About Me

My name is Shell.Music has been around me since birth and I love it. Many members of my family have talents in playing many instruments but that wasn't quite for me. I didn't start making music of my own until I was in my 9th and 10th grade year and as time progressed, so did my skill. From the church choir to the lunchroom table I became more and more involved with the music sense. Back then, I didn't do any songs and I didn't know anything about song structure or any of that. I just freestyled off of anybeat and battled. My focus was the things that surrounded me on a daily basis. These were things like violence, theivery, robbery, prostitution and all that stuff. I stopped rhyming about those kinda things when I realized that I was not contributing a message that could not be used in anybody's life. It made me feel hollow inside, so I made a drastic within a years time and honed my skills differently through song making. The person that helped me realize that another route was an optimal choice was no other than my partner and close friend iILL Meel. We decided that we would go against the grain and try something different. We have met and worked with alot of different people but we are still fighting to make our mark in West Philadelphia. As we keep pushing for our goals, the journey continues. Peace
