==Early life==
In an autobiographical song titled "Moma"〔song title=Moma | artist=Askari X | album=Message to the Black Man〕 Askari X refers to experiencing domestic abuse against himself and his mother when he was 7 years old. He talks about being unsatisfied with school, experiencing persecution and systematic racism from the school system and the government. When he rebelled against the oppression he experienced in school, the school labeled Askari X as crazy and tried to place him in foster care.
Askari X joined the Bay Area, West Coast hip hop scene when he was 16 years old. His career started with the rap group the Righteous Black Guerillas (RBG). The neighborhood of 72nd and Lacey Street in Eastmont, Oakland, where some of the RBG crew grew up, was referenced in later Askari X songs.
Askari X encountered the Uhuru Movement, then Islam as taught by Ansar El Muhammad, whose teachings began as a prison study group. Both are major influences in his music.
