For Shawtee RE, being raised by an alcoholic mother was never easy. At the age of 6, she witnessed mother stab herself in her own home. After countless visits by police and ambulances, due to her mother's bad state, Shawtee RE decided she could no longer take it. She found her escape through music and as she grew older, the streets. She began to write lyrics on anything she could find but the contrast of her home life, extracted a desire to find a way to support herself independently. Growing up with gangsters and thugs, hustling seemed like the easiest option, not knowing at the time, how much it would effect her life. The streets adopted her the name "Shawtee Reup".
