About Me

yO!! My real name is Mark...or Tony...depending on how you know me, and I'm an MC with nOBLE sAVAGE & ROGERS & CLARK from Chicago. nOBLE sAVAGE consists of mR. dOOLEY Noted, dEE jAY sMUT, and myself, cLEVER oNE...for now. ROGERS & CLARK is a group we started with FLIPSTYLE, an MC/Producer out of Manchester, New Hampshire. Before nOBLE sAVAGE, I was in a group called Macrobiotix with DanK. & my guy Levinsky from high school. I'm definitely feelin' the Noble Savage sound more, it's more my style. The tracks on here are a mix of nOBLE sAVAGE & ROGERS & CLARK tracks.To check out some more nOBLE sAVAGE, go to http://www.myspace.com/noblesavagery.To check out some more ROGERS & CLARK, go to http://www.myspace.com/rogersandclark.I love music, especially hip hop, and basically I am sick of the bullshit all over the airwaves these days. The music I try and make is influenced by artists who have lyrically and musically not only created a movement, but keep it going and striving today. Hip hop will never be where it was ten or even fifteen years ago, but it's that music that inspires me to create and keep doing what I'm doing. Whether it's witty, clever, battle rhymes, which exaggerate power and skill, or lyrics with a strong message about religion, politics, or life in general, my music comes from my soul and always will. Hopefully you all enjoy it, and if you don't well then I guess it's not for you.Peace.
