Why this name?
I came up with it years ago. I got the name from the bible. I read about the city of Damascus and about the warriors that fought and died on the grounds of Damascus.
I also took the name because it means drama, action, murder, assasin, survival, crazy, underdog, and scattered.
So there are two reasons why i picked that name. Because I used to be wild, crazy, and scattered. And at those times it fit my description.

Do you play live?
Yes. I've performed in my home city in Philadelphia at the Luxurious Ballroom on 9th and Callowhill. I've also performed at the Larry Holmes place, MusicFest (Bethlehem, PA), at the Bridge and the DL in Allentown. Also at random, if my manager wanted me to just spit for some people, i would do it. I'll perform anywhere.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it helps the industry, a whole lot.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That is my ambition, its my goal. To sign with a major label, producer or whatever.
Band History:
Just over the years, bein younger around different peers. It was an everyday thing. We would stand around on the corner and we would drink 40s, smoke weed, and before i started, these peers were in the game already, and I would watch them spit lyrics to the best of there knowledge, but never could do it. It just fell upon me years later, and i got better and better, and i chose to do this for the rest of my life. This is my career.
Your influences?
Theres a lot of people. 2pac, Biggie smalls was alright, KRS-1, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Marcus Garvey, Nelson Mandella, Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad, people like that inspired me, Martin Luther King. Leaders are what made me be who I am today as far as music, because I want to be. I want to be a leader, aswell as a powerful politcal leader at the same time.
Favorite spot?
It would be Philadelphia now and then, but I love to travel. I guess Florida would be good, I want to go to Florida.
Anything else...?
