I WAS BORN IN HARLEM, NY, BUT IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT HOME TO THE BRONX AFTER THE HOSPITAL RELEASED ME. SO I GUESS YOU CAN SAY I HAVE A HARLEM SWAG WITH A BRONX MENTALITY. MY MUSICAL INSPIRATION CAME FROM MY PIANO TEACHER PETER FROM TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH. HE TAUGHT ME ALOT ABOUT PLAYING WITH PASSION AND SOUL. AT THE AGE OF 13 I HAD TO MOVE IN WITH MY COUSIN DIAMOND D AND HIS MOM DUE TO SOME UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. DIAMOND AT THE TIME WAS PRODUCING FOR BRAND NUBIAN, FAT JOE, MASTER ROB, AND THE DIGGING IN THE CRATES CREW. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED I WANTED TO BE AN EMCEE. A RAPPER JUST RAPS, BUT AN EMCEE WRITES. SO I STARTED TO LEARN THE FORMAT OF HOW TO LAY DOWN MY LYRICS IN BARS. FROM 4 BARS TO 8 BARS TO 16. I WAS ALSO IN THE STREETS BATTLING AND BREAKDANCING WITH MY CREW 25 TO LIFE. 25 TO LIFE (THE YOUNGER VERSION OF T.S)CONSISTED OF MYSELF, RAHEEM, DARVIN, PAUL, KEITH, NIGER, SHAHEEM, KEONI,STACY, WHITE BOY SEAN, WISE KING AND OTHERS. WE WERE PRETTY GOOD BUT WE WERE GETTING TO MATURE FOR THAT, SO WE BEGAN BATTLING OTHER EMCEES AROUND THE NIEGHBORHOOD. WERE ALL PRETTY GOOD. I BEGAN TO BRANCH AWAY ON MY OWN WHEN RAHEEM AND NIGER WERE KILLED. I BECAME DEEPER INTO MUSIC WHEN DIAMOND, LORD FINESSE, AND SHOWBIZ WOULD LET ME CARRY THE RECORDS TO THE SCHHOL YARD OR THE BLUE COURTS AND HELP SETUP FOR THE JAMS. OF COURSE SOMETHING ALWAYS JUMPED OFF BUT I DIDN'T CARE I ASSISTED THEM ANYWAY. NOW YEARS LATER MY PROJECTS HAVE LAUNCHED THE CAREERS OF CO-CO (SWV), FAT JOE, DIAMOND D, LORD FINESSE, SHOWBIZ AND FREDDIE RICKS. NOW IT'S MY TURN TO SHINE. I CAN PRODUCE ANY GENRE OF MUSIC. RAP, POP, R&B, AND ROCK. I HAVE WENT FROM PRODUCING INDIE ARTISTS TO MAJOR ARTISTS SUCH AS NICOLE WRAY (ISLAND), RAMPAGE (FLIPMODE), COMPUTA (BMF), SKG(DEATHROW) GRANDMASTER CAZ AND JAZ O JUST TO NAME A FEW. CURRENTLY FOR 2008 I AM WORKING WITH NICOLE WRAY, HELL RELL & MONEY BOY JR. (TERROR SQUAD). IN 2007 I WAS FEATURED ON B.E.T'S RAP CITY'S PRODUCERS WEEK AND JUDGED 106 & PARK'S FREESTYLE FRIDAY. B.E.T'S MY BLOCK FAT JOE.I'VE ALSO APPEARED ON THE COVER OF AN ATLANTA MAGAZINE CALLED DIAMOND LIFE. IN 2007 I PERFORMED AT THE FUNKMASTER FLEX CAR SHOW AND I HEADLINED IN DOVER, DELAWARE AND IN 2008 IN CAMBRIDGE, MARYLAND. NOW WITH MY ALBUM AND MIXTAPE COMPLETED I WILL BE DOING SHOWS ALL OVER. I AM AN ENTERTAINER. A PRODUCER. AND A LYRICIST WHO WRITES. MUSIC IS MY PASSION. IT'S MY LOVE. MY LIFE. I'VE LEARNED ALOT FROM DIAMOND AND JOEY CRACK THE DON. I'M PROUD TO CALL THEM MY FAMILY. AND I REP THEM TO THE FULLEST. NOW UNDER PAYUP THE SQUAD MANAGEMENT (MICKEY BENTSON & FLEX CABRERA) MY CAREER HAS BEEN ON AN INCLINE. MICKEY REPRESENTING PAYUP AND FLEX CABRERA REPRESENTING TERROR SQUAD. THEY GOT BIG PUN AND JOE TO THEIR STATUS. NOW IT'S MY TURN
