There is a good chance your first statement is wrong. While he was born in Guyana in 1973, other information suggests he came to the U.S. with his parents in the 1980s, grew up in Brooklyn, attended and graduated from a black oriented college (Coffin State)–graduating in 1998–so he would have started college a few years before then.
