About Me

My name is Jason. Behind a microphone, I go by Motive. I wrote poetry long before I started rapping, and actually never really considered rapping until i started listening to independent hip hop. I started freestyling at parties, got some props, and so my passion was born. My writing is inspired by positive and negative life experiences, facts and feelings, people and places, ideas, morals and fantasies. These songs are a little (or big) peice of me to the rythm of a hip hop beat. I hope you enjoy what you hear.............. I just started a hip hop band, so please be on the look out for that.

Member Since: 9/24/2007
Band Members:
Influences: Qwel, Sole, Alias, fuck it all of anticon, Slug (the old slug), POS, Sage, Buck 65, Cecil Otter, B Dolan, Sixtoo, Aesop Rock and most cats from def jux, the old school legends shit, probably like eligh the best if i had to choose, the list goes on. Listen to more rock than hip hop actually. All the old school shit, rage, nirvana, still listen to like smashing pumpkins, soungarden, and that old chili peppers shit to name just a few. My biggest influences are from people i've known personally for years that paved the way. Deidrich Ibaceta (Precise 1), we started rapping together. Came a long way since. Dan Wood (Greifshare), Miles Becken (W. Trials), David Gomez, John Labuen, Sam Labuen of Flow Ethics, Miley (Soul). And then there are the artists/bands that i've worked with or got a chance to meet in recent years. Qmulus, Stylez, Erz, Smoke 1, Chase 1, Sand like Snow, Motel Monster, Colin Mcgraw, just to name a few. Artists of all kinds creating because it makes them feel good, anyone that ever told me i was talented, a past that consists of toxic relationships and drug abuse, and life... Mostly the pessimistic parts.
