MY AIM IS TO BRING ASIAN HIP HOP TO THE MAINSTREAM.
WITH SO MANY TALENTED BENGALI INDIVIDUALS IN THE MUSIC GAME,TOUCHING ON EVERY ASPECT, WE SHOULD BE THERE SOON..AND MAYBE WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD..WHO KNOWS.."ITs JUST A DREAM THOUGH"
THE STYLE OF MUSIC WE MAKE RANGES FROM THE STREETS INTO THE CLUBS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.LYRICALLY WE TALK ABOUT THE GOODTIMES THE BADTIMES..FROM WOMEN TO MONEY TO DRUGS ALMOST EVERYTHING..A WESTERN BENGALI MALE GOES THROUGH..HAS OR WILL..I WAS BORN IN LONDON. RAISED IN NORTHAMPTON,
OF BANGLADESHI ETHNICITY.I FIRST GOT INTO MUSIC, ORIGINALLY THROUGH MY UNCLE
WHO WAS CONNECTED WITH A WELL KNOWN GROUP IN NORTH WEST LONDON. HE WAS A DJ/MC AT THE TIME,I WAS ROUGHLY ABOUT 9 WHEN I GOT INTRODUCED TO A WORLD OF UNDERGROUND HIP HOP. MY UNCLE GAVE ME A TOY KEYBOARD, SOM OLD RECORDS AND A MIC.THE FIRST HIP HOP TRACK I HEARD WAS BY THE WU-TANG CLAN. (DONT REMEMBER THE NAME).IT WAS IN MY MIDDLE SCHOOL IN YEAR 8 I WAS 13, DURING AN ENGLISH LESSON, WE HAD TO WRITE SOME KIND OF POETRY, WHICH WE ALL HAD TO READ OUT LOUD IN CLASS.SO ME AND MY FREIND WERE MESSING AROUND JUST WRITING DOWN FUNNY STUFF. I REMEMBER THA TEACHER PRAISING US FOR HOW DIVERSE THA POEM WAS...AND SHE MADE ME READ IT OUT LOUD IN FRONT OF MY YEAR.IT WAS THEN I REALISED POETRY CAME NATURAL TO ME.A YEAR LATER I WAS 14, SHAQS A CLOSE FREIND OF MINE WAS SPITTIN RYMHES FROM FROM AN X-ZIBIT TRACK OR SOMTHING AND THEN I STARTED RYHMING LYRICS OFF A DMX TRACK OR SOMTHING AND WE JUST FLOWED.I LEARNT HOW TO BEATBOX FROM A FREIND KNOWN AS 'GOATMAN' WHO IS A DJ, AND FROM SHAQS WHO ALREADY KNEW HOW TO BEATBOX.WHEN SHAQS WOULD RHYME, I WOULD BEATBOX AND WHEN I WOULD RHYME SHAQS WOULD BEATBOX.AND THEN 'BOOM' I REALISED THEN THAT I WANTED TO PURSUE A LIFE IN MUSIC. THOUGH I NEVER STUDIED ANY MUSIC FOR MY GCSE'S OR ANYTHING.I TOUGHT MYSELF HOW TO PRODUCE, AND RHYME.SO I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA. TO START A RAP GROUP AND SHAQS WAS THE FIRST RECRUIT. I THEN GOT THUG-N
WHO IS A CLOSE FREIND OF MINE INTO THE GROUP.AND IT BEGAN...I REALISED WE NEEDED INSRUMENTALS SO GOT MYSELF A COPY OF MAGIX MUSIC MAKER AND STARTED MAKING BEATS...GOT A FEW INSRUMENTALS ON LOCK, WE WOULD JAM IN MY ROOM AND RECORD TRACKS.WE DIDNT HAVE A GROUP NAME FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND FINALY, WE CALLED OURSELVES 'KRAZE MILITANTS' LOL.WE CHANGED THIS LATER BECOUSE THE NAME DID NOT REFLECT US AS A GROUP.I REMEMBER SAYING TO SHAQS AND THUG-N.."EVERYTHING I ALAWYS DO, IM AVERAGE..BUT IN MUSIC AND POETRY IM ABOVE AVERAGE".WE THEN GOT 'SHAFUL' INTO THA GROUP WHO IS A SINGER OUR 4TH MEMBER OF THA GROUP.I BECAME THE COMPOSER OF THE GROUP. AND MADE ALL THE BEATS AND INSTUMENTALS.AND LATER REALISED THAT SHAQS TOOK A KEEN INTREST
INTO BEATMAKING AND TAUGHT HIM MY PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES, AND NOW HE IS A STEADY, UP AND COMING PRODUCER WITH SOME 'CRAZY' BEATS.WE CAME UP WITH THE NAME 'KHALIPHAZ' PRONOUNCED 'KHALEE-FUZZ' AND STUCK TO THIS.I CHANGED MY NAME A FEW TIMES..LONGEST RUNNING WAS GHOST..LOL..BUT NOW IT IS 'ALIFA'. PRONOUNCED 'ALEE-FA'.ALTOGETHER WE HAVE HAVE BEEN IN THE MUSIC GAME FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS.DURING OUR TIME AS THE KRAZE MILITANTS WE COLLABORATED ON A FEW TACKS WITH A GROUP KNOWN AS 'BORROW BLOODS'. AND NOW THE LEAD RAPPER KNOWN AS 'HAR-Q' A GOOD FREIND, DOING BIG THINGS IN HIS CAREER..NUFF LOVE GOING OUT TO HIM..THE 1ST MIXTAPE, SOMEHOW GOT LEAKED ON THA STREET'S ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WHICH I THINK IS A'LOST TAPE'. THE 2ND PROJECT IS STILL IN THE STUDIO BUILDING UP DUST...AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON OUR 3RD PROJECT.IM AM ALSO WORKING WITH AN UP AND COMING ARTIST CALLED 'ILL TONGUE' LOOK OUT FOR HIM IN THA FUTURE 'MAD TALENT'.IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION YOU DESIRE,COLLABORATE OR NEED BEATS, DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME..AND I WILL GET BACK 2 YOU ASAP.THANKS FOR READING.ALIFAwww.myspace.com/Alifamusicwww.myspace.com/Shaqs
