Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started rhyming in 1993 at Audubon Junior High School. Didn't start recording until 2000 with a local crew called Mid-Cities Finiest. Moved on from there to the First Class Playaz and now I represent Pocket Money Recordz as a solo artist.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love to play live when ever I get a chance. I've done some locoal spots like BeBe Kings, The Palmer room, and Mixed Nuts Comedy Club. I loved the vibe at Bebe Kings place, I did a joint call She's so sexy and all of the women loved it.
