"R.A.'s father, Staff Sgt. John A. Thorburn, was a Vietnam veteran affected by Agent Orange. R.A.'s family was significantly affected by the potent chemical. His brother Maxx was born handicapped and blind, eventually dying at the age of 10, while his sister Dee Ann was unable to walk or speak; she died in 2007 at age 27. R.A. tells the story of his father in the Jedi Mind Tricks track "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story". John A. Thorburn died 7 January 2010 from cancer. R.A. said that his father was truly happy within his last year of life, due to his mindset that he could plan his death. His verse was given the Quotable of the Month in The Source magazine. In his song "Lessons," R.A. alludes to suffering from mental illness himself."
