South Carolina native Infinity tha Ghetto Child is among the many hardcore rappers who has come out of hip-hop's Dirty South school, and many of his rhymes -- although not really gangsta rap in the conventional sense -- angrily describe the harsh realities of ghetto life and inner-city thug life. His rapping style is not subtle, understated, or laid-back; he has a rough, abrasive, jagged delivery to go with his sobering lyrics (which is quite a contrast to someone like West Coast gangsta rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, who combines sobering lyrics with a relaxed, lazy rapping style). Ghetto life is something that Infinity tha Ghetto Child has first-hand knowledge of; born %Antwon Buie in Charleston, SC, in 1980, he grew up in that southern city's infamous Johnson Street Housing Projects where he was surrounded by poverty, black-on-black crime, high unemployment, and drugs.
