Life in STL...

Born and raised in St. Louis, MO and East St. Louis.
As an underprivileged child, literally dirt poor, Sergio Cac'I Sanchez Allen was blessed to find a home in hip-hop's heart while going from shelter to shelter, and family members homes, other times sleeping in his mother's car. He found out the hard way how cruel and harsh the STL streets can be.

Sergio (Young Lou) Allen discovered the thrill of music at age 5 being around his mother who was a model/video girl in the mid 90's.
Growing up in STL around so many genres of music opened the young rapper's eyes and captured his heart.

At age 12 after listening to Kanye West's 1st album entitled "College Dropout" he could relate to most of the words coming out of this rapper's mouth. And was inspired to pick up a pen and write.
Not for a deal, but for the love of it.
Over the next 4 years he would continue to write.

But when Sergio moved back to East St. Louis he would befriend a young Artist in the making by the name of Darrion Mcgee. Later using the name Maniac Mcgee. Over the period of two years, Young Lou and Maniac Mcgee formed a brotherly bond and rap group known as Mix Breed.


Later Young Lou was introduced to an underground producer named Ryan Vaughn by Maniac Mcgee. These 3 best friends would make a label called Strong Boy Ent / Thumpstar Productions.

However, Young Lou would soon leave to go to school in Alexandria VA and befriend another fellow rap artist from Atlanta by the name of Killa D. They would collaborate and form the group "Stlanta Boiz". Now Young Lou resides in Alexandria VA perfecting his craft with plans to return to St. Louis this summer..
