About Me

...What’s up, folks? My name is Leo Fairbanks, but a lot of people call me Doc. When I’m not working or drinking too much, I make rap music. I wrote my first rhyme in ’97 or ’98 and I’ve been trying to get good at it ever since. I’ve been told that I’m getting closer, but as far as I’m concerned, I got a pretty long way to go before any of it sounds the way I hear it in my brain. Nonetheless, I hope you like it, and the more feedback I receive from you all, the harder I want to work to take this thing somewhere.
...I’ve been on stage with some pretty cool folks like Blackalicious, Zion-I, Defari, DJ Babu, Pep Love, 2Mex, AWOL One, Sleep, Matre, Psyche Origami, Diverge & Ethix, Sentence, Input, Izum, Phunny Pharm, Black Pegasus, Improv, Hoodlums N’ Havoc, The Few, and a whole lot of others who I don’t have the space to list here. Performing live is one of my favorite things about being a musician, and I try to do as many shows as I possibly can.
...I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of other artists including Richie Griffin, Sleep (Oldominion), DZK, Joe Fury, Diverge & Ethix, The Clurk, ES-K (Hypothesis Productions), Critical Theory, NV Nite Vision, Skimp Killah, Three Shots, EMS The Gawd, Illmatic The Cracka, The Scholars, Axinsane, Dj Magic Cee, Dj Home, Stan Blade, Genesee York, DevilZHard, Ill Treats, DJ Vader, Diverge, Da Wiz (Ebmar Productions), Sick Sense, Skin Walker, Solenoid. Jac Da Rippa, D-Fonic, Jibah, Dirt Nap, Bodge Daemon, B-Rex, Dirty Harry, The Secondary, Versify, Mothers on Acid, Sonic Messiah, Phunny Pharm, Robb Hott, VS Dot, Random, Improv, Ulliversal, G1, Mike Eye (BrainStormedWeather), Street Thief Productions, No Gimiks, Mike Bontempi, Doctor Cause, Surrill, Eye-Cue, Mumblez, Sine Language (Hypothesis Productions), Chidomo, and a whole host of others. Collaborating with other artists is always a pleasure, and these are ones who are far more than worthwhile to check out.
...Speaking of working with other musicians, I’m also in a few crews. I’m in a crew called Versify with Ulliversal, a crew called The Secondary with Diverge, The Clurk, and DJ Vader, and a project with Skimp Killah entitled Cult Kool-Aid. Versify released its debut album in July 2006 and an album with The Secondary is under construction. If that weren’t enough, I’m also working on a solo album and a follow up to the first Versify record. Got to try to stay busy, right?
...Well, that’s about all for me, but I would like to give a quick thanks to New Ground Collabo and all of its artists with a very special thanks to G1, a thank you to Ulliversal and all of the members of The Secondary, as well as a huge thanks to anyone who’s been nice enough to work with me or show some respect. Let’s put heart and soul into everything we do.
Peace
Doc

yeah, so I'm a pretty fucking lame dude.

I'm not cool, and I have some serious fucking atoning to do with a close friend. I'm sorry. I don't deserve to have as good of friends as the ones I've been fortunate enough to have. It's all love....
