About Me

Im 29 years old, born and raised on tha almighty West Coast currently residing in Florida by means of the US Air Force. I am a Staff Sergeant and was previously stationed at Travis AFB in CA, and now im at Eglin AFB working as a Ground Combat Instructor. Ive been deployed to 6-7 countries including 2 tours in Iraq.
I've recorded music with Crooked I, Mistah F.A.B., Tangled Thoughts, Craig G and in the future will be workin with MC JUICE, Sly Boogy, Mykill Miers and a few other cats.
As for music, I grew up off that real Hip-Hop, not that fake shit u hear today on tha radio with tha snaps, corny gimmicks and watered down rhymes. Hip-Hop is dying and its up to tha real lyricists and tha real fans to bring it back. If we want it back, we can bring it back.
Myself and tha crew drop free albums every month practically, so far in 2009 we've put out "Tha CrockPot" by myself and S.D., my solo mixtape "Extreme Takeover" and "Bars & Starrs", a group effort with S.D. & Agile.
Currently im workin on a FREE solo album called "Master's Degree" to give people a taste what i've been doin solo wise. It's really different than what i've been doing with tha other projects.
In July im dropping my huge solo album "T.R.A.V.O.L.T.A.". TRAVOLTA features guest artists Crooked I, Tangled Thoughts, Craig G, Mykill Miers and AK. These guys have all vouched for me on tha mic, if u consider urself a hard core Hip-Hop fan and don't know these guys..then I challenge you to do ya homework cuz tha radio may be brainwashing you. Come get a bar of this spit.
Tha year will wrap up with my album with MikeShyst entitled "West Style Virus" which is pretty tremendous.
Im also tha CEO of 8th Starr Entertainment which includes Spit Doctor, Agile Riddick, MikeShyst, Krys, SoDdY and Patron. We've also dropped "21 & Under" by S.D. and "Whats New" by Young Venom.
Support your real artists who insist its not "all about the beat". Hip-Hop started with break beats and incredible lyrics, not to mention tha DJ's, B-Boys/Girls and Graf artists that paved tha way. I pride myself in being a real MC who can also conform to todays music and keep it universal.
