THANKS FOR SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT ARTISTS....BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU THERE WOULD BE NO ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I started rapping when i was eigth years old. At first it was me and my younger brother Vinne Bo aka Triple O in a group together. My older brother L.A. aka Larry Wayne was in his own group. They were the BC Rockers so we became the BC Rockers. They were the BC Rockers because the apartments that we were staying in at that time were named Briar Cliff (Kiest & Polk area). We were called the BC Rockers because of the street we had just moved from called Bluecreek(Lancaster & Ledbetter area). Our group picked up another member, Ramon McDonald, one of our old school partners that had moved to Legendary, which were the apartments across the street from ours. In my brothers group was Van,The T.R.A aka The Incredible Tray, Roy Hargrove aka Honey Bun, Marcus Small as Kool Aid. My brother went by Baby Boy and BoBo at that time. Yes, I did also say Roy Hargrove the World famous Jazz musician. As a matter of fact that's when I got the name Bear. An old school partner named Johnny Abney named me that because he said that I looked like a bear. I didn't like the name at first but it stuck. When I really hit the studio for the first time was in the Under World. By that time we were living in the VG's,Village Green that is (Illinois & Cockrell Hill area). My brother was in a new goup that had a drum machine, my Dad bought us a keyboard, & I got a 4 track real to real from my grandmother who had gotten it from her employers. It was a done deal. My brothers group didn't have a name they just went by the UnderWorld. The slogan was "254 ft deep in the Underworld." That came about because the door number was 254 in The Way apartments where we recorded, until it later moved to Canterbury.Around that time I was upgraded from being the Bear to being Bexar Street Pimp thanks to old school partners Killa J & Rolo. The members of the group at that time were my brother L.A.,Stebo aka Malichi the Executioner, Pete aka EncycloPete, AJ aka AJ the Enforcer, and Lyrical D aka The Lyrical One. Me and my younger brother were featured on alot af songs, as were most of the hood. The last and final group for me was Black Soul & the Soul Army. It was too many to name about 13 cats. Me and both my brothers were in it. The fourth brother was just a pup and couldn't be involved. We were supposed to make it then but when we completed the album everything dissolved, but thats another story. As you can see, I was in several groups before I discovered that the best path for me would be as a solo artist. Reason being, my ideas and my thoughts aren't like any one elses and in groups it's majority rule; so i would always be out voted. So me and my younger brother moved out the house at a young age to Waweenoc & Frio (Glenn Dale park area). That's when I became Polar Bear. To make a long story short, that's how i got to where i am today. Nobody gave me nothing except advice, some good some bad. I climbed to the top one cd at a time working twelve states. I dropped my first maxi-single (cassette) in 1994. Which was the same year i started my record label and invested in some studio equipment. Some of which i still have and use today. I was just an ambitious young pup then but i had heart. My motto became "Don't break, don't bend, don't fold." I got made fun of, mocked, rejected, and alot a doors slammed in my face. I kept doing it and dropped my first full length cd " Naked Truth" in 1998. The lil blue cd, yep, the one that put me on the map!!! By that time i had a bad street team and had opened a retail store that sold cd's at Big T Bazaar in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas. I hired two promoters Al" tha Bandit" Hudson and Jerome "Dj Solo" Bell to help me on the club scene. Solo had Annie Maes and Tha Bandit had Tiffanies. I followed the success of that release by the first group I put out on my label D.A.D and a compilation cd called Texas Connection. I then dropped the "Real World" underground cd after that . During that process i sought to expand and to clear my mind of personal strife by taking it on the road. Which was a good thing because i got rich in experience but the timing wasn't right. I stayed gone about a year spending most of that time in Georgia.I didn't rich but i got famous. Now i can say that there's nothing worse than to have fame but not the money to go along with it. Like alot of artist I should have been big and rich but in my personal life i made alot of stupid mistakes which caused set backs and cost overruns. Now after not putting out an album in 5 years, I'm fully focused with new product, i got my own studio, and i produced most of the tracks.
