first hiphop album- Run DMC's "Raisin' Hell"
wrote my first rhyme in 1993 when I got my first single that came w/ an instrumental on it... this is embarassin... Fu-Schnickens f/ Shaq Fu-
"What's Up Doc?"...hahahahahaaaa
after that i continued to write but nothin serious...went on college radio showcasin strictly hiphop, occasionally invitin cats to freestyle, threatened Bob Dole's wife on air when she was visitin the campus lol.. did that w/ my roommate B-Mac from Pittsburgh.. (B-Mac WHERE U AT?!! I know ur new name is
B-Macculate.. I heard ur stuff!!) that's the cat who got me more into below the surface stuff.. M.O.P., Common Sense, all that good stuff circa 94 and better
continued writin on & off & hit the stores for tapes every tuesday and the mixtape shop weekly..occasionally made tapes w/ my ace, later named Pneumonics.. adopted the name X-Caliber... but really......we was playin w/ mics
in 1999 i found the Ell Oh Crew freestyle board online... just f***in around w/ my brother's computer... knew i could outrhyme the whole shit.. under the name A.V. (AudioVidual, etc.) I text battled both the existing crews by myself and whupped they asses w/ the exception of 2 cats i earned respect for... later i started workin hard and said f*** rappin..
started gettin even deeper into the underground shit.. that sh*** nobody knows about at all... u know the type or u should.. the cats w/ real poetic skill... after hearin some of that sh*** i was maaad hungry again... started writin once more
got my own computer for school sh*** and one day i just thought about that old freestyle board i used to go to... this was 2002.. i was surprised to find that sh*** was still there... started gettin on everybodys sh*** and goin battle crazy..
this time tho.. somethin changed.. cats was usin mics not keyboards and postin up real tracks.. i was like get the f*** outta here...lol.. started makin my own... after about a yr spittin again.. u find me here..
sayin "WHO WANNA BATTLE?!!"

sayin "WHO WANNA BATTLE?!!"
Why this name?
it just came to me one day when i was daydreamin in a hot ass automobile freestylin in my head.. i just said sinister knots cuz it rhymed.. then i stopped to think about all the sh*** it could mean... figured it sums up my style real nice
Do you play live?
nah i aint never done a live show.. unless u count people in my kitchen while im recordin.. everytime i spit and I'M entertained by it.. its a special moment
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
shit... it lets a lotta people think they're rappers.. from what i seen on these boards... lets a lotta people take on personalities they aint... no but... i probly wouldna got into all the people i'm into w/o p2p filesharing so thats hot.. the opportunity is there for people to learn about the real essence of this from people outside their childish cliques.. i'm sure the net will open some doors... maybe it'll bring back the radio stars that video killed....lol
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
maybe a label that *I* think is major? but not a big corporate thing no... if i was approached to cut a album for say anticon or def jux or rhymesayers? somethin like that? but i wasn't asked to go out on tour? i might do that.. i don't want the life of a rockstar though.. thanks but no thanks
Band History:
omg i just went through this shit... lemme just add that i soon became the illest sh*** around and i battle battle battle and on top of that.. at some point when i quit my job as a pest exterminator, i'm gonna cut some real songs instead of battlin all the time
