Efren Ramirez . He is an American rapper and recording artist who was born on July 5, 1976 in Detroit, Michigan.

As a member of D12, he is best known for his lyrics, which have been described as unconventional. Among the topics he’s covered in his songs are foot fungus, bisexuality, watersports, drugs, transvestites, incest, and rape. Even his solo song “Just Like U” on the explicit version of the album D12 World was partially censored. Other solo albums he has brought out are Attack of the Weirdos, Hannicap Circus, and Blue Cheese & Coney Island. He has been described as weird, even for a rapper, though some of his lyrics carry on the standard tradition of misogyny.
