He was stabbed at the age of 11, by an off duty NYC police officer. Like many others raised in the Hip Hop culture, he had a love for basket ball and music but abandoned those things to become a drug dealer. In his adolescence he gained Knowledge of self, from a man named Divine of the Nation of Gods and Earths. It was then that he was given the name True Life no affiliation to La Familia. He later began to develop his rhyming skills and his love for hip hop. He was known early on in his career as True Life aka Major Thoughts. He later changed his name to Lord Life due to the fact that he never thought to trademark, a name that he believed to be original. The name Mr. Pressure Point, is a name created as his street alter ego, complete with a different rhyme style and voice; while Lord Life rhymes on a more conscious level, to melodic beats. Lord Life or Mr. Pressure Point, has been in the industry for well over ten years. His start came to him in the early nineties when he became a ghostwriter for his cousin Lamorris, then 11 years old. After sneaking onto Queen Latifah & Naughty by Natures parked tour bus in South Carolina due to the cancellation of a concert, Lamorris free styled for the icons. They immediately took him under their wing, and later introduced him to Lisa Left Eye Lopez RIP of TLC who was already on top of the charts. Left Eye introduced Lamorris, as Malik to a young artist she had been working with named Jamal. One night in the studio, the artist Busta Rhymes created the name Illegal for the young group.
