Better known as Intellect, 1/2 of the Hip Hop duo Manifest Destiny, I've been on the scene since 2000 when we dropped our first EP "A lot Like No One." We followed up the EP with a full length album "Hunger Pains" which dropped in 2002. U can catch "Hunger Pains" @ I-tunes for download or go to md222.com to purchase both cd's. You know shameless promotion is a necessity nowadays. Anyway, I have been all over the world performing and opening for bigger acts such as Mobb Deep, Naughty By Nature, NORE, and a host of others. I've been on tour in London, on the block in Croatia, and have performed in the motherland Puerto Rico at Senor Frogs. I've also performed at numerous national venues like the Warp Tour, madd spots in NYC, DC, Chicago, and of course New Jerz. Basically I've been rhymin since I busted my first nut. After a much needed though not desired hiatus, I am now working on my first solo project "Ceize Da World." "It's Ceize when its just me droppin shit like nintendo..." Intellect and Ceize are two different beasts, so don't expect Ceize to always sound like Intellect. Intellect was an attempt to better myself. Intellect thinks he can make a positive change in the hood and da world in general. Ceize just knows shit is fucked up.Intellect is full of ideas and solutions; Ceize just figures do whatever makes you happy before the Grimm Reaper come and slit yo shit. Intellect beleives you don't have to be a product of your environment; Ceize wound up bein a product of his environment somewhat. Intellect despised the commercialization of Hip Hop; Ceize just accepts that it exists and will forever. Intellect hated a lot of what is wrong with Hip Hop; Ceize thinks hatin takes too much energy. So for now Ceize is here, and he don't give a fuck what you do. If it makes you happy...Do It! So to all da hatas out there...keep on hatin. To all those commercial emcees out there... keep making them pop joints. To all dem hustlin mothaphuckas... keep on hustlin, and to all dem gangstas...keep on thuggin! Finally to all those emcees that just do it for the love and gonna be rhymin til its their time to go...never stop doing ya'll thing. We are what Hip Hop embodies. If you feeling my shit good lookin on the support, and if you hatin my shit, don't listen and keep on hatin. We all got opinions. Make Yours. Peace
