Honeykomb Brazy, whose real name is Nahshon Jones, was born on September the 15th in 1993. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and both his parents are African-American.

That being said, he started taking music seriously when he was 19 years old. At the time, he was simply a songwriter and had not yet begun to venture into the world of rapping. Eventually, though, he did become a rapper, and his first music releases, Young Weezy, Cry Baby, 16 shots and Need it, set the tone for his career, and his fanbase started to grow steadily.
3. Record label
Eventually, he did become a big music act, especially in the Atlanta region. As he continued to grow in popularity, major record labels began to follow him.

After signing his record deal, he released a couple of records, namely Yellow freestyle and Dead People, both charted and hugely successful. What is more amazing is that he made and put out the two songs after being involved in a shooting involving a couple of his friends. He also released Mirror, which alluded to the incident.
