About Me

I am hip hop 4 life. As a fan I respect the pioneers, who brought this music to my north philly block. As a performer, and artist, I only hope to make a significant contribution to the game. If I can add anything to the culture, without taking away from it, I will have been successful in my plight. I'm happy with my underground success. I've performed @ The Legendary Uptown Theater before they closed their doors, did radio promos for Power 99fm's "Hotboys Show", appeared in the "Early in the game" video with Freeway and Naam Brigade, debuted my cd "Who is he" in the spring of 2002, and in 2003 the official mix tape "Call Me Lefty". From 2003-2006 I traveled as a featured guest with the Darryl Ray Band. Through these performances, I appeared as the only rapper @ the 2006 Trenton Jazz Festival. In 2007 I cofounded Blak Cadre Reacords llc. As of late I've been performing regionally with my own set of musicians. Live music may be my niche. I continue to grind, and thank you for your support. Mainstream success is welcomed, but is not a priority @ 30+ I understand the unwritten rules of the industry. Rules however are meant to be broken! I'm comitted to continuing to rap for the LOVE OF HIP HOP!!!
