DIRTY STEEL-SOUTHERN COALITION
THIS IS THE ENTIRE ALBUM. ALSO POSTED WAS 3 OLD JOINTS FROM MY FIRST DEMO/ALBUM. I TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. SO WHEN LISTENING TO THE SONGS, IF YOU COME TO ONE THAT YOU DONT FEEL, LISTEN TO THEM ALL CAUSE I TRY TO SHOW VERSATILITY, STYLE, WHILE STILL TRYING TO COME ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT IN A WORLD FULL OF CLONES AND DRONES.

THE ALBUM IS CALLED SOUTHERN COALITION WHICH CONSISTS OF:
DIRTY STEEL  ARTIST
IZZY BIZZY  ARTIST
SOUL 9  ARTIST
CELL E CELL  ARTIST
pimp NOD  ARTIST
R O B  MUSICIAN/ARTIST
QUICK MIXXX  PRODUCER

THIS IS MY SOLO ALBUM, SHOWCASING MY CREW SOUTHERN COALITION. 
EACH SONG IS A COALITION OF ALL OUR EFFORTS. THIS OF COURSE IS A DEMO ALBUM AND IN NO WAY GRADE A MATERIAL BUT I LIKE MY PRODUCTS ESSENCE. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THATS WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
LISTEN AND ENJOY, JUST KNOW AND TRY TO PEEP WHAT I WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH NOT JUST WITH MY MUSIC BUT TRYING TO BLOW UP MY CREW, CITY, AND STATE ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

HOPE YOU ENJOY.

Band/artist history

BEEN FLIPPIN FLOWS SINCE I WAS 15. LISTENING TO HIP HOP SINCE AGE 10. 

"CAUSE THAT KINDA OF LOVE, IT NEVER FADES." DIRTY STEEL/GET ME

I STARTED WRITING YOUNG, BUT DISCOVERED FREEYSTYLING IN HIGH SCHOOL. BATTLE RAPPING BUT LOVE AT THE SAME TIME TYPE ISHT. I OF COURSE HAD A NEMESIS OF SORTS, ANDREA TYLOR. ONE OF THE BEST AT THAT TIME. GETTING SPIRITUALLY MINDED AND ENLIGHTENED WITH MY DAWG, ERIC MILLER AKA KOOL KING E, BUT COULDNT TELL IF MY MAN WAS MUSLIM, 5 % OR JUST ON SOME NEXT LEVEL TYPE OF STUFF. AND LISTENING TO TAPED RECORDINGS OF BATTLE SESSIONS AND FREESTYLING(USUALLY WHAT STARTS OFF BEFORE THE BATTLE RAPPING CRANKS IN) WHO WAS RECORDED AND PROMOTED BY GERMAIN RAINES AKA G RAINES. ONE GUY STARTS A FREESTYLE OVER A DUDE BEATBOXING, THEN ANOTHER STEPS UP TO FRONT OR BUST FIRST DUDE OUT FOR SOMETHING AND IF YOU WANT TO FREESTYLE IN THE CROWD WITH ANY PULL LATER YOU GOTTA COME BACK AND ATTEMPT TO BUST HIS FLOW TO PIECES. SO FREEYSTYLING IS IN MY BONES.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL MY RHYMES BEGAN TO MATURE BUT STILL HAD IMMATURE WAYS SO TO SPEAK. MEET HOME BOY FROM HIGH SCHOOL, COREY THOMAS AKA  SMOOV, AND STARTED MAKING LYRICS OUT OF FREEYSTYLES THAT WAS FORMED FROM BUDDHA SMOKE AND SMOKE SESSIONS. BUT THIS ALLOWED ME TO THINK QUICK AND STILL MAKE MY RHYMES UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL FROM THE NEXT DUDE IN THE CYPHER. FLIPPING OVER INSTRUMENTALS, USUALLY TRIED TO GET TIGHT BEATS THAT WAS EITHER SO USED IT WOULDNT MATTER IF WE WAS SPITTIN OVER THEM CAUSE IT WOULD BE LIKE WE WAS DOING MIXTAPE STUFF OR BEATS THAT WAS HARDLY HEARD OF AND SOME FROM THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES. LIKE ONCE WE FOUND A BEAT FROM LIKE BILLY JOEL. IT WAS A GOOD LITTLE BEAT WITH SOME PIANO AND A MELODY THAT WAS COOL. WE TORE THAT ISHT UP, KID. LOL. 
WE MEET UP WITH QUICK MIXXX AND KLIQUE AKA SLANGIN HITZ/CROSSTOWN THREW A HOME BOY OF MINE, SHAUN NYGUEN. ME AND SMOOV HAD A GROUP HE THOUGHT UP CALLED PHUNKLAN AND WE WAS GOING TO BE BUDDHAHEADS BUT THEY WOULD BE ANOTHER GROUP ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT WHICH AT THE TIME CONSISTED OF 2 MAIN DUDES, NAMES ARE FOGGY DUE TO BEING BUDDHAHEADS AND THEM STILL IN NAME TRANSITION. ANOTHER MEMBER WAS SMOOVs LITTLE BRO, A COOL ASS CAT, RIP, AND ANOTHER CAT WHO ENDED UP TURNING TO GOSPEL SINGING AND WAS NEVER HEARD OF AGAIN. SO OUR GROUP, REALLY JUST ME AND SMOOV AKA PHUNKLAN, STARTED SLANGIN HITZ. NOW I COULD GO INTO THE LONG DRAMATIC STORY OR JUST SAY ME AND SMOOV CAUGHT A COUPLE OF CHARGES AND WITH SMOOV WITH A PRIOR, THIS CAUSED SMOOV TO BE...DETAINED FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER I HANDLED MY TIME AND P.O. PAYMENTS, I STARTED SMOKING AND FLOWING. BUMPED INTO QUICK FROM SLANGIN HITZ, AND STARTED RECORDING AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS RECORDING SOLO. AFTER SMOOVs HANDLED HIS SITUATION I THINK HE CAUGHT FEELINGS OF ME RECORDING SOLO SO OUR CONNECTION SLOWLY UNHOOKED. SO SOLO IS WHERE I STARTED HEADING.
I PERFORMED IN PLACES, ME AND SMOOV HAD A FEW PERFORMANCES WITH OUR FIRST WAS F'd UP AND THE WORST IT COULD HAVE BEEN. DEF HUMBLING, BUT WILL NEVER FORGET IT SO I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT COULD BE WORSE. AS A SOLO ARTIST I PERFORMED IN SOME CLUBS AND SOME SHOWCASES. BUT THE ONES I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IS THE DOUGLAS IN MACON. OTIS REDDING, JAMES BROWN AND EVEN LITTLE RICHARD AMONGST OTHERS WHO PERFORMED THERE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. WILL ALWAYS HOLD THAT ONE CLOSE, EVEN IF IT WASNT NOTHING BUT A COLLECTION OF TALENT SHOWCASES WITH SOME LABELS THERE FOR SCOUTING SO SPEAK. ALSO PERFORMING AT THE MACON COLISEUM NOW THE CENTERPLEX. THEY CAN GET WAY MORE PEOPLE IN THAT PLACE AND WE OPENED UP FOR A TALENT SHOW SLASH DANCE PERFORMANCE DONE BY A GROUP HEADLINED FOR BEING THERE. BUT SOMEWHERE IN ALL THAT WE MEET UP WITH DIFFERENT ARTIST AND FORMED A SOUTHERN COALITION. CAUSE WE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER HERE IN THE DIRTY.
