Early life
Luter was born in Dallas, Texas, and moved to Chicago at an age 10. Luter had a penchant for writing at an early age and began writing poems and entertaining short stories by the time he was 7. After domestic conflicts in the home came to a head, his mother packed up her belongings and escorted Luter,and his younger brother Victor, back to her hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Luter graduated from Whitney Young Magnet High School in 1996 with the nickname "TD" or "TD Milt" because of his array of touchdown catches on the high school football field. After the 1996 football season, he was named to the Second Team All-Area, as well as playing in the annual North vs. South All Star Game. Luter then to proceed to attend Temple University where he began to take his songwriting seriously, influenced and inspired by the street ciphers and local rap scene in Philly. This was a Hip Hop environment unlike his hometown of Chicago where he never saw anything remotely close to live impromptu performances. Also,the access to mixtapes and music rarely heard opened Luter up to a world he normally only viewed from the outside looking in. In the Summer of 1999, he met a young up and coming MC known as Wasalu, aka Lupe Fiasco. That following Summer of 2000, Mick entered himself, as well as Lupe, in the 2000 Source Magazine Rap Battle. Luter went on to place Fourth in the nationwide competition in New York.
