Safaree Lloyd Samuels, the celebrated Jamaican-American rapper and songwriter was born on July 4, 1981, in the bustling city of Brooklyn, New York. In a loving family environment, he was raised in Midwood alongside his two siblings, the lovely Shamika Samuels and Samantha Samuels. 

Safaree‘s mother, Shirley Samuels, was an important figure in his upbringing, while his father, a well-to-do businessman, preferred to keep a low profile from the media.

Growing up in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, he enjoyed a childhood filled with laughter, excitement, and joy, playing with his siblings in the local parks, exploring the bustling streets of his neighborhood, and going to school together.
