Drezz Luvv was born Octavious “Dion” Brooks in Albemarle, NC. between 2 single parent homes by his mom and his stepped-up dad along with his brothers Trey & Tom. With a total of six to seven other siblings, that he would eventually come close to, Dion learned early on that co-parenting could be a norm even if the kids aren’t biologically yours.
Not much of an athlete; when told to go play Dion ran the streets of Kingville & the projects of Amhurst Gardens where he realized the advantages of being a street nerd. Dion was literally a lifelong student of math & science attending NC State, A&T University, UNC Charlotte, Baltimore City & Stanly community College studying Engineering.
Inspired by contributing to others success and motivated by the results of being able to sit back and say “my words had a positive influence on their life” is what he lives for. Nas said “recording your words allows you to live forever” & he feels that his Spoken Words allows him to be immortal.

How To Grow Diamonds In The Rough a Garden is a collection of spoken word poetry over the past 20 years or so, ironically my daughters age and are thoughts on paper of the journey and things that turn "Boyz To Men", shout out to Michael Bivens.
The Book that accompanies the mixtape titled How To Grow Diamonds In A Garden was mostly inspired by the late great Tupac Shakur's poetry book The Rose That Grew From Concrete. It's just as much of a struggle for a rose to grow through concrete as it is to grow a diamond in a garden.
I wasn't a huge fan of Tupac musically, mostly due to taking sides during the East Coast vs West Coast hip hop war of the 90's. I admired how his books was put together whereas the scribble he may have had in a journal or rhyme book mirrored the legible copy that accompanied every piece. This made me reflect on something Oprah Winfrey or Maya Angelou said about writing everything down so your voice will always be remembered.
The garden specifically represents Amhurst Garden, the housing project I grew up in. The garden also symbolizes the good and bad environments, people and situations I had to deal with.
The diamonds are the hard life lessons gained and the person that came out on the other side shining "Bright Like A Diamond", in the words of my imaginary baby mama, Rihanna. The diamonds are also the poem themselves.
