About Me
WHERE DO I START? I WAS BORN IN A VERY SMALL & POOR TOWN CALLED CAIRO, ILLINOIS. AS CAIRO, I GREW UP THE SAME. YOUNG, BLACK, & POOR MALE. ALWAYS MOVING AROUND PLACE TO PLACE. EITHER IN OUR OWN HOME OR WITH SOMEBODY. MOST LIKELY A RELATIVE. ME AND DAD HAS NEVER SEEN EACH OTHER. SO, I BEEN RAISING MYSELF HOW TO BE A MAN. WHICH IS COOL. THE GREAT THING ABOUT IT, IS THAT I GOT TO PICK MY OWN TEACHERS. MOMS TOOK CARE OF ME AND TWO OTHERS. AND SHE'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB. IF YOU SAW WHERE WE STAYED, YOU'LL SAY THE SAME.
I WAS FORCED TO LIVE IN WINSTON SALEM, NC BECAUSE OF CAIRO'S "DECAYING" CONDICTIONS. IT WAS LONG & DIFFICULT PROCESS, BUT I'VE MANAGE. NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE CULTURE, BUT AS A YOUNG MALE AND NOT KNOWING MUCH, I HAD TO BE LIKE MY OWN PARENT. AS FOR AS STAYING DISCIPLINE & MAKING SURE I STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. WELL, THERE WAS NOBODY ESLE THAT WAS GOING TO DO THAT. EVENTHOUGH I TRIED I STILL HAD TO DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL TO JOIN A ADULT HIGH PROGRAM. STAYED FOCUS & GOT IT DONE.
I'VE JOINED THE MILITARY NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT BECAUSE I NEEDED A TRADE. AFTER A, PROBABLY, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS BY MYSELF AND NO FAMILY WAS AROUND. I HAD TO LEARN WALK AND RUN IN TWO DAYS BECAUSE OF AN EVENT. I WAS EVENTUALLY FORCED TO GET DISCHARGE.
LATER ON, I GOT MY CHANCE TO PREFORM, FOR THE FIRST TIME, AT A SHOWCASE. IT WAS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT HAD A&Rs FROM DEF JAM & INTERSCOPE THERE. I WAS SECOND PERSON TO PERFORM AND THE ONLY PERSON TO GET NOTICE BY DEF JAM. SADLY, THE REPRESENTIVE LOST HIS JOB WITH IN THAT WEEK.
AFTER DEALING WITH BOGUS ARTISTS, PRODUCERS, A&Rs, STUDIOS, JOBS AND WHATEVER YOU CAN THINK OF, I DECIDED TO BUILD A HOME STUDIO. DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY BUT WAS ABLE TO BUILD A HIGH QUALITY STUDIO, WELL, AFTER HOURS & HOURS & HOURS & HOURS OF RESEARCHING PLANNING & SELF-DETERMINATION. HONESTLY, THE MUSIC I'VE MADE IN MY STUDIO SOUNDS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I'VE RECORDED IN ANYONE ELSES.
SO, HERE WE ARE TODAY. I'M A FAST LYICAL RAPPER WITH A TASTE FOR JAZZ, SOUL, POETRY, REGGAE, AND HIP HOP. I MAKE MOSTLY POSITIVE MUSIC. AS LONG AS I'M REACHING POOR GHETTO CHILDREN LIKE I ONCE WAS. SO, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT & BLESSES.
