History
I was rapping since I was in the 2nd grade. Back then I used to listen to Craig Mack, B.I.G, Busta Rhymes, and a little Geto Boys, because that was all I could hear in South Carolina. Then I heard Outkast in 1993 or 1994. When I heard them and saw how they had been pulling talent out of GA, I knew I was going to be doing this music for real.
In about 1996 my father bought me a keyboard and a karaoke machine so I could let family members hear me and develop skills in vocal and production. My production was real simple early on, with a lot of bass and no synths or key play. My lyrics always had a story behind them. If something happened on the streets or in my home, I would write about it. Still today my lyrics are from the heart. If Im feeling like Im the last of a dying breed, thats the way Im going to go with a rhyme, If I feel the urge to party thats how that one will go.
In the year 2000 drugs had had a hold of my hometown neighborhood Up Tha Track. All of my big brothers friends and classmates and my older cousins had dropped out of school and resorted to selling drugs, but we all know how long that lasts. The
people I had grown up with were in the streets so my parents stopped me from going places with them. I had my share of drug experiences too, from selling minor amounts to smoking weed, but I never let it get the best of me.
Things got real sick around March or April that year, when my cousin Tory got killed over some dope. At that point me and my cousins Eric and Mese knew rap was like the only legit way we knew for sure could keep us out of trouble. So, we started recording out of my closet and did an album calling ourselves TrackBoyz. We were on the radio numerous times promoting our record, but distribution never happened. We later changed the name because some producers had had the same name. Some how the
streets took a toll on my buddies. So I just did me, but I will always look out and they know that. In the summer of 2003 Eric got shot, but today hes still on the rap scene, featuring on my album as a matter of fact. I started working on my solo project that year and got some rappers (Strictly Bizness) from high school and a producer.
These days
These days Im still working with my Yamaha DJX and Zoom Rhythm Trak 234 and still put down serious tracks. Everyone I ever let hear and see my equipment always say man you did that track with that, thats serious. Or, man if you had a Triton or MPC youll be untouchable with production.
As of today, Ive produced or either collaborated with local artists on about 30 tracks down at NyCe Recording Studios in Florence, SC. Ive been promoting my underground album all summer, holding it down for the clique.
New Projects- My solo album -"Ready 2 Shine"Have you performed in front of an audience?Man I do shows where ever I can and how often I can mann. If you like what you hear, then book me.
