Hip Hop junky flipping sounds into funky tapestries to create a soundtrack of my life. Putting; sometimes introspective, sometimes comedic, sometimes cerebral but always real lyrics on top of those beats for your delight.
Band/artist history
When "Fresh Is The Word" by Mantronix came out I wanted to make my own beats. I started playing around with tape loops on my boombox back when I was 13 years of age. I continued to rhyme over instrumentals 'cause I didn't have the money to buy a drum machine. As time went on, I learned to play around with tape loops and over dub stuff on top with a cheap dj mixer, then put my vocals on top. Still at this time I was battling anyone that could rap in my middle school before rhyming off the head was called freestyle. Time went on, I learned more about recording and saved money to get myself a four track, a cheap Gemini dj sampler. More time went on and I started buying drum machines, effects, sequencers and more gear. Now fast foward to the present, here I am still making tracks, still expresing myself via beats and lyrics.
