Original Men

About Me

Original Men consists of two members Daggaman (aka The Bladerunna) and Solo (aka The Soloist / Anonimus), the two of us spawned from Ordinary Maddness. Our early foundation was formed while in college jus hangin. Daggaman was grindin with a few groups as well as doin his own thing then soon found bustas bitin his stlye, so he decided to keep his powers concealed. I'd been an avid B-boy since '83 whether breakin or on the one's and two's Solo was well versed yet lyrically had not found an allie. We'd spend hours, days and nights honing our superpowers over wax, sumtimes it seemed surreal cuz we where on many occasion in the cypher long after everyone else had been decapitated. Apparently, Daggaman felt like I did so we combined forces on a quest to defeat wackness... Daily life for us was far from the ordinary with the rigors of class schedules, jobs even raising children never taking the easy way out... hence Ordinary Maddness was born. Daggaman introduced me to his frat brother Larry (X-Factor), I introduced them to my born brother Kevin ( OYP aka/The Original Yung Punk) soon after we recorded our first song..."__rain n sunshine brought rainbos togetha aww man whateva, Stormy Whether bought 4 nigaz 2getha" This song embodied every bit of that grimee, us against the world, take no prisnors attitude that we'd later be known for.....
