Q-Vole

Enemy 1, better known as Rick to close friends and family , was born and raised in the scorhing hot city of El Paso. Passing each day with more and more determination, the Texan believes that his music will have a great impact on his fans as well as Hip Hop. The 24 yr old wasn't always the social type guy. In his school years, Enemy1 was actually the quiet one of his peers. Talking very little and analyzing the scene, he would sit back and pay more attention to members of other territorie's movements rather than his own education. Stabbed at 14, jumped numerous times on the streets, and targeted a few times by the foe, Enemy1 got caught in a drastic web of violence at such an early age. As you would imagine, years passed and situations got worse. The only escape from such rough times for the artist during this period of time was discovered in music. At 15 he learned that poetry was a form of art that he liked very much and good enough to want to write almost each day. Soon, he realized that his work was reciteable with favorite rap songs. Already a father at 18, reality strikes the young thug and hits hard. Hard enough to make the mc decide that Hip Hop is the only way out of the struggle for a person like him. Not only is it a career to put all effort into , he believes it is his destiny. His passion. 2006 arrives and instead of extending a fist to somebodys face, Enemy1 would rather reach out for a handshake to a fan. The pain , agression , and potential of his masterpieces can be heard on any of the tracks off his 1st solo album entitled: Defined In My Rhymes. "Musics always been a way to escape the bullshit in my life. It has always been the remedy for the pain inside me. Whether its Old School Nirvana or Metallica that I'm feeling at the moment, I'll turn it up. When I feel like beating some ass and if Tupac, Eminem, Game or whoever is bumpin, afterwards its going to make me feel alot better . Bottomline, music will always be there for you no matter what"
