About Me

Beataroundabush show 12/13/08

JAYARE- Ive been producing music since 92' writing rhymes since 92....drew and me have been spitting together since 95. Ive been in radio since 94. Ive loved hip hop since 1980. No one in the country is more of an expert on this music and culture than I am. period. I live it, I love it, its me....Fuck you if you dont understand.

DREW-I remember laying out on my mother's floor listenin to old motown records in a prescription drug induced stupor for hours every night in junior high school. My parents finally let me get my first rap tape (yes tape). It was L.L. Cool J with songs like I'm Bad and Kandy. It was over from there. I been writing for as long as I can remember and I used to throw all my work away. Jayare actually introduced the concept of keeping it. Now flash forward 5...10...15...okay hella years, and count me in. But wait till yall hear me get serious about it.
