Born James Brooks on November 30th 1988 but the MC is known as So Realistic aka So Real aka So Reala from the F-TOWN aka Flagstaff, Arizona.....im one half of The Higher Learning crew with Producer/MC Optomystik from Eugene, Oregon.
Im currently workin on a new mixtape to drop early 2009 and my debut album titled "S.T.O.R.M." (Steadily Teachin' Opponents Real Music)
My goal is to change hip hop back to how it originated by stayin true to the music, being soulful an loving wat i do! regardless of how much money im making, because its not about the money its about the MUSIC an the LOVE OF THIS HIP HOP MUSIC! AND ITS UP TO US THE TRUE HIP HOP HEADS, TO SAVE THE MUSIC! Because its clear that BET, MTV, radio stations, promoters an lame ass DJ's are content on enslaving hip hop, an im gonna do everything in my power to set it free. period. IM ALL ABOUT TRUE, REAL HIP HOP AND GOOD MUSIC nowadays all this fake, industry, commercial bullshit is not hip hop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hip Hop is a culture in which we live, rap is wat we do! an im here to carry on tradition all day everyday!!!! So be on the look out for ya boy an SUPPORT HIP HOP IN ARIZONA AN ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!
