During the start of football training camp in the summer of 1998, in Fishers, Indiana (suburb on the northeast side of Indianapolis) is when Alphonso Gibson Jr. "FACTS" & Adam "BIG ZIG" Zeigler first met as they started there 7th grade year. ZIG moved to Indiana in late 1995, and noticed a new (and obviously black) kid that looked shy and didn't say much.

ZIG knew the way "Fonzo" (one of his many aliases) felt being able to relate to having to "be the knew kid" - let alone being one of (maybe) a dozen of the Black students out of 85% of the Caucasian students at Hamilton Southeastern Jr. High. Adam "ZIG" Zeigler was born in Fulton County (Atlanta), Georgia on March 5th, 1986th his parents whom had been married for 7 years and were from SMALL TOWN COAL TOWN Central Pennsylvania. At age 3, ZIG moved to Washington D.C where his younger sister Devin was Born. Living in Germantown, Maryland from 90'-93', Then his Father, who worked for Orkin Pest Control was transferred to Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. 1st grade - 3rd grade in the cold, long winters; Once again, his Father had to move the family to Indianapolis. Again being transferred by his Company in 1995, Zig had to finish his 4th grade year halfway through in Fishers, Indiana.

"I experienced so much "bullying" and ALWAYS having to be "the new kid. Usually the first year people tried to pick on me, tease me, spit on me, call me ugly, taunt me, not include me in things, etc... In Maryland, I had to fight this older Mexican kid (he had mental anger issues and needed help looking back) at the bus stop everyday. For some odd reason, he just always targeted me? Maybe because I was in kindergarten & he was in 4th grade. I never backed down and usually was able to get him on the ground while choking him until the School bus driver pulled up and broke it up...I took my licks too. It took me only a few months to find some good friends in Wisconsin because I was very athletic, tough, competitive and always played with the older kids at recess. But still had hard times fitting in at every place I moved to as a kid, especially Fishers, IN. At first, I thought Indiana was so lame and the people sucked. The only way people became my friend is because I would dominate gym glass, Football, Hockey, Baseball, Wrestling...except Basketball was my worst sport but I was the white Dennis Rodman. I just never had a shot. Only a slick left handed lay up.

So, ZIG & FONZO became and remained friends throughout the years. "I remember how timid he looked, so I tried to talk to him and make him feel welcome as much as I could, b/c I know how bad it sucks to be the new kid". Little did they know, GOD had a plan for them 10 years later as they would become partners of a Label (Team). Worked at a professional recording studio (whenever we wanted to) and made history. FACTS came to ZIG in late 2009 explaining he wanted to start a career in the Music Biz by Rapping. FACTS said he had been writing bars and poetry for years. He wanted to learn how to record, and how to get beats. One week later we had our first Recording Session w/ Super Beat Maker "K - Fresko Jones". It was clear to ZIG there was SERIOUS potential in Fonzo's vision, writing and Rhyming. One week later, we were in our first official Recording Session at Azmyth Recording Studios. Artist Development went under construction starting that November day in 09' and in February 2013, FACTS 1st solo Album was finally released, "The Suburban Misfit" LP.
