He also received the name “Cut ‘Em Loose Bruce” because he was always in something as a child. He loved being around his family and friends, being an only child, he considered his cousins his brothers and sisters.

Growing up on Lenox Ave Bruce had a passion for rap music (one of his favorite rappers being Tupac), which led to him think about pursuing a rap career.
