- Cornell Haynes
Jnr., 2 November 1974, Austin, Texas, USA.
Haynes had an itinerant childhood, moving to
Spain at one point before ending up in the
ghettos of St. Louis, Missouri. A talented
baseball player, Haynes opted instead to form
the St. Lunatics rap crew with high school
friends Kyjuan (b. Robert Cleveland), City Spud
(b. Lavell Webb), Big Lee (b. Ali Jones), Murphy
Lee (b. Tohri Harper), and Slow Down (b. Corey
Edwards). The St. Lunatics enjoyed a local
underground hit in 1996 with "Gimme What Ya
Got", but despite this success they failed to
persuade any major labels to offer them a
recording contract. |
