I fell in love with hip hop when I heard A Tribe Called Quest, "The Low End Theory", and I started wanting to do music when I heard Redman on the EPMD song, "Head Bangaz"
I performed on a lot of small stages, and one pretty big one. They were all special to me.
See what I wrote in history. Tribe and Redman. I grew up in Queens NYC in the 80's and 90's.
I use FL Studio to record and create stuff formally, but really I sue what I have. Sometimes I make beats on my phone, sometimes I use different programs, sometimes I use samples, sometimes I play and make everything.
