Before rapper Why-G would become one of Toronto\u2019s most promising young artists, he was born on November 12th 1994 and would spend the better part of his youth growing-up around the city\u2019s most notorious neighborhood \u2013 Jane & Finch. It was in this part of the city that Why-G would bounce between his mom\u2019s place on Orpington crescent, his Auntie\u2019s home in Driftwood, and his grandma\u2019s house at the intersection of Jane and Sheppard while his mom headed off to her job as a Child Youth worker during the day. As much back and forth as he was doing at home, Why-G was doing nearly as much shuffling at school as well, heading from Beverly Heights Middle School to Elmbank Junior Middle Academy for a year of Grade 8 and then off to C.W. Jeffrey\u2019s Collegiate Institute for his high-school career. It was a hectic adolescence to say the least, but all this moving around never got in the way of him making friends. In fact, Why-G grew-up alongside Quinto Armani Gardner, aka, Pressa, and their history goes back a long way with both sets of their parents having been friends from the time they were attending high-school together.
