AMANZMIND has been into hip-hop since before he could walk, but has been doin music since '91. That's right the golden time frame of true hip-hop. So you know that what you will hear from this cat is nothing but authentic, straight from the heart hip-hop you can feel...
Band/artist history
I started out over instrumentals, as we've learned the majority of hip-hop artists do. But it's been about twelve years now. I went from two turntables just mixin down instro's for something to rhyme over to makin and producin my own songs. I've came a long way since then, but I always like to think back to the days of middleschool beat boxin in the hallways and havin freestyle sessions with my boys. I did a couple of shows as a kid at some Recreation Centers in England and just took it from there. It all started kind of fast and just stuck with me. I've been doin it ever since.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've done shows before, when I was just starting out, and the main thing I remember is people in the crowd getting involved in the songs... They were really feelin it..
Your musical influences
Yo, first and foremost I definately gotta give it to Mobb Deep. Everyone who knows me knows exactly what I mean when I say that. But to say nothing less about the rest. I listen to Nas, B.I.G., M.O.P., LoX, Wu, Def Squad, Sermon, Jedi Mind, Reks, Slang politix, and the list goes on. There are a lot of cats out there that I don't mind listening to, but then there are those that shouldn't be where they're at... not hatin', just speakin the truth.
