About Me

.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" A Member of the KnowMadIQ Tranzit CrewI grew up in the North East District of Los Angeles, Cali. Growing Up I heard my Mom bumpin Motown Soul, and Spanish music, My Pops a lot of Santana and Earth Wind and Fire, and my Bigger Brother bumpin a lot of Metal. But it wasn't until my cousin came by the crib with Run DMC and The Fat Boys. I dug it and starting writing raps for fun. But soon he rolled thru with NWA's "Straight Outta COmpton" and the first song he played was "Fuck Tha Police". Now at 7 years old that was something I never heard before. But I soon got hooked and knew for sure Hip Hop was the love of my life.Well now u know what drove me towards HipHop lets fast foward a little. Around high school I started freestylin with at house party's and peepin out some of the local underground spots such as Luna Sol Cafe, Project Blowed, Unity, etc.. I even joined a few crews with local homies, but it wasn't until my first year of college when I really started payin dues with my crew "KnowMadIQ Tranzit". This was started by me and my boys Rawk Phenomn, and Dj Mindstate. Eventually another MC by the name of Low the Mezsenger and a producer named Author I joined. We began rockin shows, opening for underground legends such as OMD (2Mex and Xinco), Medusa, Quinto Sol, Burning Star, Scarub (Living Legends), Acid Rein, Slowrider and many others.For some time we all started working on solo projects to really fullfill our creative differences. While Low the Mezenger has moved on and began working with his new crew Quantom Mechanics, which involves Low, Ethereal (Living Mechanizm) AGOP, Equinox, and Prodocon, me and the rest of the crew dusted off the old Tranzit studio and continued working on our solo projects. SO Tranzit Crew is off its MTA strike and behind the wheel again. Be looking out from Projects by all of us "Still reppin tha Tranzit Crew" Peace and I'm outtie 5 thousand G
