Raised in a single-parent household\, h is mother raised 6 children (older sisters helped with the little ones) an d he was the youngest. His mothers reasoning to send him away for a portio n of his life was her fear of Nando following in the footsteps of his elde r brothers\, who were caught between the street life of Alphabet City. Nan do spent 5 years in Bonao\, D.R.
