About Me

Greetings and word up to all the masses. Much respect for entering into my domain. I would like to give thanks first and foremost to the holy creator His Imperial Majesty Jah Rastafari for instilling within me the talents and confidence to spread his message by using me as an instrument for his works. Music has been a apart of my life since I can remember. I began singing in a church choir with my brothers and sisters at a young. From there my mother who saw me and my siblings talents, encouraged us to form our own childrens group together. At the age of 13, me and my brothers formed our first Hip Hop crew "Inside Out". After my parents divorced I moved to the suburbs and I became disconnected with the Hip Hop for a couple of years. Although I was seperated from my first musical love, I found a new love for Jah's music, reggae. Reggae opened my mind to to the ways of of Rastafari. While studying abroad in South Africa in 2001 I rediscovered the true essence of Hip Hop by being exposed to Capetown's thriving underground culture. I got reacquainted with all five elements mcing, dee-jaying, graffitti, breaking, and beatboxing. I realized that these elements were lacking in mainstream hip hop and I had to help spread a concious message through preserving the culture. In early 2002 I helped form and became a member of the Libra Project (CHECK US OUT ON MYSPACE) I recently relocated from Boston to Southern California. Where I have met amazing artists and activists. Many of us have the common idea of spreading awareness on issues that are often ignored through our art forms, so we formed a non-profit group call ACTIVATE LA (You can also get a taste of our group on myspace) So big up to all my sisters and brothers coast to coast. Enjoy the evibes.Peace One Love and Rastafari
