About Me

I was born one of ten children, lived in Compton, CA till the age of 7. Then moved to Wilmington, CA where I still live. I started DJ-ing in Middle School. I taught myself how to scratch when I heard the record Grandmaster Flash on the wheels of steel. I started making mixtapes in the mid-80s. These mixtapes featured Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Ice Cube, Tone Loc, J.J. Fad, Young MC, DJ Quik, AMG, 2nd II None, & Hi-C. These tapes created a huge street buzz for me. In the late 80s I was introduced to production by Dr. Dre Since then I have produced and worked with Teena Marie, DJ Quik, AMG, 2nd II None, Hi-C, Lil Rob, Frost, Mellow man Ace, B Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill), Slow Pain, LawLess, Nino Brown, JV, Vero Del Rio, and the Hughes Brothers. I still continue to DJ and I'm currently working on a compilation that will be released later this year. I have also re-released all my Roadium Classic Mixtapes.
