Early life

Bromley was born on May 28, 1992, in Jamaica, New York. His mother was addicted to crack and he was himself born with an addiction. His father, a pimp, beat one of his prostitutes after tying her to a radiator. She died, he was convicted of homicide, and sentenced to prison when Jay was just nine months old. Custody of Jay went to his aunt and uncle when he was four months old. [1] [2] He attended Flushing High School in Queens, New York, where he was named to the New York Post All-City First-team and was an all-borough selection following his senior season.
