Faceman was born in Queens and raised in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Born in 1985, Face was fortunate enough to witness hip-hop's golden era through his childhood, and listened to greats such as Big Pun, Mobb Deep, Biggie, and the Lost Boyz. In what now seems like a stale era for hip-hop, Faceman finds his influences more in the underground from artists like Immortal Technique, Necro, and the recently major Saigon.
