When i was about 7 i moved from my Parents to my Aunt...obviously for reasons im not gonna say. When I was about...say 9 or 10 years old, I was with my Dad at my Great Grandma's house. He surprised me with a CD. This CD was Marshall Mathers LP (Eminem). Back then i didnt have a music preference so that one CD started me off as a rap/hip hop person. That was the CD that makes me a rapper today. Becuase i lived with my Aunt at that time, she listened to a lot of R&B so it got me more into that too. She brought me up listening to BET a lot so basically i always listened to hip hop, rap, and R&B music.
When i was about...probably 9 or 10, the same time that (Look Up) was happened, my Aunt decided to send me to a summer camp, sleep away. Now i hated it, i did not want to go at all and didnt think i would like it at all. Once i got there, i actually met someone who would further start my interest in music. His name is Kevin Ervin (K.Erv). He was one of my counslers. In that summer, a long with the next summers, i started realizing he was a producer and a singer and good at it too. I always would listen to his beats and songs, and watch him freestyle, and beatbox (which he is pretty dam good at). Once i got older, and i would see him, i would start to think, what if i made music. So one day, it wasnt the summer, i was online and i asked him if he could get me FL Studios, which is music production software. He actually got it for me. Thats when i started making beats. And later i would get into songs.
I went to camp the next 2 years about and met a kid named Shamar. Shamar and I always talked about music all the time and we became really good friends. Basically after camp, him and I would always talk to eachother and we got into lyric making. Me and him always tried to make new songs and sent them to eachother and edited them over the phone. Thats when i started actually putting lyrics to the beats and made it official....or tried to lol.
It took me about a year to a year in a half to get decent with beat making. And then i tried to make my first song (Ridin Slow..lol). I was happy wit my simple-beat song. I wanted to go further and was shure that is what i was going to do for a living.
As i kept going to that camp, i met a kid...Jonathan Madrano (Big J Fresh). I didnt realize it untill the third year i saw him, but he was into music too and good friends with Kevin. So about...2007, around April i talked to him online and was like yo lets make a song. He had an internal microphone just like me so we decided i will produce the song and he will send me his vocals. We successfully made a song and wwe were going crazy about it. When i saw him that summer, i brought my laptop. We were living together (no Homo) with a kid named Julian Osario(Lyric). Coincidentally, Julian made music too! Not exactly songs but he wrote lyrics....coincidentally his name. So it was on. We used one of K.Erv, or Kevin's beat he made called 300 Clubs. We named it Return King. It was me Julian and Jonathan. I produced it since i knew the most about the program. The song was crazy good and we felt accomplished. This led to many other songs. After that summer, i started making a lot of beats and songs. Unfortunatly, Julian lived in Long Island and me and Big J lived in Queens. So me and Big J tried for so long to plan a meet up and make a song. Finally, late 2006 we did and there was basically the start off of my rapping and producing passion.
Around late 2006 my best friend Tim Hussain (Pakman) and I also made a song. It was a Remix to We Fly High. Thats how i got him into music and he started making songs with me. We would always try to record thinking we were the best rapper ever.
In the beggining of 2008, around the half way mark of my school year i met a kid in my school Jean Michael (Mad Man Poet). I heard he made lyrics and freestyles, stuff like that so i started talking to him. Apeerently he was really good at it. So seeing as he went to my school, it wasnt hard to start making music with him. He had his own music page with some songs. They were start off songs so they werent as good, just like when i started out. So, i was like man i could use my recording/producing stuff and make music with him so thats exactly what i did. After getting to know him more, we saved up some money and bought real music equipment. We bought a M-Audio Nova microphone and some little things to go with it (stand, headphones, pop filter etc.) That when i took it a step up and got official songs. Now i got FL Studios 8 XXL Edition and im just livin it.
