I am one guy, a fan and artist. A Producer, dj & emcee since a teen who use to call myself ZMC or DJZMC. I dj-ed in my bedroom for friends mostly & sometimes @ parties back then. I started recording by making mix tapes. Rhyming was for fun. I didn't start recording verses til the early 90's when I linked up with one of my best friends, Mikey MoMo

PINS-and-NEEDLES: Michael Morett & Myself. This was my very first Group/Project with Pins a.k.a. The White Russian on Beats/Production/Recording and also the rhymes
************************************************************
THE 13TH STEP : M.Morett, Z.Pagan, D.Ruscitti, M.Eastlack & M.Hannon
1996-1997 Back when Downset & Rage Against The Machine were the only established bands doing the Rap/Rock/Metal thing (Limp Bizkit was just coming out with their 3 song demo), we were doing ours. We wrote 2 songs, played 1 show and did a radio spot on a local station WNJC.1360AM that was hosted by The Soundwave. We hung out mostly and had fun getting into shit.
************************************************************
2SICFUXXX: Skeleton1 f.k.a. Assasinova & Needles/djz
Formed around 1998-1999. After The 13th Step ended Slack & I stayed in touch and deceide to join forces for a Hip-Hop Project. Inspired by all the things we loved & hated, we took the name to represent our talent & crass humor. To date we recorded a Demo LP called "Scum of the Earth" we've never released & few have heard and then our debut "Sick Stuff..." LP that we released and performed for the last 2 years.

THE SCUMBAGZ: Kernul Skum, Skumbag Exquisite & Skumshot.
3 old talented friends united in the name of HipHop, Humor & Horror. It wasn't long after 2SicFuxxx began that they did too. 3 Emcees, 2 Producers and Skills around. Now years later their debut cd is available while their 2nd is in the works.
************************************************************
HEROES IV HIRE: ZMC/Needles/djz & Inertia f.k.a. G.I.Joe
This is funny that I'm putting this up. This was a project/group one my best friends and I did long ago. He had never wrote rhymes or recorded & I was just learning digital recording & using my Electribe. We recorded a Demo LP called "Issue1 The Age of HipHopocrisy" that very few have heard.
************************************************************
TIGHT WHIGS: J.Mulligan & Needles f.k.a. HipHop Hitmen
Jeff and I first were on song together he produced for his old project The Skruff Monkeys called "Exclamation Marks" featuring Pins-and-Needles & Looney Tunes (White Wonder & Skooby Dum), then we recorded a terrible track together called "The first time" all during the Pins-n-Needles era. It was when Scumbagz were recording the "Perfect Gentlemen"LP that Jeff and I recorded our HipHopHitmen tracks. 2 songs later we deceide to change the name of the group to Tight Whigs a.k.a. Hung Fury a.k.a. Handlebar Eyebrows a.k.a. Assless Jeans a.k.a. Crochless Pants e.t.c. We performed quite few times and have some new demos in the mix

MORTAL SHELLZ MILLITIA: Esoge & Prolyfik
I met these brothers @ Tunes CDs, a great record store I use to work for. After Eso & I listened to each others beats we deceided to collab. First I gave them a beat Pro recorded "Last Rights" to, then I recorded a verse to a track called "The Aftermath". We've been brothers ever since. All over each others tracks and CDs.

C TEEZY a.k.a. Chuck Thomas
We meet through mutual friends. His honesty, talent and taste of muisc are what impressed me. I started out backing/Djing for him for his shows. Then we started recording. This is some of the best stuff I've ever heard from him. We have a couple of tracks as of now and hopefully more soon.
************************************************************
THE KNOMADZ: The Blak Lung & Divine Wise Eternal
I met Lung through Myspace, contacted him and so it began. Lung told me of his partner Divine and introduced me. Shortly after we began recording and doing shows together. To date you can peep thier "Eternal Play" EP featuring myself and be on the lookout for their first full length coming soon. These cats display flow, lyrics, talent and energy. Another favorite of mine. Check 'em out.

JOE BLOW: Like The Knomadz, I found Joe through Myspace. I often search through local artists and 1 day I found him. He had started a Music Profile and had a few Ruff tracks up that I listened to and enjoyed. I was impressed with his lyrics, talent, energy and ideas. I hit him up, he replyed, we met and the rest history. We have almost 4 songs done for his first LP and they're coming out Great. I Expect alot Great things from this guy in the near future.
