About Me

This page is intended to serve as a sort of retrospective of my "career" performing and producing music, but mostly focusing on the production side of things. I plan to change the play list frequently to highlight some of what i feel was my better material. In the past i played many instruments and performed in a handful of groups, most notably the BellyFull Crew of Covington, Ky. I then worked on some solo material and produced some stuff for Junya Be, representing Cincinnati, OH and Tampa, FL respectively. Most people find it strange that i don't play or perform anymore, especially those who collaborated with me in the past, or knew me on a personal level. I won't take the time to bore anybody with details but basically my passion has been exchanged for something(s) greater. Not to mention that i had long grown tired of the acclimation that had taken place in the music industry. I refuse to pimp myself to make dollars and am saddened to see artists of "integrity" hob-nobbing with pseudo thugs and camera-clowns to generate funds. The media cesspool has contaminated everything that at one time may have had even the faintest shred of purity, and to that world i say, so long. With that being said, enjoy this glimpse into what once was.As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatou lahi wa barakatu, The Artist Formerly Known As..... '09

Tuff Guy Inst.

This beat here is super old, i'd say going back to about 03, but i might be a little off. I should've kept better records. Made primarily with the old Roland Mc-307 groovebox and additional live gu...

unfinished. untitled. unconcerned.

so this might've been the last "beat" i did before i packed up my equipment, moved, set it back up as a decoration, and ultimately packed it back up to put in the hands of somebody who still has the f...
