Early life
At an early age, Dear Pricey[4] was exposed to his mother's love of singing. She sang songs from a small radio frequently, and he soon became curious and wanted to hear his own voice doing the same. After recording hundreds of songs on cassette tapes, he decided to take his craft to an actual recording studio, where he became serious about becoming a rapper.[5] Dear Pricey attended Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, where he would give out his mixtapes and rap with classmates.

In 2009, he signed to Musik Note Entertainment, under the management of CEO, Jay Dunning, who has worked with musicians such as Jermaine Dupri and Alicia Keys. Under the management, Dear Pricey released four mixtapes: "The Commercial", "Flow With The Stars", "The Hottest Youngest Unsigned Artist", and 2011's most inspired mixtape, "Dollar And a Dream."

People can tell you, but it’s better when you get it for you.” Dear Pricey performed at a DefJam Showcase, August 8, 2010, and won 1st place. Shortly after, he performed at the Georgia Dome World Congress Center in 2010.
