About Me

THE INSTRUMENTALS YOU CAN CHECK OUT IN THIS PAGE WERE SET AT LOW AUDIO QUALITY IN ORDER TO PROTECT MY WORK, ANYWAY I THINK YOU CAN STILL APPRECIATE THEM ! ! ! PLEASE SIGN THE GUEST BOOK ! ! !In the year 1994 I met hip-hop music and I fell in love: the same year I started to write rap songs and to collect as many knowledge as I could about the double H world, but it was not so easy to get music, news and to meet hip-hop junkies because we did not have the NET and Italy was a third-world country in the hip-hop field. Three years later I was a member of FPZ crew in Treviso (Italy) and we made our first appearances as a hip-hop teenage group in the undergrond scene of my area. In the same period I started to develop my interest in sampling, sequenzing and digital sound manipulation and I improve my knowledge of black music: jazz, funk, fusion, reggae, soul to feed my mind and my soul. During the years I collected many experiences as mc and beatmaker, live shows, jams, collaborations: I founded a an hip-hop underground laboratory called ANTRO, the very core of my hip-hop history. Today you can check out few of mine recent beats: enjoy and let me know your opinion. EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY, NONE BUT OURSELVES CAN FREE OUR MIND.
