About Me

I am an artist dedicated to the preservation of the tradition of Hip-Hop. I am not trying to win the "Who can have the most friends on myspace" contest. Please drop me a line if you wish to be added as a friend so that myspace is used as a community building communication tool, not a superficial popularity contest. I strive to make and promote artistic expressions that move our community in a positive direction. My past is full of tragedy and triumph and my future is infinitely promising. I wish to work with artists and people in the community who share my views on social change. Those individuals who recognize that MySpace is not an end but rather a beginning to reinforcing human connections in the REAL WORLD. Please contact me if you like what you hear and want to show your support or build together. PEACE
