What was your Dad doing when he was 26? He was probably working a good job taking care of the family, right? Underground rapper FLUID Outrage will have a different story to tell his kids! While they were sleeping in their cribs Daddy was on the grind in the studio, pumping out hot tracks.
This native of Ca$hville has been a hip-hop head from day one. Growing up, FLUID Outrage listened to NWA, Big Daddy Kane, Tupac, Nas and Jay-Z. He pays homage to his roots stating, “Southern rap legends were an important part of my development, especially Rap-a-Lot and Suave House.†He has always wanted to be involved with music. FLUID Outrage is talent combined with business savvy. He attended Trevecca University on a basketball scholarship where he majored in Music Business. His education sparked a fire into a flame when he decided to start his own record label. FLUID Outrage is a founding member of Bang Out Entertainment, a record label headed by his cousin Tony “Montana†Watkins. The multi-talented FLUID writes his own lyrics, creates his own beats and engineers his own studio sessions. His first mix tape blazed the streets in 2004 with the release of Plan. Plot, Strategize…Bomb First: Vol. 1 hosted by Jones. FLUID followed up with a joint venture album with Knoxville’s Paperman, label CEO of THE R.O.B. to form the duo, Mob State. With the critical acclaim of his releases, FLUID kept it going and dropped Bang Out Radio Vol. 1: We Go Hard with DJ Red. FLUID burns the candle at both ends and earned production credits on DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz cut “Welcome to the Trapâ€. The underground Mixtape features Ca$hville, Tenn-A-Key’s own Young Buck, a prominent member of G-Unit.
On December 15, 2006, FLUID Outrage will release his greatest lyrical creation to date, Soundtrack to Da' Grind Vol. 1: 36 Fluid Ounces hosted by Tim “Kamillian†Hill.
FLUID produced the project himself with the help of guest producers Tim “Kamillian†Hill, Fate Eastwood, Mike G, Dello, KP, Chad West, M. Slade, & Killamesia. He delivers lyrical blows--sudden, blunt, and ruthless--without forgetting the importance of a powerful hook to seduce the listener into his murky world, particularly on the first hot single “Get Your Hustle Up.†FLUID describes the song as “Motivation for everyone to step their game up, no matter what you doing, it’s time to step it upâ€. The second single is “Everytime I Come Thru†featuring Young Buck, produced by Fate Eastwood. This track pays respect to Houston’s own hero DJ Screw. It’s sure to be a Dirty South club banger. And, he has one for the ladies with “Move Ya Body.â€
FLUID plans to continue working the rites of passage for only true emcees: the Mixtape circuit. Look out for the Soundtrack to Da' Grind Vol. 2: Scalez & Sandwich Bagz hosted by DJ Don Juan and Vol. 3: Front Door Service hosted by DJ Red.
