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 I’m feeling like I’m the last of a dying breed, that’s the way I’m going to go with a rhyme, “If I feel the urge to party that’s how that one will go.”
