MSK grew up with his mother and sister, and like every young hustler coming up from a life of set-backs and hard-times did all the things that stereotype us all.

From hustling on the streets of KC to unwanted run'ings with the law, this young and inspired Songwriter and MC felt that his goal and ambitions were too big to waste on the streets and felt that music was going to be his way from getting off of the streets and making a better life for his mom and little sister!

MSK's interest and passion for music has proven to be strong, that in 2005 he made a conscious decision to depart from the place he always called home, and see the bigger picture from the opposite angle of the world. He moved to Europe hoping to have taken himself out of the over-saturated U.S. hip hop feeding ground and put himself in the spotlight of a ever growing hip-hop society. This was definitely a strategy to get some necessary attention. And this has been a success thus-far!

His first encounter with Europe was in London where he did a show at a local hiphop club, and then move on to Germany where he lived for two months before eventually going to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Once in the Netherlands he was able to catch some attention around the Hilversum city area which is known as the "Media City of the Netherlands".

It was not long until he connected with Producer/Engineer Stone from StoneRich© studio through a mutual friend Reza, member of the hip-hop group UTC! After their first meet, they decided to re-connect on a later date. After their first studio session they realized that they were both a valuable asset to their goal to the top.

For the past six months MSK has been intensively busy in the studio crafting his skills and putting his life on paper. With a variety of different music styles and flavors he has pushed himself over the limit with the intension to be nothing less than an added value to hip-hop culture.
