My name is Shelah. I am the founder of Chaos Of The Mind Int’l, a company that I am looking to incorporate as a premiere Production and songwriting base. I have several ideas and names that I am wishing to Patent and Copyright. Those are to be named later once the aforementioned has been settled. This is a little about myself, and the rest will be explored with the release of my first attempted album for public listening. It started years ago in Hempstead, N.Y. on a sunny afternoon in May of 1985. It, the assuming responsibility of creating the perfect songs and messages for the people. I made a tape of myself freestyling over a few beat breaks and Run-DMC and Slick Rick tracks. At that time, Hip-Hop was a rare flower in bloom and not everybody could get the flow. I, on the other hand, had no troubles with it and loved what I heard on that tape that mysteriously disappeared just as quick as I had recorded, lost it, and found again. This was the time when Rakim and Chuck D and Public Enemy were making their statements from, what I call Long Island, The Homebase. These icons, figures of magnificence with words of freedom, were pounding thoughts into the feeble minded individuals who took the art of rapping as a joke. They said it wouldn’t last, those hacklers and vicious puppeteers of infidelity. HipHop has surpassed the serpents fangs!I came into the picture with my first show after high school and years of hearing people say go for the realistic goals. And my question was, "What are realistic goals to you?" Would you believe a lot of answers that came were surreal, but, at that time I had no interest in being what other people wanted me to be. I wanted to accomplish the feat of performing for people, keeping them happy, sad, overall emotional. My first show was at the annual Juneteenth festival thrown by James "Pop" Rudd and his sons, one of which I knew very well from school. I had no idea, nor did they, of the knowledge that we were family. I found out when my cousin Gale said to Jimmy (Jr), "Why don’t you put your cousin in the show?" After that response, we all stared at one another and said, "WE are fam?". Jimmy, right then and there said, "You got the opening spot for the main act". He also made me know that if I screwed up, there would not be another chance for me, so I got busy that Saturday evening in June of 1991. The opening act that night was a couple of locals, Bonnie and Clyde, those two (2) females from Terminator X’s, Valley of the Jeep Beats project. The main act was a fellow by the name of Groovy Lou from Uptown. I must say that was one hell of an event. There was another performance coup there called, Astra Touch. They were an African/Soul sort of band that danced, sang, and really showed that they had the faith to move through the music world. I guess it never happened.The next near was even more remarkable. I had the time of my life in 1992. This was the year the Fu-Schnickens performed at Juneteenth, and this year it was at Roy Wilkens park in Queens. What made it especially nice was the fact we built the stage of wood and things. I met the Weather Girls and they wanted to steal me from everybody else. I had great relations with the wife of the President of Channel 44 back then which was one of the rival stations to Video Music Box with the coolest host ever, Ralph McDaniels. Channel 44 had Bobby Simmons and a few special guests here and there when ever Bobby was away. Anyway, that was the best year because, I had cameras on me, a female dancer that I picked up that day of the show. I have and will always be about new talent. If I see and I like it, I get it. The show came later that night when the Fu-Schnickens had arrived and it was really time to party and have fun. I was on the stage in the background when they were performing. T-Money (Ed Lover and Dr. Dre’s boy) was there as well, he even gave me a business card and tried to hang with me and a couple of the cuties from an African-American dance troop that had performed earlier that afternoon. It was great, we signed autographs and took pictures and, WOW! The weeks leading up too this huge event were absolutely mind- blowing! We were all over the place, passing out and hanging up flyers. We were down at the Muse when Das Efx had their album Release party. I saw YoYo, Eazy E, Tim Dog, Queen Mother Iciss and my homegirl, Queen Iasia, whom started her career with Public Enemy. I worked in the same studio PE worked in as well. Full Moon Productions, built by George Marshall in Merrick, Long Island. Also, there at the Muse were A Tribe Called Quest, Busta and many other rappers and performers. Right then and there, I really knew that this is where I needed to be.My cousin Roland Rudd passed away a few months later and stuff was tough for all of us. I kept going with the music and as years came and went, relationships and fights, aggravation, no family love and wars and crooked politicians and.......Hold on. I am sorry, let me get back to how the music has saved my life. Music was there for me, so , Why can’t I be there for her? I traveled around looking for the right sign, the right sounds, and most importantly the right people. I worked with DJ Clash (Momma said knock you out), Tony Moore, formerly of Motown and a few others. We just couldn’t get the stuff together. Everyone was having financial troubles, even the cats that had hits out! That was both sad and embarrassing.In 1996, I later inturn took my cousin Marcus L. Mason under my wings and helped him with his career. He would always freestyle around me and I said to him, why don’t you do it for real? He did and here came the problems again with family and others that I felt needed to be dealt with, but, I kept it calm and let it go. I found myself to be bigger than applying physical pain, I’d rather mentally, the scar can last forever. With the help of my cousin, Ronald Malik Mason, the brother of Marcus, Marcus and his boys Supremacee put out a couple of singles for some compilations and they performed in Toronto, Canada with Busta and a few others that year in 1998 or something like that. I picked up my own female rapper by the name of Nakeda Williams from Hempstead and of course, I had my brothers and everyone else in the hood involved with the music. I was the "neighborhood" beat maker. I was known as Pat-Beats. I was also the emergency barber for the hood. Need a cut, get the official Pat Cut as my boy Chinua Jones always said. It might not have always come out official, but it worked.That is just some of the influences that I had on people. I stuck to the music because that is what I know, besides cooking. I have also done twelve (20) shows in Europe. I am a man that has been through the muck and mire, bobwires and walked from the most stressful tests of life. Now, I am in the greatest test of all, releasing music from the past ten (10) years and raising my family. And those around me, I am educating to love the music and LOVE THE WORLD.I love everybody and I wish that the world could be a little better at loving each other.ONE!!!
