About Me

rappin since 93, making beats was always a passion. It started with a mic, 2 turntables, a mixer, amp, a recorder, some of the homies and BAM!! upgraded to a roland vs880, a rowland keyboard, a sampler, some drugs and a little less homies and BAM!! got locked up for a minute, my brother went for a 187 (still in Federal Prison) not no state bullshit. took off to japan...got hooked up with a nice studio out there and went back to the passion. Never thought about blowing up, never thought about feeding myself with this, never really tried....it was only for the Love of the shit...fo' real. I was my worst critic. and i still think i ain't ready...but lyrically, i'm on some shit....been writing since i was like 9 . I BELIEVE THERE ARE ONLY 2 PEOPLE THAT CAN MAKE AN ASIAN RAPPER BLOW UP, EITHER DR. DRE OR THE RZA. OTHERWISE IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN....IS THERE ROOM IN THIS BLACK FORM OF MUSIC FOR A NIP.!?! HMM. SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE IT DID TAKE A WRONG TURN. ..WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE REAL HIPHOP.?for more info on yAz... see YASU in top friends section.
