THEE INSTANT CLASSIC!!!

About Me

I have been writing, rapping and producing for over 16 years now. I got motivated to pursue music back in 1990 with a bunch of friends who I was introduced to through a good friend of mine at the time that I had met at my first job after graduating high school. We all were coincidentally into the same type of music...which is pretty much everything. They already had a group that had been recording for years and his brothers were artists as well. We were all and still are all innovative, and they liked the style and flavor that I brought to the table....maybe not at first but, the more I hung around, the more my skills and ideas improved and I was brought into the fold. There are over 16 years of songs/collaborations that we have completed together over the years, most which are on cassette tape (Just to let you know how far we go back and how determined we were to create our music). That group over the years became known as The OUTFIT. Which by the way, is STILL one of if not THE greatest hip-hop groups in the world. Even without being signed to a corporate label, we on a whole other level above what is being heard even to this day. We have material from literally 10 years ago that cats right now can't compete with, and that's a fact. Right now, some of us are still recording, and then others have focused on family, working a 9 to 5, or like myself balancing both. Oh...and the good friend I mentioned I had met at my first job out if high school, is now CEO of a popular web site that the world gets their hip-hop news from. For his privacy I will refrain from mentioning the site or his name because he's a Grouchy dude. I am currently working on my solo album (untitled as of this minute), and working with my younger brother and our cousin on their group album...The BlueBloods, which consist of aliases The High Chief and Franky Friday. As we choose which songs we want to use, they will be posted for you to listen to and rate them if you wish. I'll keep you posted. Be on the lookout cause the rap unemployment rate is about to go through the roof for alot of yall. Ha-ha!!! Don't say I didnt warn ya.

Only Thee Icon could come up with this image along with quoted philosophy.

Fear leads to Anger...Anger leads to Hate...Hate leads to Suffering.
