Trill Will Gold Grill

Rapper Trill Will Gold Grill was born Willie Rutherford in Mississippi. Later, his mother decided to move to San Diego, California with some close relatives to pursue more work opportunities. As an unfortunate result, they became homeless and lived in a shelter for an extended period of time. While getting financially established, he and his mother moved to public housing. On a daily basis, he was exposed to robbery, drugs, and gang activity. As a young child without a positive father figure, he began to adapt to his troubled peers. Neighborhood gangs pressured him into joining. Because he refused to join, he was hospitalized that left him with a severe cut and a permanent mark that he carries today. Due to the non-stop violence in the community, his mother felt that it was best to move back South to Mississippi. Coming back to the community where he grew up during his early years, he was heavily influenced by neighborhood drug dealers.
