THE NAME HELLA WAS GIVEN TO ME AROUND 8TH OR 9TH GRADE. IT STARTED OUT AS MOCKING ME BECAUSE EVERY OTHER WORD OUT MY MOUTH WAS "HELLA" THIS & "HELLA" THAT. ONCE I GOT USED TO IT I RAN WITH IT. I EMBODIED EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORD. MEANING I STRIVE TO BE THE BEST AND MORE.THE NAME "HELLA-Cik" PRONOUNCED (HELL-UH-SICK) MAINLY REFERS TO MY MINDSET, FANTASIES, GENERAL THINKING AND TENDENCIES, AND BOASTFULY, MY LYRICAL CONTENT. FROM THE LITERAL SENSE OF "MENTALLY SICK" TO THE FIGURATIVE SLANG WORD "SICK" IT ALL GOES WITHOUT SAYING I AM DEFINITELY SICK WIT IT. I GOT HELLA FLOW STYLES. THERE ISN'T MANY TRACKS THAT I CAN'T SMASH. BEING BORN IN OHIO, RAISED IN MOBILE,AL. AND CURRENTLY RESIDING IN MPLS.MN, MY VOCABULARY,SLANG AND ACCENT ARE UNMATCHED RESULTING IN A SOUND THAT IS UNMISTAKABLE AND UNIQUE. MY FLOW IS HELLA TIGHT. THERE AREN'T MANY EMCEES THAT CAN MATCH MY LYRICAL POTENCY & I'M NOT TALKING BATTLE RAPPIN' EITHER. I MEAN, CONSISTENT HARD HITTING METAPHORS,FACSIMILIES, AND LINE FOR LINE PUNCHES THAT ARE UNDENIABLY AMONGST THE BEST IN THE GAME. RANGING FROM CLEAR FAST-PACED MIDWEST RHYMES TO COOL-HEADED CLEVER SOUTHERN TEMPOS. I STARTED RAPPIN' AT THE AGE OF 13 UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A BRAND NEW RAPPER NAMED SNOOP DOGGY DOGG & KURUPT. JUST FREESTYLING AND REMEMBERING LINES TO MY FAVORITE SONGS. IN 1994 UNDER THE SELF GIVEN NAME m&m NAMED AFTER THE NEW BLUE m&m COLOR THAT JUST CAME OUT(LITTLE BLUE m&m WITH SHADES ON). I STARTED WRITING SONGS AT THE AGE OF 14 AFTER HEARING C-BO'S "AUTOPSY" ALBUM. I GOT SERIOUS ABOUT MY LYRICAL CONTENT SHORTLY AFTER WHEN I HEARD METHOD MAN'S "TICAL" AND OUTKAST'S SOUTHERNPLAYALISTIC"ALBUM. I DECIDED I COULD BE THE BEST WHEN I HEARD THE "PURPLE TAPE"ALBUM BY CHEF RAEKWON AND TONY STARKS(GHOSTFACE). I DECIDED I AM THE BEST AFTER HEARING LYNCH HUNG'S ALBUM "LOADED". I JUST KEPT WRITING & FREESTYLING WITH MY COUSIN POPPA & SHOTTY BOO AND W/FRIENDS LIKE $AM G & SALTY DOGG TO NAME A FEW. YEARS LATER IN 2005 AFTER 2 YRS. OF RECORDING(WHEREVER I COULD GET FREE STUDIO TIME)I RELEASED MY FIRST SOLO EFFORT TITLED "HELLA-4-HIRE" FEATURING RAPPER/PRODUCER BLACK$MITH ON 5 TRACKS, $AM G AND DAMAER.E.D A.K.A. RICHBUK. COMPOSED PARTLY FROM PRE-RECORDED INDUSTRY INSTRUMENTALS AND A FEW ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTALS BY RAPPER/PRODUCER SCAMINON OF SURVIVAl.i.s.t. INC. WHO WAS ALSO FEATURED ON TWO TRACKS. THIS WAS MY FIRST PORTFOLIO OF WORKS WHICH CONTAINS 13 SONGS WHICH INCLUDE 2 HOT MOVIE CLIP INTRO SKIT TRACKS.ASK ABOUT IT! I HAD $0 RECORDING BUDGET BUT I GOT IT DONE. MAINLY THANKS TO A FRIENDS' FRIEND NAMED ANTHONY GARDNER. WHO RECORDED MOST OF THE ALBUM AT THE GUITAR BOUTIQUE ON SNELLING AVE. IN ST.PAUL,MN.SOON AFTER AT THE AGE 24. I STARTED A GROUP PROJECT BY THE NAME OF HELLAMINIK WITH MY FRIEND HOT MINIK AND PRODUCERS DECIBYL "dB" (PROTOOLS INSTRUCTOR)C.E.O. OF NINE X TWELVE MUSIC, AND D.J. BLAZE-1NE "PAULZ"(SENIOR PROTOOLS ENGINEER). D.J.BLAZE-1NE ALSO PRODUCED 2 TRACKS INCLUDING THE HIT SINGLE "FLASH" ON THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SUMMER 2007 INTERNATIONALLY RELEASED ALBUM "POINT OF NO RETURN", RECORDED AT (I.P.R.) THE INSTITUTE FOR PRODUCTION AND RECORDING DOWNTOWN MPLS. THIS ALBUM SHOWED MY LYRICAL IMPROVEMENT AND DIVERSITY. FEATURING 2 TRACKS WITH PRAISED LOCAL "KING"SANDMAN WHO PRODUCED AN EXCLUSIVE REMIX TO THE HIT SINGLE "SNEAK ATTACK"(ALSO FEAT. SANDMAN).ASIDE FROM MY "EAR FOR GOOD MUSIC"THAT I USED TO GIVE IN-STUDIO, DIRECTION CHANGING IMPUT ON NUMEROUS TRACKS, I WROTE MOST OF THE HOOKS AND COLLABORATED WITH HOT MINIK TO COME UP WITH MOST OF THE SONG CONCEPTS. I USED EVERY SESSION TO CRAFT MY SOUND, TO LEARN AND IMPROVE MY STUDIO SAVVY. SINCE THEN WE HAVE RECEIVED INTERNATIONAL RADIO PLAY, INTERNATIONAL ALBUM SALES ALL ACHIEVED INDEPENDENTLY THROUGH NINE X TWELVE MUSIC, THE SKIES THE LIMIT.DUBBED "THE HOOK MONSTER" BY PARTNER HOT MINIK, I WRITE SONGS, HOOKS AND VERSES. SO IF YOU NEED SOMETHIN' HOLLATCHABWAH!
