After starting high school at 14, he impressed his Literature teacher with a amazing short book of poems he had put together past due for a class project. Her reaction to the book was tears and congratulating the young student on such a good job. She and her husband attempted influenced Corey to consider publishing of the short book, but he refused deciding that it was not the path he wanted to take in his career. A year later in high school he met "G-Frank" (Gus) and learned from many freestyles heard that they would be a successful duo if working together.
