Have you performed in front of an audience?
At age 14, I started doing shows by myself anywhere I could(Talent Shows,Festivals,Concerts,Clubs,so on) eventually earning airtime on local radio stations. Around The same age,I hooked up with my man 23Th CHEMIST a.k.a IRK D NERV,GOD JAHAZ a.k.a BABY VEGAS and co-created MADD MILITIA. We rocked numerous venues(along with a full roster of Emcees/Beatsmiths from the "Miltia" that will be named later) from 1992-1999,opening for the likes of KRS-1,A Tribe called Quest,Too Short,Souls of Mischief,Das Efx,Outkast,etc.(all when these artist where "HOT" by the way). Taking a Hiatus from 2000 on, the focused was shifted on personal matters and expanding to other realms of the Business. Which brings us to now as we are poised to ambush a venue near you With Acts Such as RECON,LAST FAMLE aka FILTHY F.CKAZ,G.M.R(Getcha Money Right) and other MADD MILITIA Affiliates. Keep you eyes open and stay tuned.....! BUY Royal Illness',"Soundtrack to the War,vol.1 Here!action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"
