Knolly Williams is born in Brooklyn, New York, but his family moved to Los Angeles, California, when he was 10 years old. His parents had separated when he was 5 years old, so he grew up with his mother and older sister Felicia.

Unified School District and arrested for drug dealing on campus, and charged with 4 felony counts. As a first time offender, he was sentenced to 6 weeks in Juvenile Hall, and two years probation. Father After his release, Knolly was sent to live with his father in Xenia, Ohio. His mother hoped that his father could help straighten him out and get him on the right track. The plan failed. Within 6 months, Knolly was expelled from the Greene County School District as an "Unruly Student." Frustrated,
