Adnan Hamidović was born in the Bosnian city of Bijeljina on 31 May 1982, where he lived until 1992, when the Bosnian War started and Yugoslavia broke apart. After escaping the war, he settled with his family in Nürnberg, Germany until 1998. There he was first introduced to hip-hop culture, where he first started to make hip-hop music and graffiti. His first rap lyrics were in German. German hip-hop has influenced his style of rap throughout his career and he remains influenced by it. After returning to Bosnia, he went to Tuzla and continued with his graffiti, making him one of the first to make hip-hop related graffiti art after the war.
In 1999, with the beginning of the station "Fmjam" on radio "Kameleon", he befriended DJ Soul and Erol, who started Fmjam and the first hip-hop demo singles. Frenkie, Koma, Ady started the group "Prljavi Anđeli" (Dirty Angels).
