Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.....!
