King Lil G

His son, Daniel Gonzales, more famous by stage name, ‘Baby Gunz,’ born on February 7, 2006 in Los Angeles, California, is an Instagram star. Daniel He featured in the mixtape, ‘AK47 Boyz,’ at the age of eight.

Gonzalez and his partner Kimberly welcomed their daughter, Lexi Juliette, in June 2018.

Alex was born on July 30, 1986, in Inglewood, southwestern Los Angeles County, California, United States. His parents had Mexican ancestry. He was raised along with his two elder brothers by his mother singlehandedly.

He considered his two elder brothers as his role models and as he grew up around them he got to learn the knowhow of surviving in the streets. In his early years, he became a member of a gang, dropped out of his school and became a father. He was kept in juvenile hall for some time and then released under house arrest.

He developed an ear for Hip Hop music after he started listening to artists like Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, RBL Posse, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E in the early 1990s. He was so inspired by the lyrics and compositions of these artists that he started penning down his own lyrics when he was just twelve years of age. He also took inspiration from the Mexican folk ballads called ‘corridos’ music.

Although he never contemplated taking up music as his career, the dark early phase of his life gradually secluded him. He would find solace in writing songs during his stay in the juvenile hall and also under house arrest. Gradually, he started giving expression to his thoughts in the form of rap. Thus his own personal experiences and struggles formed the main sources of his materials. One of the primary themes of his music is his pain of growing up without his father around.

Even though nobody relied or came up to help him initially, the determined rapper went on with his resolve and endeavours in music and gradually evolved as one of the rising rappers of the industry. Although he received offers from all major labels, Gonzalez decided to independently develop his career.

On January 1, 2004, he released his album ‘LA County’s Most Wanted’ through PR Records. Some of the songs of the album are ‘Where We Roll,’ ‘My Gangster Ways,’ ‘Living Life Like a Gangster,’ and ‘Mind of the Criminal.’

His next album titled ‘Underground Chpt. 1’ included track such as ‘We Put It Down,’ ‘Look in My Eyes,’ I’m Outta Control,’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Be Right’ gave him initial recognition.
