This young member of the DS Click aka., Damaga Squad, is moving up, no stopping him now until he reaches the top. The young'n got a flow that you can catch but no other can match. His sick flow had been felt from door to door, on school yards and the stage top floor. It's no looking down only up. No doctor can save medik, only himself because it's like a problem with no answer. He calls himself Medik 'cause his life is in his own hands. The streets gave him the nickname "Medik 4," because the flow packed nothing but metaphors. So you know and always know Street Team 4 Life Fam...crack spitter young Medik.

WESS CYTY
August tenth, 1988 was the date that something great arrived on the Westside of St. Louis...a new son by the name of Jared Collins, aka., "Wess Cyty." It was a new day for Mom, Brother and Grand Parents because a gifted rapper was born. They just didn't realize it at the time. It wasn't easy for them then and it's still a challenge today. With no father in the home, Mom and Grand Parents were his greatest source of inspiration to strive for a better way of life. Staying in school and keeping focus on his rapping became his passion. He has been rapping since about the age of eleven. Most of his time is spent upgrading his style. His favorite Rapper is Nas because he is the "Realist Rapper" and he is very deep. Wess Cyty can relate to him because he tries to keep it real with his flow. Success is his motivation because he can't see himself locked up or dead. He wants to make it because the path that he’s on right now is not the path that he chooses for he’s future. A new day, with a new way is still dawning in the life of Wess Cyty and its gonna be a blast! So, don't miss it because next time you see him, its going to be on TV.
