THE MAN CALLAHAN IS A EMCEE/PRODUCER FROM OUTSIDE THE D.C. BORDER. I STARTED WRITING AT THE AGE OF 10, BUT I DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUS UNTIL I WAS 13 WITH MY HOMIE MARVIN. WE MEET IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. I WOULD RAP AND HE WOULD SING REGGAE AND RAP. WHEN I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL I MEET EMCEE'S THAT BECOME FAMILY;
CALVIN ,JOHNNY,AND VINICENT JOINED MARVIN AND ME IN THE CYPHER, SPITTING FREESYTLES EVERYDAY BEFORE SCHOOL.WE ALWAYS HAD FUN BATTLING EACHOTHER,OR SPITTING A WRITTEN RAP--THOSE TRULY ARE DAYS I NEVER WILL FORGET.
DURING HIGH SCHOOL MY TEAM, THANKS TO CALVIN, MEET BORN INFINITE, KNOWN BACK THEN AS CROSS, AND THOMAS, A EMCEE AND PRODUCER. BORN AND THOMAS HAD THERE OWN GROUP,BUT WE ALL DECIDED TO FORM ONE BIG ASS GROUP CALLED THIRD EYE DYNASTY.
WE RECORDED A DEMO TOGETHER BUT IT NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR US.
THOMAS DECIDED HE DID NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF OUR GROUP SO HE WENT HIS OWN WAY, BUT BORN REMAINED IN THE GROUP AND WE ALL DECIDED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE GROUP TO L.D.A.(LAST DAY APOSTLES).
NOW EVERYONE IS IN COLLEGE AND L.D.A. LEADER, BORN, IS AT AMERICAN UNVERSITY MAKING A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS. HE MET HIS DORM ROOM FREIND, CHRIS, WHO IS AN INSPRING YOUNG PRODUCER WHO LOVED BORN'S LYRICS SO THEY GOT TOGETHER AND MADE BORN'S FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 1999. I REMEMBER THAT ALBUM WAS OFF THE HOOK! THERE WAS SO MUCH TALENT BORN HAD WITH HIS KNOWLENGE ABOUT THE WORLD-- HE IS AN EMCEE AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
IN THE YEAR 2000, I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEW MEMBER I WOULD LATER CALL FAMILY. I MEET FIRST BORN ,YUNG WAR, GODFATHER SAGE, DOM CON, MISCELLANEOUS FLUX AND DEBORAH BOND AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT THE TALENT THAT WOULD MOLD ME INTO THE PERSON I AM TODAY. GODFATHER SAGE AND FIRSTBORN, STILL TODAY, ARE MY FAVORITE PRODUDERS.
SO NOW OUR GROUP IS LIKE 15 DEEP. WE ALL PUT IN EFFORT TO COME TOGETHER TO L.DA.'S FIRST ALBUM, "144,44,1000" WHICH WAS THE HOTTEST SHIT I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF. THE BEATS AND THE LYRICS WERE INCREDIBLE! EVERYONE WAS ON POINT. WE DID SHOWS AROUND THE AREA OPENING FOR DE LA SOUL SHOW AT THE AMPATHEATER AT AMERICAN UNVERSITY.
AS THE YEARS WENT BY, EVERYONE SEEMED TO SPLIT UP AND DO SOLO PROJECTS. WHILE BORN STARTED WORKING WITH FIRST BORN AND GODFATHER SAGE, YUNG WAR, C.FELTON AND MYSELF STARTED WORKING ON THE SOUL REBELS PROJECT. 420,CALVIN ,VINCENT AND MARVIN ALL FOCUS ON SOLO STUFF OR FOCUS ON SCHOOL. DOM CON, MISCELLANEOUS FLUX AND DEBORAH BOND ARE BUSY RECORDING AND PREFORMING SHOWS EVERY WEEK. WE ALL STAY IN CONTACT AND SEE EACHOTHER AT SHOWS.
OUR GROUP THE, SOUL REBELS, WOULD MEET IN BALTIMORE AT FIRST BORN'S STUDIO, OR FELTON'S CRIB IN TOWSON TO WRITE FOR THE ALBUM BUT THAT BECAME HARD FOR US ALL TO MEET DUE TO OUR SCHEDULES. SO WE PUT OUT AN EP' THAT CONSISTS OF MAJORITY OF YUNG WAR'S SONGS BUT HAD THE CLASSIC JAM "EVERYDAY MUSIC" WHICH WAS IN OUR EYES IS A SERIOUS RADIO BANGER. WE PROFORM AT LOCAL SPOTS, AND WENT TO HARLEM TO PROFORM IN A SHOWCASE AT LUCY'S LOUNGE WERE WE ROCKED THE HOUSE.
DUE TO ARE SCHEDULES TODAY, EVERYONE'S BUSY WITH WORK AND SOLO CAREERS. IT BECAME AGAIN HARD TO MEET. SO I STARTED MAKING BEATS AND WORKING ON A SOLO ALBUM OF OLD AND NEW SONGS CALLED "THE CAUSE AND EFFECT." MY FRIEND C.FELTON AND I ARE WORKING TO MAKE THE FULL LENGTH LP OF THE SOUL REBELS WHICH IS COMING SOON!!!!!!
