in 2007, i think, maybe 2008? his older brother died from AIDS, shortly before his father passed away. he said in an interview at the debut of album "brothers blood" that this album was a dedication to his late brother and father. saying "you never realize how good you have it, until you got it bad" saying, "i used to be so pessimistic, but now, i see the good in everything i find, im tired of sleeping with sadness in my bones, so i simply decided not to."
