did a few shows last year along with my crew the Morning After Collective, backed by some very talented musicians on drums, bass, guitar, keys etc. currently working on a brand new solo set

the music industry is going through all kinds of crazy fluxuations for a multitude of reasons, the primary ones being the huge influx of bootlegging, crappy a&r policies among the majors, and the availability to anyone with a day job to sound as good with home recordings as any standard professional studio. i could write a novel on the situation of the music industry but i got music to make.

given the right contract, hell yes.

i owe it all to my brother, ACI. he got me into hip hop from an early age, always bumpin tribe called quest, the roots, common sense, black star. then one day he was working on a beat or something and i decided i wanted to rap to it. that's when it all started.

to name a few:
aceyalone, common, the roots, atmosphere, madlib, el-p, brother ali, sage francis, organized konfusion. i could go on forever.

the basement. that's where the magic happens.

mac G4, pro tools, reason 2.5, digidesign digi001, oktava mk-319 condenser mic, JBL 4206 studio monitors, and a dusty old yamaha 4 track.
