Stranga The Great was born Kareem Stevens the son of two well known street hustlers in Harlem, New York in 1981. His father ThunderBird Johnny Drake was respected amongst the Harlem street world and closely connected to some of hiphop's earliest pioneers. His mother Dorothy Stevens was from a small town in rural North Carolina who moved to NY during the 60's seeking a more glamorous life. Coming up in the crack cocaine era in NY young Kareem was surrounding by drug usage and a crime infected environment. As a child he was blessed to be around some of the earliest hip hop pioneers such as Jam Master Jay of Run DMC fame. Kareem's father and Jam Master Jay's mother are first cousins. During his time in NY he would spend time with Kurtis Blow and Luv Bug Starski who called ThunderBird his father the same as Kareem did. After problems between his parents lead to his mother moving back home to the south Kareem used his love for break dancing and beat boxing to escape life's harsh realities. By the time High School came he had already adopted the moniker Red Eyed Stranger, which was a character he had created to due to the fact that he kept red eyes and was very animated when it came to his rap style. Growing up infatuated by Horror and Kung Fu movies a young Stranga became a huge fan of Wu-Tang Clan and other hardcore underground hiphop groups. While he wasn't known much for his song writing abiltiy he was respected amongst all he encountered for his skill as a battle rapper. Stranger had dropped the Red Eyed from his name and decided to just go by Stranga and soon started separating himself from all the crews he was a part of with his work ethic. Stranga didn't truthfully start to pursue a life as a hip hop artist until around 2001 when he got introduced to text battling on the internet. Falling in love with being accepted by fans from all over the internet he began to hit the open mic scenes in Fayetteville NC an quickly grew a name for himself even though he was an outsider.
