Because I'm gonna show ya'll some things

Yes . A lot locally and some shows outta town . I've done St.Louis , Indianan , DC , Virginia and a few other spots but I'm ready to go international

It helps an artist expand and reach more people as long as cats don't get it twisted and THINK that they can blow up or whatever just because they got some music on the net . You gotta WORK HARD , way past the net , the net is the easiest way to do it so don't let it fool you , HIT THE STREETS to REALLY see how people react to you

No doubt , but I'd rather stay independent . I wanna make my own dough and make my own choices without having to hold back on anything ... Musics about freedom and I'm not gonna let some "FAME" (about a label can REALLY do for you) mess up my money , muisc and movement

Visual began his development as an emcee enthralled by the auditory atmosphere he found within his Logan Square home on Chicagos North Westside. With Gang activity being at it's peak in the 80's, it was rough for a hispanic kid in the Logan square neighborhood that Visual grew up in. Regardless of all the drama, guns, drugs etc, Visual and his family held their ground and made it through those rough times. Music was the main thing that gave Visual an alternative the downside of his neighborhood. He was especially captivated by any type of song that was thematic, in which the musicians passed the listeners a lens with which to view their story. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, John Lennon, Krs-One, and Nas instilled in Visual a fascination with story-telling. It is in this spirit that Visual chose his name. Visual believes that regardless of your birthplace or experience, he can offer you a means through his music from which to see life from his perspective.

Consistently appearing on mixtapes (including his Community Service crew mixtapes), releasing an EP (Dirty) and an LP (Work) both under the name NDvisual, and collaborating with Chicago pioneers the Molemen: Visual is steadily establishing himself as one of the hardest working emcees in the Chicago underground. A relentless Grinder, Visual continues to display a work ethic that conveys not only a love for hip-hop music, but an evident desire for success. Visuals long-term goal is longevity within the musical arena, but believes his Hustlers resilience will provide opportunities for other ventures as well. Visuals most recent release is the LP Figured it out which is a conceptually diverse record and displays the best of what Visual has to offer.

As far as Hip Hop or Rap goes , I like OutKast , Goodie Mob , Nas , Krs , Common , the Roots , Run DmC , Slick Rick , Ludacris , Cormega , Jadakiss , Jay Z , Eminem , Guru , 2 Pac , Snoop Dogg , 90's Gangsta Rap , and the list goes on and on ...

I'm into all kinds of Hip Hop and all kinds of music in general . I love Salsa , Merengue , Bachata and old School Puerto Rican/Cuban Music . I listen to a lot of BoB Marley and Marvin Gaye . Hendrix , Erykah badu , Luaryn Hill , Temptations ... Too much music to name

Humboldt Park , Logan Square ... Downtown ... Food spots (too many to name)... CHICAGO . PERIOD. I love this city , I'm really from here , I'm all over the place and people know me , I ain't one of them cats that says there from "CHICAGO" to get some fake respect, holla @ the North Side , South Side , West Side , the people will let you know who I am
