Early Life
Hurricane Chris was raised in the Cedar Grove neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana. He attended Huntington High School in Shreveport. During early life Chris could only read at a 3rd grade level, but since he is Hooked on Phonics maybe he will make it. In 2007, Huntington principal Jerry Davis declared September 25 as "Hurricane Chris Day". He dropped out of high school in 2007 to pursue his rap career. In an interview with Samantha Morgan of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana newspaper The Advocate, he stated that he came up with "Hurricane" as part of his stage name from his ability to rap fast and twist the words, "like a hurricane had just blown through".

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Early education can only promise to help make the third and fourth and fifth years of life good ones. It cannot insure without fail that any tomorrow will be successful. Nothing “fixes” a child for life, no matter what happens next. But exciting, pleasing early experiences are seldom sloughed off. They go with the child, on into first grade, on into the child’s long life ahead.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
