Since the late 90’s, MONSTA X, also known as NTROSPEKT, has been releasing music and scorching stages. After early releases with Clockwork Productions, The Hollis, Queens Raised MC linked up with fellow Queens wordsmith, JUNCLASSIC to form DYNAMIX. They dropped an album (Shock and Awe Vol.1) and a mixtape (Shock and Awe Vol.2) and quickly built a buzz with entrancing lyrical expertise and an explosive stage show that left strong impressions on the minds of all who came across the group. After hundreds of shows, opening for major acts such as the Jurassic 5, touring up and down the east coast with the Warped Tour, college shows and self produced showcases, major labels started knocking at their doors. Unfortunately, their refusal to bend to the heavy demands of the corporations left DYNAMIX without a record deal.
They kept pushing independently, becoming a part of DAY BY DAY ENTERTAINMENT, the label/distribution company founded by underground legend MF GRIMM. Their industry expertise landed them both senior positions at the company, and their verbal dexterity earned their positions in the MONSTA ISLAND CZARS, the esteemed rap collective also headed by MF GRIMM. Recording and working constantly, notable appearances include lauded verses on MF GRIMM’s critically acclaimed album, American Hunger (The first triple CD in Hip Hop) as well as internationally released singles with the group.
Currently working on solo material, X is poised to breathe new life into a slowly dying record industry. Uniqueness, strong lyrics, an explosive stage show, presence and superfresh style make the rap demon that is MONSTA X, while experience, hard work, patience and determination make the successful businessman. With two singles already receiving national attention (Mind of a Monsta, produced by MF GRIMM and Get Down, produced by HUSKY), and an EP on the way, 08 is shaping up to be the year of the MONSTA!!!! Stay tuned and prepare to be blown away!!
