Remember the rap group, Philosophy? If so, then you remember me.

Why this name?

The reason is in "Late Blossom." Go get it to find out or to be reminded.

Do you play live?

THANK YOU, SEATTLE!!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It's a gift and a curse really. It helps because there are certain acts out that I would not be able to hear of if it wasn't for mp3s, granted if they're pushing albums it f***s with their profit. On the bright side, who would really want to download some garbage?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I said that it was too late for me to sign with a major label. Now I'm realizing that there's no real point in this day in age.

Band History:
Here's my history in a quick (mathematic) group review:

Your influences?

Let's just say that my influences consist of the golden age of Hip-Hop. Though it's a hot thing for most, "Crunk Music," "Bling Rap," and "Bubble Gum Rap" doesn't really do it for me.

Favorite spot?
Staten Island, NY AKA "SHAOLIN!!"
Anything else...?

Don't let your brain D3K4Y. Brush up on your Philosophy. After that, go learn some Fobanese to the last verb before you enter the A Club. If you hear K yell for you, it's then you'll be vibing with All Us, so Ak like you know.

This is where it went down
A lot of history in here
Thelma held the show, then Paul held the party
Rockwell handling his soundcheck
Now I think he's just enjoying himself
Soundcheck during "Mary Jane"
After the sound is done, it's just rehearsing
After the rehearsing is done, it's second nature
Rehearsing "West Side"

Helping with soundcheck
How it looks from our angle
Dope-ass overpass
Flashing .... Lights
Hanging out in the dressing room
pre-show meeting
Lorenzo gets it crackin'
Ladies eating it up
Rockwell amongst the crowd
Showtime!
