Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Began writing raps after hearing the song "checkin me out" by Def Squad in 1998. Wasn't serious about it. First started recording in 2001 with my cousin L Tactics. We had a group called "The Gannix". I started producing beats then when a friend named Steve showed me how to use fruity loops and cool edit.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've done a few shows, looking to do more.
