Early life

During his youth, he had aspirations of becoming a footballer, a prospect which was halted due to his numerous legal encounters as a teenager. He lists his musical influences as T-Pain and Lil Wayne. His stage name was derived from friends giving him the nickname "Glock", referential of the weapon's reliability in a tribute to Smith's "grind and determination".[4]
