Sean Martin Slaughter was born on May 4, 1976, in Queens, New York City, New York, the son of Alvin Slaughter, and was raised in Queens and Brooklyn. Slaughter explains that his relationship with his father was strained growing up, as his father was often away, and, when he was available, Sean was not very interested in the church or his father's music activities.
