Band/artist history
Since I was born I was a creative soul. I had a knack for music, drawing, poetry, and anything artistic. At the age of 10 I fell in love with hip-hop, picked up a mic, and it all began from there. Growing up in a racially tense country town, I have many stories to tell through my music and invite listeners and fans to step in my shoes for a bit and feel my vibe.
Your musical influences
My influences growing up were Big Daddy Kane, Main Source, Brand Nubian, Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Beastie Boys just to name a few. I am also influenced by ANY type of music if it has a good vibe and is real. When I create my music I take influences from all genres and the end product turns out to be something different and more unique than what you would normally hear in today's music.
What equipment do you use?
Akai MPC2000XL, Roland XV-88 Keyboard, Ensoniq EPS 16+, ProTools Digi 002, Garage Band, Power Mac G5, Neumann TLM-103 Studio Microphone, Pair of 1210 Technics turntables
Anything else?

Hey Bro,
Too bad my player ain't workin, can't listen to people's music for now, but kindly listen to our latest, any comment is welcomw, thanks, the markdanyells
I like this song 2 but i disagree with some of your lyrics - people on tha street with no job - must have some kind of faith in God 2 or they wouldn't still be livin! people commit suicide when they loose all of their faith! who knows maybe those peoples faith iz even stronger than most.
i gotta give you credit 4 being tru 2 yourself in your lyrics.
you have no shame about being positive and direct -n- not tryin 2 come off hard - but that's wut makes your sh*** real!
so sincere - so humble - i'm sure yo mama is proud of you! mom's hardly ever get props on songs- this song actually gave me chills b-cuz you did it so sincerely!

I hear ya...but you gotta finish listening to all the lyrics. It's deep. I'm not generalizing but I'm talking about particular people that fall into this category as they progress from positive to negative...they lose their job, things aren't goin well, etc...then they lose faith in God, give up, and then go to the dark side of corruption and don't give a damn anymore. Just speaking to them on this particular lyric that I pray for them as well so that they may change their ways and keep their heads up. Check it: 'Here's to the people on the streets with no job, no love, no faith in no god, gotta kill, gotta steal, and go rob, gotta slang dope, yo I'm broke, it's no prob' Thanks for your support, for listening, and for the comments. It means the world to me and I really appreciate it! Keep on! Peace, Man-iLLa
