She made a bold move by naming herself R.E.A.L. and is living up to her name by conveying her real life experiences in her music.  She is not resting on the fact that she is the daughter of DJ Easy Mike or the niece of Grandmaster Flash because at the end of the day that doesn’t matter when you come from a broken home which led to foster care and being raised by the streets.
