A RHYME IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE!
WANTED: HIP HOP
DEAD OR ALIVE......
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
All the elements of the culture wrapped into one being. Extremely versatile on the mic since 1982, Boogiman spent time in New York and L.A., Journeyed to Indianapolis and Chicago to do shows with D. J. Top Speed, the Insomniacs, Mudd Kids,DJ Indiana Jones, and Complex. Moved to So. Bend, IN and featured on stage and albums with Jae Ellis, DJ Strict 9, Paranorm, Million, NHN, Soul Purpose,Komain, NON-FICTION, CLIK-47, BORN HUSTLERS, AND MANY MORE MIDWEST ARTISTS. Boogieman formed a group Called Secret I.D. which was the first group to eliminate haters because they performed at made public appearances with their faces covered at all times. this group consisted of Homicide from NYC who once recorded with the infamous Teddy Riley, and D. J. AK-47 most heard of from CliK-47. Secret I.D. toured with the like of Das Efx, Black Moon, Coco Brovas (Smiff-n-Wesson), Conscious Daughters, etc... Boogieman is currently popping in and out of every Hip-Hop event across the country. Study the pictures carefully. You may have been blessed by him and not realized who it was. He is always hitting up underground and indie artists with strategic ideas to help them out, sometimes giving them names officially coronating new emcees into hip hop culture. (See Princess Lyric, Midwest Martyrs, any hip-hop monsters, and The 4horseman). BOOGIEMAN'S LATEST PROJECT RECORDED FOR KNOWSIDE RECORDS IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF RHYME AND REASON. IT DEMONSTRATES THE LYRICAL GENIUS IN THE MIDWEST'S MOST SKILLED EMCEE. HE COMBINES A DOWN HOME INDIANA FLAVOR WITH A WORLDWIDE FLAIR. IT OFFERS EAR CANDY FOR HIP HOP LOVERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THE TRACKS WHERE BOOGIEMAN FEATURES CHOSEN 1, & READY MADE WITH EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTION BY DJ ERIC STREET, DJ STRICT 9, AND THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES CO-PRODUCING BEATS HAVE BEEN MACKIN NIGHT CLUBS, MIXTAPES, AND AIRWAVES UNDERGROUND, ABOVE GROUND, ACROSS THE INTERNET, AND THE GLOBE AND SHOWS A DIFFERENT SIDE OF BOOGIEMAN. RATHER THAN RECORDING A SELFISH SOLO ALBUM, BOOGIEMAN'S MATURITY SHOWS HIS EMERGENCE AS A LEADER FOR SBI HIP-HOP, BRINGING ARTISTS TOGETHER FOR EVENTS, SETTING UP SPONSORSHIPS, MUSIC SUMMITS, AND LATELY A CHEERS NIGHT CLUB HIP HOP NIGHT FOR THE PAST YEAR. AS AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND MANAGER, BOOGIEMAN CATAPULTED AND INTRODUCE THE WORLD TO CHOSEN 1, READYMADE, LYRIC, 7STAR BATTLE, DJ ERIC STREET, AND MANY NEW ARTISTS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD NO EXPOSURE OR RELEASES PRIOR TO THE MIDWEST MARTYRS VOLUME I PROJECT. FANS WILL LOVE COLLABORATIONS WITH KOMAIN, SNUBB NOSE, PARANORM, JAE ELLIS AND OTHER MIDWESTERNERS. UNFORGETTABLE CUTS LIKE "DRAMA" WHERE READY MADE MEETS CHOSEN TO PUT FEAR IN ALL FRIENDLY COMPETITORS AND "LET'S DO THIS" WHERE BOOGIEMAN BLESSES HIS DRAFT PICKS WITH ANOTHER ONE OF HIS MOST WANTED VERSES ON A COLLABO TRACK WILL BE ONE OF THE ILLEST THREESOMES SINCE WESTSIDE CONNECTION. FULL OF HIT SINGLES THE MIDWEST MARTYRS ALBUM IS TURNING THE FANS OUT AND PROPELLING THE DEMAND FOR RETAIL READY PRODUCT MORE THAN EVER. KNOWSIDE RECORDS AND THE FAR BEYOND ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC IS THE MOST EXPLOSIVE UPCOMING INDEPENDENT RAP LABEL IN THE MIDWEST. BOOGIEMAN HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN COLLABOS WITH OTHER LABELS TOP ARTISTS IN EXCHANGE FOR FEES THAT HE HAS STACKED TO RAISE THE ANTE IN THE INDEPENDENT RAP GAME. HIS LONG-AWAITED & MOST ANTICIPATED SOLO ALBUM AND RECORD LABEL CATALOG CONTAINS BANGIN COMPILATIONS, COLLABOS, EP'S, AND SOLO ALBUMS THAT ARE COMPLETELY RECORDED AND MASTERED AND READY TO BE RELEASED NATIONALLY THROUGH 2006 AND 2007!(DISTRIBUTORS/LABELS ARE CALLING HIM NOW). THE ROSTER FEATURES OTHER STREET POPULAR ARTISTS READY MADE AND CHOSEN 1, WORLD FAMOUS DJ STRICT 9 & M.C. PARANORM FROM BEASTIE BOY FAME, AND BUDDIE STONE, MENTALITY, DJ ERIC STREET, MERCURY, RAZZY, CONCRETE TEARZ, JAE ELLIS, LYRIC, L.A., FATBOY, AND OTHER ARTIST STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE UNDERGROUND, THE LABEL'S ROSTER HAS CREATED A LARGE FAN BASE NOT ONLY FROM THE STREETS; BUT ALSO, COMMERCIALLY WORLDWIDE DUE TO COLLEGE RADIO PLAY, MIXSHOWS, AND MIXTAPES. THE TRACKS ARE NOT ALL FOR COMMERCIAL FLAVOR, BUT FOR THE STREETS AND HOODS ACROSS THE WORLD. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST PRIVATE THOUGHTS FROM THE ARTISTS. SO PUT THE WORD ON THE STREET, THAT THE FAR BEYOND FAM IS COMING WITH A MONSTER MOVEMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL MONSTER... BOOGIEMAN ALSO REFERRED TO AS YOUNG ND THE 4TH HORSEMAN
