Definition: Versifyer - A writer who composes verses or rhymes. Versifyer (Jerry B. Hall II) was born in Kansas City Missouri in 1988. Raised in a small metro town he quickly learned that he did not “fit in”. Bullied, teased and humiliated, he decided to stick his thoughts to paper and let them out that way...after all, paper doesn't judge. Thoughts turned to poems, poems to songs, songs to rap...this was the beginning of the revolution. Versifyer started pouring everything about himself into a genre he knew nothing of. Raised on rock n' roll he was out-casted by even certain family members and friends. “Changed Ways” was written by Versifyer in 2002, and released in 2003 featuring vocals by himself and S.4.C, and mentoring from Lyrycyst. The track was underdeveloped and raw, however it showcased a premature talent, and an astounding heart. 500 copies were distributed before the track was rerecorded and remastered in 2005. Along the way were tracks such as “My Genesis”, “Destiny”, “Refocused”, “Ready or Not” and many others. Soon word escalated of the artist and he was enveloped in the underground scene of Kansas City, where pressure and pain turned him against the industry. Years later this one of a kind artist is a true poet and an awe striking musician, well known for his flawless complex rhyme scheme, and tongue twisting speed rap. He boldly declares his beliefs and passions through his music, lifting up and also offending many listeners, with one purpose: to rebuild the industry the way it was meant to be built, with diversity and love! Versifyer has worked with artists such as: Lyrycyst, M1ssundastood, Lyrikal Assassin, S.4.C, Camouflage, DJ Ryan Goode and Mythykah. And shared the stage with many more such as: The Body and the Blood, Top Spin and Die to Yourself. Versifyer is also the award winner of "best rapper in the state" in a compitition held by AOG.

When I started rapping people from the past started pretending to want to be around me. But I still didn’t fit inI was a white kid in a black worldI stood out. In 2003 I was blessed to meet Steven Cooper AKA Lyrycyst (iamstevencooper.com) and I realized through him that instead of trying to fit in I should be different. With that realization my music escalated rapidly. My personality was coming through my music and I was making a statementbringing a new light into the industry. When I fell away from that light my music changedit got to be the same as everyone else’sI stopped rapping. I dropped y pen if you will. Now with a new and fresh motivation I am driven to show more than what you have seen from me before. The new material I am working on is so much more inspired that the stuff I used to offer. I am held back by my lack of funds and airtime. I am convinced however that the time is coming when I can explode in the industry.
