Born on November 1,1984, Corey Arthur a.k.a. Sparda Deleon grew up on the poor streets of the Bronx, New York. In a very abusive household lead by an alcoholic father. The youngest of 4 children, Corey can recall the hard times he faced in his own words. “I remember going to my friends crib sometimes just to eat and end up having to steal his clothes just to have something to rock to school! Things was so ruff I had to rock my sisters clothes with pink skippys!! Yeah, that was life”.
Forced to hustle drugs and steal clothes there was one incident that changed his life. “It was a time my father was drunk and threatened to kill me and my mom and I called the cops on him and when they came my mom lied and said that she didn’t tell me to call the cops and my father beat my ass!!”
With so much pain and heartache he vented through writing the song called “My Life”. “Once I finished writing I realized Hip-Hop was my outlet; hearing certain songs and writing my own, it helped.”
