At the age of ten, Showty 4’llebn moved to Fayetteville NC, where she had to adapt to an extremely different atmosphere and much faster environment. She continued to perform at school talent shows and sang in the church choir throughout her life. Since she was also very good at hip-hop dancing, she gained respect as one of the best dancers in the local areas.

She collaborated with Tlock by singing the chorus for one of their songs and they immediately became a local sensation. They won and reigned as the first champions of, “Iron Mic Battle” formally known as “The Grind” in Fayetteville NC (a rap and music competition of local preferred performers). This pushed her motivation to continue to win every competition they were in. She has always performed and danced with passion to impress the audiences for all performances.
