About Me

An EMCEE who sounds like a little bit of everybody, but nobody, all at the same time! A bold, deep voice, an addicting flow, and wordplay you can appreciate! West Coast or East Coast? CLASSIC MIDWEST HIP HOP! Born in Saint Paul, MN. Raised in V-town, CA. Inspired by a world of gospel, soul, and jazz music. At nine, he wrote his first rhyme. His Daddy showed him how to work their home computer. By twelve he was looping breaks and making tapes. In '93, he moved back to MN to learn the values of hard work and honing his talents from his Mama. Dug hooked up with Kai Swivel and Concept and created a buzz in the Cities. In '97, he moved south, living in both the Volunteer and Show Me States. All the while, soaking up the style! Back in MN, Dug Mack, POPS and Kai Swivel form the Sacred Soil Coalition. They are planning to release their first collaboration, Inner Uprising, in 2006.

What's Beef?

HipHop Battles Wilanda Akil April 28, 2003 In HipHop it seems that no one likes peace. If there is no "beef" then HipHop isn't cool or loses its edge. But for the sake of history not repeating itself...
