I am one man with one mission and one vision. Music is life but Hip Hop is me. I am one more soldier in the fight to bring back real down to earth, thought provoking Hip Hop.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Been in the game for over 10 years. I've mostly done freestyle sessions, rap battles, and a few bootleg mixtape tracks. Im currently wrapping up my groups album and then getting started on a debut album. So be on the look out for more music from me and my group Sworn Enemys
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I only have a few mixtape tracks so I dont have much to perform right now. I've done one show in Colorado Springs and plan on doing alot more soon. Once I have a decent amount of tracks I will perform wherever people are willing to listen. Until then I get my name out by sparking freestyle sessions on the streets, in clubs, bars, ect. and entering the occasional rap battle.

What equipment do you use?
Normally work outta pro tools. I dont own any equipment though so I always gotta use a homies shit to record and that gets a lil tricky sometimes cuz some cats be bullshitting.
Anything else?
Hope you enjoy and feel free to drop me a line from time to time
