So who exactly is L. Ness? , the answer lies behind what’s ahead in this biography. Elliot Martin better known as L. Ness was born and raised on the Southside streets of Chicago. Ness was introduced into the wonderful world of Hip Hop at the early age of seven, by his sister Tia Martin. She was an inspiration to him because of her interest in the culture.

Ness took notes and begun to pick up and develop talents of his own. At the age of eight he began to really play a part in the Hip Hop culture. As time progressed he noticed that rap was one of his strongest and most creative talents. So he decided to work hard at it and one day become famous from his creative talent. As Ness grew older he noticed that his skill with emceeing was developing rapidly and others around him also started to notice. Early into his high school years he met and joined with members of a rap group known as Ill Nature. Other artists from the group who had an encounter with Ness noticed his capabilities with emceeing and decided to select him as a member of the crew. Once Ness was a member of Ill Nature he began to work with two of the group’s producers who were Darryl Branscomb, known as Strapede and David Ewing, known as Prolific.
