Born Dennis Williams, Tize was born and raised in Orlando Fl in the rough parts of the city. Parrommore was the street that he ran with friends and local drug dealers. Between the ages of 8 to 12, Tize was really into sports like basketball and football. Playing along side fellow friend and teammate” Marquis Daniels”, he would us sports as a way of escaping the mean streets of Orlando to stay out of trouble and make his Father proud. With mother being involved in drugs and father working many hard hours, Tize mainly had his grandmother as his parent to grow up on. Friends would soon decide to take the fast money life at the age of 15, but Tize concentrated on providing a good life for his father and grandmother. Senior year in high school, Tize had offers to Universities for basketball and football needing a certain score on SAT’s to pass. Coming up short he was forced to play community college basketball with the offer from a local coach after seeing him perform in a summer league game. Doing freestyles on road trips and making beats at home, he really got into rapping as a career if basketball didn’t workout. After not being interested in school he dropped out and started his rap career. Having a child on the way, Tize moved to Jacksonville, Fl with his now wife to raise his baby girl and hopes of getting exposure in the music industry. Hooking up with fellow rapper name Ken, they formed the group named County and did shows in Jacksonville but that lead to there split after the decision was made that the group didn’t click together as a group. Tize decided to move his new family back to Orlando where he felt like he had a better chance with people he had more contacts with. Getting back home went down hill as the streets called him heavily and he got involved more then ever imagined with the streets. As years went by and people started to go to jail or end up dieing, Tize took the rap music more serious then before and left the street hustle behind for a better life. Now he sits and waits for the perfect opportunity to unleash the street slang and stories that he’s lived to the people of the rap community.
