Born in Queens NY but raised in Washington DC, I expanded my musical ear while in high school; tenth grade to be exact. I began playing instruments such as the piano, electric/bass/acoustic guitar, and the drums but did not find myself as satisfied. Then I thought to myself,
What part of music makes me happy?
Then I remembered when I bought my first music cassette. It was the Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz debut album. I would recited every song verbatim every time I played their tape. I did the same for every album following; even when I finally made the switch to compact discs finally. Then the day came when I decided to write my own lyrics instead of reciting someone else's material. It was about a page and a half long (not sure how many bars) and was very basic. It was the story of my first days in high school as a senior (If I can find it, I'll type it up and post it on here as a blog). After getting so much positive feedback from all of my friends and family members, I knew that this is what I needed to do.
I started out writing gospel rap lyrics and was a part of a Christian rap group called Christ Soldiers at the church that I used to attend. The group had a good run and lasted for about a year or two and we toured different churches delivering our musical ministry. The group, unfortunately, came to end because it was hard for people to accept rapping inside of a churchs doors. However, this did not stop my lyrical drive.
