==Early life==
Morgan was born in the Bronx and raised in a housing project in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.〔 His father named him Tracy in honor of a 17-year-old platoon mate and friend who shipped off to Vietnam with him and was killed in action days later. He is the second-oldest of five children〔 of homemaker Alicia (née Warden),〔 and Jimmy Morgan, a musician who returned from military duty in the Vietnam War as a recovering heroin addict, causing him to leave the family when Morgan was six years old.
The target of bullies as a child, Morgan attended DeWitt Clinton High School.〔 In 1985, at age 17 in his sophomore year, he learned his father had contracted AIDS from hypodermic needle use.〔The Star Ledger. section 1. pg 20. June 8, 2014〕 His father died in November 1987, at age 39.〔 Morgan married his girlfriend Sabina that year and dropped out of high school just four credits short of his diploma.〔 Already raising their first son and living on welfare, Morgan sold crack cocaine with limited success,〔 but began earning money performing comedy on the streets〔 after his best friend was murdered. He said in 2009: "He would say to me, 'Yo, Tracy, man, you should be doing comedy.' A week later, he was murdered. And that for me, that was like my Vietnam. I had my survival guilt when I started to achieve success. Why I made it out and some guys didn't."〔
Morgan embarked on a stand-up comedy career, successfully enough that he "finally moved to a nice community in (Bronx neighborhood of ) Riverdale, from a run-down apartment next to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx".〔
