Nigga Its BARZ UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

Born and raised in San Diego, Ca I was introduced to hip-hop at a young age. I moved out to the dusty city (Lancaster Ca) when I was 16 and found that even though the city is not as big as San Diego, the hip-hop scene is definitely present. I hooked up with some cats who had the same agenda as me and have been doing this hip-hop thing ever since. I moved back to my home town in 2005, and in 2007 started Barz Up Ent., with my friend and bussiness partner Kris (Kaje). We doin it way humungo on this side!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/6/2005
Band Members: For the time being I am a solo artist but there are a chosen few that I colab with on a regular basis. The crew is called NGRDNTS(ingredients), but due to circumstances that come with doing this music(jealousy, envy, greed, etc...) there are only a few of us left. There are some other cats that are in the mix that are not from the crew, but still get the same love. The list is as follows: John Doe - The producer/engineer. Charly Kasual - My partner in crime. Currently on vacation provided by the state of california. And last but not least, my barz up family. Kaje, Bash Tippin, iLLiST B, Young Rush, Anthrax, J Dubb. It's B.U.E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Influences: The number of artists that influence me are almost endless, so I hope I get close to naming them all. Being from the West Coast I'm probably going to get some shit for this, but being the broke fat kid on the block, Biggie Smalls music hit home. The Roots(Sorry Kris), DJ Quik, Dr. Dre, Tupac, Eminem, Rakim, Method Man, Eric Sermon, Ice Cube, Run DMC, India Arie, Mitchy Slick, Jay-Z, Nas, Sugar Hill Gang, Mack-10, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Hi-Tech, Common, Q-tip, Mary J. Blige, Big Pun, and any other west coast artist who wasn't on that fake shit.
Sounds Like: Something that you've never heard before. Trust me.
