Lawrence =Culture. Maybe itâs our proximity to Kansas City, or perhaps itâs the youthful energy generated by a university population of more than 30,000, but culturally, Lawrence is truly unique. Itâs an area surprisingly rich in diversity of thought, opinion, and artistic inspiration.
French Montana was born Karim Kharbouch on November 9, 1984 in Rabat, Morocco. He grew up at the family estate outside Casablanca where he lived for the first 13 years of his life.
Since emigrating to the South Bronx from Morocco in his early teens, French Montana has gone on to found his own imprint (Coke Boys), sign with Diddy's Bad Boy Records and Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, release twenty mixtapes and a studio album, and generally rub shoulders with hip-hop's elite.
