Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
"I started rapping at the age of 12, trying to find a unique sound and my own style. I'm a member of the rap group Inner City Hoodlumz with members Sliik D, Sekret, Getty Green, and J Bans(Lil Seville)". I.C.H started in 1991 and released a underground demo around their neighborhood in '92 entitled "Street Playaz" and then released a full lenth cd in 2001 entitled "Real Dirty", which you can find on www.cdbaby.com/ichood. "I released my first solo debut to the public in March '05, entitled "Mr. Mercenary Smooth One"".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
"I love to get on stage and twist up the house". One special moment I had is when I put my video on the internet and actually got some good reviews.
