Sounds Like: Maggz love for music goes back to when he was a child, the son of a Jazz trumpet player, Maggz used to go to his fathers concerts and help him set up the stage equipment. He learned how to play the full drum set when he was 7 years old. As the Years progressed, Maggz was cultivated into hip hop, listening to the local radio in Rochester, Maggz, soon later he linked up with the Black Methods back in middle school,who was working on a demo tape at the time, he was soon rhyming in the staircases of his apartment building with Rezon of B.M. who lived in the same complex with his twin brother Paragon. he met Tee S in high school, who knew Rezon from vocational school, They took a broadcasting class together with B Reddy, this is where the Faction was formed. They recorded about 8 songs in the class studio for the first Faction songs. This was in 1999, they recorded more songs when they met the rugged trio Gloomy Knights through Black Cris (R.I.P). H dot was the first producer that the Faction worked with closely. Maggz soon moved out to Memphis, TN returning to Rochester regularly to record songs with the group. Finally in 2005 Maggz ended up in Columbus, OH, where he was desperate for beats, not able to return to Rochester at the time, he was given a copy of Fruity Loops 3, where he learned how to translate his drumming skills into a programmed format. He worked on this day and night. He soon later learned how to use samples from vinyl records."I try to create my own authentic sound, some might call it obscure or abstract, but that's O.K. with me. I use a mixture of bright soulful samples, and deep, dark sounds and samples topped off with a steady rhythm of hard hitting kicks,and sharp snares. I'm a versatile and diverse artist who can go from one extreme to another in a matter of a couple bars." Says Maggz. The Faction Is currently in the studio working on a double disc album. Maggz is currently working on a solo album also, he will be producing many songs on the album himself, also beats by Optix, De Rock, H Dot, K 81, 51 Physicist, Lattimore Platz, and Joe Sway. Also in the works is "Maggnetic Opposites" entirely produced by Optix, No set date on the release. Maggz is also working on a EP with the Intricate Sunz "Secret Society" scheduled to be released in 2010. There are many projects on the way from this talented artist, stay tuned...
