Thuggizzle Speaks To Bridget Smith Of Kens5 News On Life Before&After Foster Care

Born in San Antonio Texas the middle child of three sisters, Phillip Hodge was raised in an environment comparable to rapper Curtis Jackson (50-cents) upbringing. Like "50", Phillips mother was a well-known drug dealer who regularly made drug transactions in their apartment. The high traffic caught the eye of neighbors who suspected fowl play and reported her to Child Protective Services. It was at the tender age of nine Phillip and his sister's were removed from their mothers care after countless failed (CPS) investigations, therefore branding them "wards of the state." Within that same year, Phillip learned that his father (whom he did not know well, but admired) had passed away. It was then Phillip began to channel his loneliness and pain into rap.
