About Me


Disdain has put crowds in awe nationwide since 2003. This underground multi-talented music sensation is accredited with hundreds of rap battle victories, and has won a total of 14 music contests on the east coast.
Do not be deceived into thinking he is your average white rapper. Disdain is a 10 year music producer of all genres, fluently plays six instruments, and single handedly sold 11,000+ copies of his home produced cd.
The music speaks for itself. It's edgy, intelligent, and contains content everyone can relate to. If this explosive artist is not part of your rap music collection already, there is no doubt he will be very soon.
From the Mouth of the Demon
I am a passionate person who enjoys making music, writing literature, cooking, and technology. I like spending time to get to know my fans, and I enjoy talking to people. I love hanging out with other musicians and music lovers. Although I work indoors, I don't like to stay indoors all the time. I like traveling, culture, and current events.
Things to Know About Disdain

I am self motivated, and have worked hard to get where I am.
I have a solid career and enjoy what I am doing.
I lead a public life, and expose myself through my art.
I believe in music artistry, not music industry.
I don't believe violence solves anything.
I am both a philosopher and a scientist.

You might even know him by a different name... This traveling musician has moved in and out of social circles, and spent a majority of his life hiding from what he truly is. He is known for his musical ear, and devotion to raw expression. Most would call his rap music abrasive, excessively truthful, and exagerated. I would just call it daring. However, his style extends much further than rap music. He has tapped into punk, soft rock, r&b, and reggae. The strange thing about this artist, is his role in the work. Much like Dre, Timberland, Master P, and P Diddy, he produces a majority of his own music. Matt has produced and engineered hundereds of songs already, both for himself, and for others. You have most likely already listened to something he has worked on, or created. You would be surprised how far his experience reaches.

You have to decide for yourself what you are seeking. When I find out for myself, I will let you know. - Disdain Jul, 2006
