About Me
THE HIP HOP JOURNEY OF ALLDAY A.D.E STARTED IN THE LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S. BUT LETS GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING. A.D.E WAS BORN 1983 IN HACKENSACK N.J TO IMIGRANT PARENTS FROM NIGERIA, AFRICA. A.D.E PARENTS DID NOT WANT HIM OR ANY OF HIS SIBLINGS TO FORGET WERE THEY CAME FROM SO AT A TENDER AGE OF 2, A.D.E'S PARENTS RETURN BACK TO AFRICA. A.D.E SPENT 8 YEARS IN NIGERIA, LEARNED THE LANGUAGE AND ALSO REALIZE HE WAS FROM A BIG FAMILY, A ROYAL FAMILY. AT THE AGE OF 8, A.D.E RETURNED TO THE U.S. WITH HIS FAMILY AND THEY MOVED TO THE NORTH EAST SECTION OF THE BRONX. THIS WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOUNG A.D.E BECAUSE THE CULTURE DIFFERENCES FROM AFRICA TO THE U.S WERE TO BIG. AT SCHOOL, A.D.E HAD A TOUGH TIME GETTING ALONG WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS, THE AJUSTMENT WAS HARD BUT A.D.E WAS DETERMINED TO FIT IN. FAST FOWAD. A.D.E WAS INTRODUCED TO HIP HOP THOUGH HIS OLDER SISTER WHO USE TO PLAY THE RADIO (HOT 98.7 BACK THEN) AND SONGS LIKE LL COOL J'S MOMMA SAID KNOCK U OUT AND PETE ROCK'S REMININCE CAUGHT HIS EAR. "HIP HOP TO ME WAS BUGED OUT BACK THEN CAUSE I AIN'T KNOW WHAT THE FU*k THEY WERE SAYING BUT IT SOUNDED HOT CAUSE THE BEAT WAS HOT AND THE ENERGY WAS CRAZY", BUT IT WASN'T TILL RAPPERS LIKE BIGGIE, JAY-Z AND NAS CAME IN THE GAME THAT MADE PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO THERE LYRICS THAT MAD A.D.E FALL IN LOVE WITH HIP HOP."YO I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD JUICY FROM BIG, MEN THAT SONG RIGHT THERE, I MEAN I WAS IN THE 5TH GRADE, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE FU*K HE WAS TALKING ABOUT BUT I NEW ALL THE WORDS IN LIKE 2 DAYS CAUSE U FELT HIM U KNOW, THATS WHEN I STARTED BUYING TAPES OR CD'S". A.D.E LOVED HIP HOP AS A YOUNGSTER SO MUCH, IT BECAME A PART OF HIS LIFE, THE WAY HE DRESSED CHANGED, THE WAY HE TALKED CHANGED, EVEN THE KIDS HE HUNG OUT WITH CHANGED BUT A.D.E NEVER TAUGHT ABOUT RAPPING HIMSELF. "I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I TRYED TO RAP, I THINK I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 9TH GRAGE AND WE WAS CUTTING CLASS AS USUAL AND MA MAN BEATING ON THE LAUNCH TABLE SO I START SPITTING BUT THE LYRIC'S I SAID WASN'T MINE,HAHAHA, I THINK IT WAS DMX JOINT ON SOME MIXTAPE SHIT THAT NOBODY HEARD YET, BUT I DID CAUSE I WAS HEAVY WITH TAPES BACK THEN SO I HEARD ALL THE NEW SHIT, SO I SPIT IT AND EVERYBODY WAS LIKE WOOOOOW THAT WAS HOT.LOL I WAS DUUUM GASSED.LOL. A.D.E HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN HIS LIFE TIME FROM CULTURE DIFFERENCES, BEEN SHOT IN THE FACE AT THE AGE OF 18, AND ALSO JUST BEEN BLACK IN AMERICA, A.D.E FEELS HE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND A LOT TO SPEAK ABOUT IN HIS MUSIC. A.D.E CREDITS HIS INFLUENCES ON RAPING TO LOCAL ARTISTS FROM HIS NEIGHBOR HOOD (J.K. QUICK DRAW AND CLAP CONGAC) WHICH A.D.E CONSIDERS TO BE THE REASON WHY HE EVER PICKED UP A MIC. " THESE DUDES MADE IT REAL TO ME 4 REAL CAUSE AM WITH THEM EVERYDAY, AM HEARING MUSIC THAT THEY JUST LAID DOWN LIKE UMMMMMM, U WENT IN ON THAT, LIKE AM HYPE, MEMORISING THESE DUDES LYRICS U KNOW, I REMEMBER GOING TO MA NIGGA J.K SHOW, NIGGAZ RENTED A LIMO, WE HAD THE HOLE HOOD UP IN THAT JOINT.LOL, DID HIS THING AT THE SHOW, I JUST REMEBERING BEEN SO HYPE WORD SO SHOUT OUT TO THEM DUDES MEN THANKS 4 DA INSPIRATION.
