[edit] Career

A Defensive Tackle and competitor in discus and track at high school, Drake began to train as a wrestler at the invitation of a friend operating a small Californian wrestling promotion in Oakland ^[1]. Drake has competed for numerous organisations in the California area including XPW (under the name Saleem Jihad), UPW, NWA Pro and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. He is best known as Babi Slymm, a street gangsta typically sporting gold jewellery and wearing red attire and bandanas (associated in California with the Bloods street gangs). Drake has received his greatest exposure recently competing for MTV's Wrestling Society X, in which he has formed a team with Ruckus named Keepin' It Gangsta ^[2].

In 2005 Drake was featured in 101 Reasons Not To Be A Pro Wrestler^[3], a documentary by Michael Moody released by Hollymood Entertainment featuring shoot comments from a variety of wrestlers. After the documentary's release footage was released on YouTube by a Hollymood Entertainment employee showing Drake confronting and apparently punching Moody over differences in opinion over the film's final presentation^[4].

On January 26, 2007 Drake officially joined Naruki Doi's Muscle Outlaw'z faction in the Japanese Dragon Gate promotion, beginning a new era in his career. Using the name Cyber Gang (a reference to his gangsta image), he is currently in a fixed tag-team with fellow faction member Cyber Kong ^[5].
