MY EMAIL: [email protected] NAILS (FROM GERMANTOWN PHILA.- HAINES ST.) STARTED AT THE AGE OF 9-10 WHEN HE FIRST STARTED WRITING. AT THE AGE 17, HE MOVED TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA WITH HIS MOM TO GET AWAY FROM THE STREET INFLUENCES THAT MAY HAVE TAKEN HIM OVER. ONE DAY CATCHIN THE BUS IN RESTON VA, HE MET A EMCEE BY THE NAME OF ROKWELL (FROM NEW JERUZ) WHO HAS BEEN LIVING THEIR FOR SOME TIME. ROKWELL HEARD NAILS UNBELIEVABLE WORDPLAY AND MATURE CONTENTS AND INVITED HIM TO MEET UP WITH A DJ BY THE NAME OF DAVITO. DAVITO (FROM NEWYORK), WAS AMAZED BY A KID AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE WHO KNEW SO MUCH ABOUT UNDERGROUND HIPHOP. HEARING THE COMPLEX BUT SIMPLE LYRICISM OF NAILS,DJ DAVITO QUICKLY ADVISED NAILS TO JOIN HIM AND ROKWELL IN A RECORDING SESSION LATER THAT WEEK IN THE STUDIO OF NORTHERN VA'S KINGS.. TEAM DEMOLITION. AS THE YEARS WENT BY AND MATURITY SET THRU THE MIND OF NAILS, HIS FIRST DEBUT TO THE WORLD WAS ON TEAM DEMOLITION'S MIXTAPE "DJ NOODLES VOL.1". NAILS'S INCREDIBLE SONG BY THE NAME OF "THE CHASE" WAS LOVED BY MANY AND HATED BY NONE IN THE VA/DC.MD AREA. TIME PASSED... TEAM DEMOLITION INTRODUCED NAILS TO J-SCRILLA (FORMERLY KNOWN AS DJ HI-C) OF THE GROUP GUNZ N BUTTA. J-SCRILLA LOVED NAILS'S WORDPLAY AND TALENT AND THE DAY AFTER THE TWO MET, THEY RECORDED THEIR FIRST OF MANY SONGS TOGETHER. NAILS WAS FEATURED ON THE RANSAK COMPILATION MIXTAPE CALLED "PRESSURE POINTS" WITH THE SONG CALLED "SMOOTH INDIVIDUAL",WHICH WAS A CLASSIC TO MANY IN THE METROPOLITAN AND OTHER CITIES AS WELL. NAILS THAN BEGAN TO FORMAT THE BLUEPRINT OF HIS LP, CONSISTING OF 18-22 SONGS CALLED : "HAINES ST. HYMNS" (ALL PRODUCED BY J-SCRILLA AND GORBACHOPS OF GUNZ N BUTTA). UNDERGROUND CLASSICS SUCH AS " SEARCHIN HIGH, SEARCHING LOW, DREAM GIRL, AND A FEW MORE WERE ONLY THE BEGINNING FOR THIS STILL HUNGRY TILL THIS DAY EMCEE TO BLESS THE EARS OF TRUE HEADS OF THE ARTFORM. AFTER SOME YEARS, NAILS MOVED BACK TO HIS HOMETOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. WHEN NAILS MOVED BACK HOME, HE STARTED GOING DOWNTOWN TO A STROEW CALLED UPTOWN FLAVA. BEING IN THAT CIRCLE (WHEN THE BOOTH USE TO BE THERE), HE RAN INTO A ILL PRODUCER BY THE NAME OF MASTERMIND (ONE OF THE ILLEST IN PHILLY), WHO INTRODUCED ME TO A PRODUCER BY THE NAME OF RAIN (AINT NOBODY FUCKIN WIT U NIGGA.. THE ESSENCE... IT AINT DONE YET). OFF THE NAME RAIN, NAILS WAS LIKE..SHIT I KNOW HE GOTTA BE ILL.. AND DAMN IT IT WAS DA TRUTH. RAIN AND NAILS LATER ON THAT WEEK MET UP AND VIBED OUT OVER SOME NEWPORTS,BEATS AND RHYMES.. AND COMPILED A SONG CALLED: "GMC" WHICH STANDS FOR GREAT MINDS CONNECTED. RAIN AND NOW RIGHT AFTER THEIR FIRST SESSION, WHICH ONLY LASTED 10 MINUTES OF RECORDING TIME... STARTED WORKING ON THEIR GROUP ALBUM... WHICH MAY I SAY IS NOT A GAME. SOME TIME AFTER THAT,A FRIEND BY THE NAME OF JADY EXPERIENCE (OF TEAM DEMOLITION) STILL KEPT IN TOUCH WITH NAILS AND INTRODUCED HIM TO A PRODUCER BY THE NAME OF BEAR ONE (OF THE CONTROLFREAKS). NAILS MET UP WITH BEAR ONE, RECIEVED HIS OPEN ARMS AS A YOUNG HUNGRY NIGGA TRYING TO GET HIS WORK DONE AND MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF. SOMETIME PASSED BY... NAILS CAME BACK FROM AFRICA, AND IT WAS A WRAP. HE THEN CONTACTED BEAR ONE ONCE AGAIN AND SET UP A MEETING TO GIVE HIM A TASTE OF WHAT HE'S BEEN WORKING ON SINCE HIS RETURN. BEAR ONE LOVED IT AND INSTANTLY SET UP AN OFFICIAL MEETING FOR NAILS TO COME THRU AND GET STARTED ON A SPECTACULAR JOURNEY WHICH IS STILL GOING TILL THIS DAY. BEAR ONE AND NAILS HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW AND MANY OF PROJECTS. I DONT HOLD MY SELF TO KNOW CREW CUZ I BUILD WIT EVERYBODY...
