Afroman, born Joseph Foreman, has been writing music ever since high school. He got his start at church where he played drums and eventually moved on to playing guitar. Before living in Mississippi, he resided in East Palmdale, Los Angeles. While there, he released "Sell Your Dope" [Nov. '99] and played parties, sidewalks, contests, etc.
He would then move to Hattiesburg, Mississippi after becoming fed up with the LA vibe.
