Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started rapping in the 6th grade back in '01. I wrote a battle rap towards this kid who wanted to cap. The flow was wack but he didn't know how to flow back. After that I got the whole school into rapping. Me and my friends had a tape recorder and made our first mixtape. The Apocalypse, we produced it oursleves with bad beatbox beats and wack lyrics. By 8th grade most of the school stopped rapping,but I was still at it. In the 9th I hooked up with a few kids,we were on Goldmic.com for the longest. Lookup my profile on there,Leo9. Sophomore year I performed at my school. We were using cooledit to make songs and CD's. We had people playing our songs on their iPods. Recently we picked up Fruity Loops. Help us out, check us out.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've played live twice in my life. Once at my school and another time at a church. I loved it at school cuz we had the freedom to move and say what we wanted. I didn't have such a good time at the church cuz even my cleanest song was thrown out. We got crunk at my school so I guess that was special.
