About Me

"WRITER, POET, AND EMCEE, MC TAY PERSONIFIES THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF HIP HOP"."SINCE BACK WHEN MOST CATS WAS STILL SITTIN IN MOMS LAP", MC TAY HAS BEEN WRITING, RECORDING AND PERFORMING FOR AUDIENCES NATIONWIDE. WITH INFLUENCES THAT RANGE FROM KRS-ONE TO BIG DADDY KANE TO TUPAC SHAKUR, HIS SERIOUS WRITING SKILLS HAVE BEEN PERFECTED WITH THE RIGHT BLEND OF TONE AND DELIVERY TO GIVE YOU AN EXPLOSIVE COMBINATION RARELY SEEN IN ANY ARTIST IN ANY GENRE OF MUSIC.RAISED IN A RELIGIOUS FAMILY, MC TAY'S MUSICAL BACKGROUND CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE CHURCH.WHETHER IT WAS SINGING IN THE CHOIR, PLAYING SAXAPHONE AND CLARINET SOLOS, OR JUST LISTENING TO HIS MOTHER SING SOLOS AT MANY CHURCHES AROUND THE DETROIT METROPOLITAN AREA, HIS MUSICAL BACKGROUND IS DEEPLY AND SPIRITUALLY ROOTED. AFTER GAINING NOTORIETY AND LOCAL FAME BY PERFORMING TALENT SHOWS AND PARTIES IN HIGH SCHOOL, IT WAS OFF TO THE MILITARY FOR MC TAY, WHERE HE WOULD CONTINUE TO AMAZE EVERYONE WITH HIS RHYMING ABILITIES AND SMOOTH FLOW. FROM CALIFORNIA TO VIRGINIA TO MARYLAND, EVERYONE WANTED TO KNOW WHO WAS THE GUY WITH THAT VOICE AND A STAGE PRESENCE LIKE NO OTHER.AFTER MOVING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MC TAY EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO BECOME THE MOST COMPLETE ARTIST OF OUR GENERATION.IT WAS WHEN HE MET TOSHA LOVE OF V-103 IN ATLANTA THAT PEOPLE REALLY BEGAN TO TAKE NOTICE OF HIS IMMENSE TALENT. RADIO APPEARANCES AND BIGGER SHOWS, INCLUDING BEING HEARD EVERY WEEKEND ON THE "IN THE LOUNGE WITH LOVE" HIP HOP SHOW (WHICH WAS THE NUMBER ONE HIP HOP SHOW IN ATLANTA) WERE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.RAISED BY HIS GRANDMOTHER, TAY DECIDED TO RETURN TO PONTIAC MICHIGAN TO HELP CARE FOR HER IN HER DECLINING YEARS, AMIDST PEOPLE WONDERING ALOUD HAD HE MADE A CRUCIAL MISTAKE BY LEAVING A BLOSSOMING CAREER TO RETURN HOME. BUT TO THE SURPRISE (AND DISMAY) OF MANY, MC TAY BOUNCED RIGHT BACK. TEAMING UP WITH HIS ORIGINAL RHYME CREW WHO WERE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT THE BEST AT WHAT THEY WERE DOING. WILL BLACK WENT FROM A SUPERIOR EMCEE TO BECOME ONE OF THE BEST PRODUCERS IN THE COUNTRY, HANDS DOWN, AND UNCLE P WAS NOW THE HEAD OF A POWERFUL MUSICAL ORGINAZATION HE FOUNDED AND COLLECTIVELY, THEY COULDN'T BE TOUCHED.WITH THE RELEASE OF "BELIEVE", MC TAY'S FOURTH ALBUM BUT FIRST RELEASE SINCE RETURNING HOME, THERE WAS NO DENYING THAT HE IS TRULY ONE OF A KIND. ACTUALLY, AN "MC TAY AND WILL BLACK CLASSIC" PRODUCED LYRICAL SKILLS AT IT'S FINEST AND TRACK FOR TRACK, THE BEST PRODUCTION THROUGHOUT AN ALBUM YOU'LL HEAR. WITH GUEST PRODUCERS LIKE UNCLE P AND KEITH "BUBBY" WEBB AND DUCADO "DUKE" VEGA PLAYING LIVE GUITAR, THIS ALBUM WAS DEFINITELY DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. EMCEES LIKE MOE DIRDEE, REUB, UNC P, A.P., OLLIE BOX, LIL TIMMY, R.B., NUTT AND J MARV BROUGH RHYMES THAT HAS MADE EACH OF THEM FEARED AND RESPECTED EMCEE'S IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. MIX ALL OF THAT INTO ONE AND YOU HAVE AN ALBUM THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST AND ONE EMCEE WHO WILL STAND ALONE.MC TAY
