Koda’s mother raised him on mainly Country Western music as it was her favorite genre of music.He’d hear Tim McGraw,Keith Urban, & Kenny Chesney all throughout his house and could sing all of their songs word for word.Artists like Lil Wayne and Childish Gambino inspired Koda to write raps displaying his lyrical wordplay and diversity in his song concepts.Koda would join cyphers wherever he could and quickly made a name for himself in the local Virginia hiphop music scene as a respected lyrical emcee and artist. In the midst of him rising up in Virginia’s hip-hop scene an unthinkable tragedy happened which changed his life forever. Koda was involved in a major car wreck which almost claimed his life and the life of his older sister.His head was split wide open, bones were broken, and he suffered a plethora of other injuries. Although he survived, it ended up taking him off of his feet for quite some time as he needed time for his staples to be removed and time for his body to heel. After he and his sister recuperated from his near death experience, he got himself back in the hip-hop ring, picking up where he had left off, growing his following even more.
