i use to be called phifty grand.....back in detroit...when i came home to cincinnati..i felt a need for a change...i had the sound everybody wanted....but i still stayed rooted in the streets with my people no matter how popular i got....so what ever i get,i give back....i wanted to give my fam..my city...my people that shine they want...if i helped them get to how far they can go..then im happy...we all want a lil bit of fame somewhere..and some how

i have preformed all over the midwest..east coast...and south...i love the midwest though..nothing like home...i love the road..i do travel alot to be honest...i think some of my favs. was when i did demf(detroit electronic music festival)..i mean...picture like thousand of people...everybody rockin to ya shit...it was dope as hell..and there was the shows i did on tour with some industry acts..i've rocked with some of the best...from B.I.G. to JIGGA on the liquid mix tour...i done seen alot...bad part is alot of rookie cats think they know too much..but i have seen alot of shit..positive and negative..

it gives me a chance to touch cats in places i havent.....so i know its doin the industry well..they need to stop bein ass about the mp3 thing though...them cats is makin mad loot trust me...its mostly the labels...then they choke out the artist....so then the artist aint gettin paid....the industry is shady...that why we need the independents to rise up and take over....

if i can still walk away with my creativity in take...and my soul..yeah..hell yeah...if i knew i was promoted right...yeah..if my lp didnt do well and they didnt sh*** on me..yeah...but thats a dream to be slept on thought right?....if i get the right points on my lp..yes..the industry aint that bad...just the ones who run it....right now..i'm signed to an indi label called OVERGROUND ..production team......and its all ran under DEFINITION LABEL GROUP....me and my fam,YOUNG ZONE..we run most of it together...and also our partner ILL PO(A.R.T.),...we like the new roc-a-fella/rawkus/def jam/interscope..lol...
