About Me

Who is this Heist fellow anyway? Well I can tell you he raps pretty well and he's a MC repping Seattle to the fullest. As you can see, he refers to himself in the third person and doesn't take shit from nobody. Haha. JK When It comes to a perspective of life, music and the art, I try and look for the more intellectual things. My life consists of working a 9 to 5 and making music(which is my first love) to make a living off of that instead of working for some fuckhead of a boss who is too concerned about the bottom line. I apperciate real talent not this so-called real rap game where every rapper coming up the pike sells crack and cocaine. Hell.. my own brother thought thats what i was going to rap about until he heard the real music I was putting down.When I look back on my life, I want to think, "Wow...I made a true difference in the rap game. Now on to the next subject. It has come to my attention that the Seattle Rap Scene has been over looked since Sir Mix-A-Lot came out with "Baby Got Back". Not the best way to portray such an intense city filled with music and art. I hope everybody will check out at least 1 Seattle MC. My picks: Sol, Fatal Lucciuano, Macklemore, D. Black, Grynch or Blue Scholars.(Check My Top Friends) All the other major cities like LA,NY,ATL,Houston, hell even Miami have had there time to shine. When is our time? I have self-proclaimed myself the next true Seattle MC. I am going to bring Seattle to the top of the game when I am at my full potential! So watch out Hip-Hop, Seattle is coming! Stand Up! So if you like me, Thank you. But if you hate me, Don't hate on me. I will leave you with a quote I saw."I learned the value of having and not. Recent scholars have begun analyzing hip hop culture. They’ve made it clear; the music comes from struggle. In this community you are deemed unfit if your home is not broken or if you haven’t had to sacrifice morals for financial gain. Image has ruined hip hop." -Marcus D

Honestly, I don't want to be famous!!!!

I seriously am not trying to be a famous. I make music because I like to do it. Making money off of it is a bonus. If music wasn't profitable, I would still do it. But doing music is not the ...
