Band History:
Since I'm writing this bio, I'm not gonna do it in the third person. That would be stupid. I began rhyming in '94 after being exposed to Illmatic. My first track was dropped to a Black Moon instrumental on a busted up dual cassette recorder in a basement in upstate NY. It was trash.

But my love for the art grew and I stuck with it. Over time I gained a little name around the county as that stupid f***in' whiteboy who rhymes and continued honing my craft. Shortly thereafter I was exposed to the hip-hop underground via the Stretch & Bobbito radio show. Emulating groups like Co Flow and The Juggaknots I pushed myself to be a lyrical monster. Dropping dope sh*** while exposing my intelligence at the same time. Long story short I hit a speedbump and wound up in jail, details not necessary.

Upon release I approached a different aspect of the music. Straightening myself out and getting into school I made up my mind to get the f*** out of this this one horse town. I went to college near Paterson, NJ for music journalism. Postponing my own musical career I became engrossed in the study of the art. I was determined to become a famous journalist for The Source or the now defunct Rap Pages and bring the underground to the mainstream and force the masses to accept it. Then the drinking started...

Needless to say I found myself back in Sullivan County, NY with a DWI under my belt and alot of bitterness inside. The year was now 2000 and I hooked up with Chester Greenthumb and Wasted Talent and formed The Pencil Pushers (Erased: Coming Soon). Refocused on my own career (but not putting the drink down), I wrote like a madman. Amidst various fast women, overly expensive drug experimentation and a million and one sheets of notebook paper I created quite a legacy under the moniker of Foulmouth.

In 2002 I released my first demo "Dirty Wordz 4 Filthy Mindz". I was in a phase where I replaced every s with a z at the time, I dunno. Anywayz, in 2005 I released my first full length LP "Mental Gingivitis". Self produced and recorded it was a rough around the edges (self-proclaimed) masterpiece. In 2007 I joined Bad Karma Entertainment (R.I.P.) and completed my first studio recorded release "Mental Floss". In between those I worked on various side projects, collabos and unreleased material soon to be gathered and released in one definitive collection.

In 2008 I find myself a family man who managed to put the drink down and pick up a pencil. Currently booking shows and slowly building my empire we shall see what the future holds...
