Born Germaine Williams in 1974 in Jamaica, Canibus moved to the United States with his mother at a young age. Because his mother's career required constant relocation, the family moved frequently and the soon-to-be rapper found solace within himself. His rhetorical abilities blossomed later, once hip-hop became the guiding force in his life. He began rhyming and in the mid-'90s joined a group called T.H.E.M. (The Heralds of Extreme Metaphors.)

This group consisted also of his partner Webb. Following a fallout with his partner, Canibus pursued a solo career and began infiltrating the mix-tape circuit. By 1997, he had approached the brink of the major-label rap game, guesting regularly on high-profile releases: He contributed to "Uni-4-orm," an inclusion on the Rhyme & Reason soundtrack also featuring Heltah Skeltah and Rass Kass; "Love, Peace & Nappiness," an inclusion on the Lost Boyz's Love, Peace & Nappiness also featuring Redman and A+; "Making a Name for Ourselves," an inclusion on Common's One Day It'll All M

I remember when I first got into underground hip-hop. I used to be a Hot 97 groupie, bought DMX and Mase's albums respectively. Now I cry whenever I think about it. Anyways, after a stint with mainstream obsession, I started to get into underground hip-hop. The artist that turned my radars on to true lyricism, tight beats, and dope rhyme topics was Canibus. Canibus opened my eyes to a whole different aspect of hip-hop when I was an ignorant fan. The flow he employed combined with his rhyme schemes earned him respect throughout the underground and mainstream. Canibus has gone through a long journey from being loved in the mainstream, to hated, and now to underground respect.

This story starts in Jamaica in 1974 when Canibus was born Germaine Williams. His parents suffered a divorce, and he moved around a lot with his mom because of her occupation as a housing project manager. He lived in places like Washington D.C., Atlanta, Jersey, and London. Of course with all that moving around, Germaine had issues with finding friends and enjoying a current environment.
