It all pretty much started in 2001 when I first jumped in a freestyle with a bunch of guys standing around. I surprised myself and everyone else around when I actually did it pretty decently. About 6 months after that, I started writing more and more. My senior year of high school, I found that a guy I had known for about 2 years but didn't really talk to all that much was actually in the hip hop business as a performer/writer/and producer. His name is "The Phantom" and you can check him at http://www.myspace.com/thephantom816. Until meeting him, I had produced numerous, bland sounding beats to accompany the rhymes. He upped my game by giving me something more powerful to write to, so I guess I have him to thank for "showing me the light," per se. Then, in 2004, I had a powerful revalation: my heart no longer rested in the rap game. Instead, it fell in love with a more powerful, pure and honest form called hip hop. Studying those of the likes of Mos Def, Common, Kweli, Kanye West and others, I found that theres more content to be touched on then just "blunts, 40's and bi***es." So that's where some of my writing influence lies, now. I've been trying to get my cd finished for about 3 years now. The biggest setback occuring in 2003 when my computer crashed and I lost all of my music info. So it was back to the drawing board, where the 3 songs you hear on my site were conceived.
