Knowledge Divine Allah aka 1D

About Me

1D, aka Knowledge Divine Allah was born and raised in the cold blooded city of Milwaukee.1D began playing alto saxophone, and he later went on to earn a scholarship to the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, where he studied under jazz legend Berkeley Fudge. During this time he performed with several jazz legends as a member of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music’s Milwaukee Jazz Experience, conducted by Mr. Fudge, his mentor.1D continues to work at becoming a relevant voice in the Hip Hop world. He is a dedicated Social Worker, dealing with at-risk youth, and is sincere about teaching young people.1D has performed with, and opened up for artists such as Professor Griff, Mike Jones, Dem Franchize Boyz, Twista, Sadat X, Ed O.G., Afrikaa Bambataa & the Zulu Nation, X-Clan, Slick Rick, Little Brother, Youngbloodz, Big Willie & the Mob (Milwaukee Blues legends) and many Hip Hop artists. He has played saxophone with legends such as Berkeley Fudge, Adekola Adedapo, Gerald Cannon, Victor Soward, Manty Ellis, Luis Diaz, Milwaukee Public Theatre’s Ajula Dance Troup, Martha Artis, One Drum, and many other groups.“I am the amalgamation of 120 Lessons, good education, ghetto upbringing, Hip Hop, and Black history. I am the culmination of the Civil Rights movement, the failure of school integration, the crack epidemic, and the desire to teach civilization, righteousness, the knowledge of self, and the science of everything in life to people who are spiraling out of control. Quote my life. My songs are intended to stimulate the thoughts and ideas of this new generation who have been misinformed by their elders, schools, and most importantly, the media. Free your mind, or bars your ass will be behind." plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com love / music / movies / frazy Hot Free Layouts
