Born Robert Alan Diaz In Brooklyn N.Y. PH (aka "Pumpkinhead"), did not know what his future had in store for him. The son of a hard working single mother grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with his younger sister and mother in a 2 bedroom apartment. PH started getting into Hip Hop in the early 80's. Movies like Beat Street, Breakin and Wildstyle inspired this B-boy to embrace Hip Hop culture to the fullest. As a 10 yr. Old B-boy, PH would battle local crews alone in search of acceptance for having heart and skill for his age. Finally gaining acclaim for his breaking and popping skills he quickly moved on to his next goal, which was to be an MC. After hearing Dana Dane's Nightmares, PH started penning little raps during his 6th Grade Language art class, where he was the top Poet.
