This is Ves 120. Hip Hop purist
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I learned how to spin from my brother in the late 80s. Between 92-94 I started toying around with production with a Casio keyboard, Boss Dr500, and Tascam 4 track tape recorder. By 97 I was able to by a real workstation and make quality material. Now I hand everything from beats, rhymes, cuts, recording and mixing.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
On occasion.
