Shouts to REAL Hiphop!!!!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started rhyming back in my freshman year of highschool when some kids were cipherin in the halls and they called me out when I was walking by. I started DJing in 2000 and started B-Boying in 1999. I have been around Hiphop all of my life though...my bro used to DJ and MC. My main thing is to expand Hiphop Kulture. No one can do it alone, therefore, I am trying to do my part.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I mostly rip at open mics in my locale. I have done various talent shows and battles as well. I mostly have emceed for local DJ's and turntablists. Hiphop is slow in this small ass place that I live, but me and my peoples are striving to expand the Kulture as well as the minds.
Show some love and love is then returned...
Be on the look out for the album!!!
