About Me

A HIP-HOP GOLDEN ERA REPRESENTATIVE. I AM AN EMCEE. THAT'S IT. I AM INTERESTED IN THE PRESERVATION OF HIP-HOP. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY I WILL REMAIN ON THE FRONTLINE OF THIS WAR TO KEEP MY CULTURE PURE. I LOVE HATERS. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME FOCUSED! WITHOUT YOU, THERE IS NO ME. I HAVE BEEN RHYMING FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I AM A COLLECTION OF ALL EMCEES WHO HAVE COME BEFORE ME. YOU COULD SAY, I AM WHERE HIP HOP WOULD/SHOULD BE IF CORPORATIONS HADN'T TAKEN IT OVER. WELL, I'M HERE TO TAKE IT BACK! MUSIC IS THE NEW COTTON.....JUST CALL ME HARRIET TUBMAN BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO LEAD MY PEOPLE TO FREEDOM! HIP-HOP WAS OUR CULTURE TO BEGIN WITH - AND THAT IS WHERE IT WILL REMAIN.....WITH THAT BEING SAID, I AM WILLING TO WORK WITH ANY AND EVERYONE THAT HAS THE SAME GOAL IN MIND FOR THIS THING I CALL HIP-HOP. SO IF YOU'RE AN EMCEE AND WANNA COLLAB ON SOME BACK IN THE DAY ISH WHEN HIP-HOP WAS FREE - GET AT ME....PRODUCERS WITH HOT TRACKS THAT YOU NEED LACED CORRECTLY - GET AT ME. LABELS LOOKING FOR AN ARTIST THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE GROOMED FOR A YEAR JUST TO GET THEIR HEADS ON STRAIGHT - GET AT ME. CLUB PROMOTERS LOOKING FOR AN ARTIST THAT KNOWS HOW TO PUT ON AN ACTUAL SHOW - GET AT ME. AND IF YOU'RE JUST DIGGIN MY STYLE....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, BEFORE WE SPEAK. BE EASY. KANDI COLE...
