Big Floppa was born in Miami, Florida, on December 24, 1984, being the second child of Alexander Karakal and Catherine Caracal. Big Floppa is of Floppaslavian descent, according to an interview in 2014, hence his Slavic-like name, although his grandfather and great-grandfatherdid not have Slavic names, his grandmother did have a Slavic name as she lived in Floppaslaviaand married his grandfather. Big Floppa has two siblings: his older half-brother Justin and his little sister Floppette. He lived most of his childhood in Miami with his Big Floppa's family

His talent in music and arts started showing when he was four. Big Floppa's kindergarten teacher was teaching the students to sing when suddenly Big Floppa, instead of adequately singing, rapped smoothly. The teacher loved his rap and called his father to say that Big Floppa is talented. Big Floppa's father, who was not interested in music in any sort, ignored it and told Big Floppa to "just be normal and do nothing". Big Floppa insisted on rap, so every Friday, Big Floppa's teacher would ask Big Floppa to rap at the front of the class. He was so happy, even though nobody cared.

CHAPTER 2: rapping life

rapping In the 1990s, Big Floppa and Justin had a conversation in middle school, where they joked about being an actual rapper. Justin, who was a supportive brother, told Big Floppa that if he becomes a rapper, he would be "rich af". Big Floppa said that he had considered becoming one, but Justin interrupted and said he needed a catchy stage name. Thus, the name "Big Floppa" was born. Throughout middle school, Big Floppa and Justin often slept late to write rap lyrics and beat, with the help of their sister Floppette, who attended art class. However, Big Floppa's grades plummeted since he focused only on his hobby, so he stopped making lyrics and tunes until 2010 when he wrote his first single, "Big Floppa".
