About Me

Were to begin....i was born in Evanston, Ill and got into the hip-hop culture off the top. I'll never forget when i was younger, I'd wake up and complain about my brother's music being too loud in the morning. Little did I know, what I was hearing at the time would turn out to be classics such as Criminal Minded, Strictly Business and Move the Crowd to name a few. I guess it was in Middle School that I started attempting to spit ryhmes...mainly just a bunch of profanity with ryhme here and there. But as time moved on, i got better...until my Sophmore year in Highschool when I was forced to move down South. Chattanooga, TN became my home and I was all alone. So with no life, no friends, no city...i went on a ryhming spree. I'd spend the whole day either rappin in my head or puttin it down on paper. I was a nobody in highschool, mainly due to the fact that I kept to myself. It was around this time that i started playing around with variuos programs and started making beats. Ended up going to the University of Tennessee and got a degree in Civil Engineering...of course still ryhming the whole while. To sum it all up...I started rapping at 14 and haven't stopped since. Now i'm doing it all from producing to mixing to spittin the hottnest. The next step is getting an equipment upgrade to professionalize my sound...Oh SHIT, there's more.....o.k. now i'm no longer living in TN....i am now doing the civil engineering thing in Ft. Myers, FL while still trying to hold my grip on the mic. Same shit different stall. New home, new job, new attitude, new songs, new beats, new skills....SAME O.I.TODAY'S WEATHER IN SWFL
