His inspiration for not letting his imperfection be his drawback comes from his mother, as she never allows him to use his lack of vision as a reason to step back.

Fury’s mother admitted him to a regular school instead of a school where blind kids would go, which allowed Fury to excel in real-life problems firsthand and experience to balance the aspects of life. 

Initially, Fury wanted to go to a blind school, but with time, he realized how his mother was pushing him to get him used to the big world outside of just a blind school.

So the ones he attended elementary were the same people he graduated with, which allowed him to communicate well with them and introduce himself to the sighted world with no hindrance.

Eventually, he fell in love with rapping after listening and getting hooked up with a lot of west coast rappers like Scarface, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Busta Rhymes, and Cypress Hill.

In an interview with 3PlayMedia, he was asked how and when he started rapping answering, which he narrated,

“Back then, you didn’t want your three-year-old, four-year-old kid listening to 2 Live Crew and Snoop Dogg. Once I saw resistance from adults – people who weren’t necessarily against rap or hip-hop, I was like, I can get in trouble for this and I like it.” 

Blind Fury listened to a lot of west coast rap music like G-Funk, and gangsta rap from an early age which filled him with enough knowledge of the music to later grow into a good celebrity rapper.
