Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!Music is a universal language. Its something everyone understands. Its something everyone can relate to. Everyone loves to sing along with their favorite songs on the radio, the block or wherever. There are those that love do the music and there are those who ARE the music. Its in their blood...in their soul. People like this are very rare. Enter in SugaKayne. Born Sha Kevin Aondoakaa Uvah in Makurdi, Nigeria on September 25th, 1980 to 2 students, he was exposed to music at a very early age. Hip Hop wasnt even known in Africa at that time so he grew up listening to soul R&B such as Shirley Murdock, Gladys Knight, Teddy Pendergrass, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, etc. Moving to Champaigne-Urbana, Illinois in 1984 he experienced a very quiet childhood being kept away from bad influences of his rough neighborhood by his immigrant parents. He was just like every other kid: loved music and the growing genre of music know as HIP HOP or rap music. The new genre was a way for people to put words together to a beat and move the crowd. He took a liking to the music listening to such artists and dj's such as BUSY BEE, KURTIS BLOW, RUN DMC, LL COOL J, KOOL MOE DEE, KRS ONE, RAKIM and so forth. Like every other kid he would freestyle with friends outside and people began to take notice of his ability with words and his ability to get a reaction from the crowd with his punchlines. Around the time that BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY came out in 1994, while in Pensacola, FL, he began to harmonize some of his music. Not as well as them but he definitely noticed he had a talent to harmonize but his only problem was that he didnt want anyone to know this was something he liked to do on his own. Upon graduating from high school in 1998 he went to college at the University of West Florida. He ran across a group of guys from Brick City, New Jersey (Newark) and began to tag along with them. At this time of his life he went through an identity crisis trying to find himself. He questioned everything from his catholic religion to the clothes he wore, switching from Polo and Hilfiger to Mecca and Fubu. The only thing that remained consistent was his love for the music. As he was around the group from New Jersey he began to really understand the Hip Hop genre in depth and started paying attention to lyrical skill and clever word play. He still practiced on his harmonizing but now began to craft his lyrical ability. For this he called on one of his closest friends. She was a dj in Hattiesburg, Mississippi named Imani. A muslim girl who had a love for not just Hip Hop, but music in general just like he did. In mid 1999 he decided that this was something he actually wanted to do with his life. He began to work with Imani to sharpen his lyrical skill and at the same time studying some of the greats of the last few years such as Wu-Tang Clan, BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY, REDMAN, HELTAH SKELTAH, SCARFACE, SNOOP, NAS, JAY-Z, OUTKAST, NOTORIOUS B.I.G, GOODIE MOB, DR.DRE and especially 2PAC. He was very drawn to 2Pac's stage presence, delivery and versatility; jumping from a track such as "Brenda's Got A Baby" or "Trapped" to "Hit Em Up" and "I Get Around". He wasnt accepted by many crowds already so he kept his desire to do music to himself still until summer 2000 when he decided to quit. Imani had been shot and killed while in Connecticut. This being his only lifeline for music and the only person who believed he could do it. Now she was gone and he didnt see the need to proceed. Between 2000 and 2003 he picked up many bad habits and wrong crowds. He picked up boxing and hung on to that for about 3 years until he went to jail in 2003 for 6 months. While in jail he had a dream and, as he says, "spoke to Imani". The next day he picked up a pencil and began penning lyrics that would later become songs such as "Ride On Em", "1 Yaself" and the title track to his debut "Evolution". Upon his release he began to work frantically with his cousin Knowledge in Chicago to begin the early stages of the $krilla $quad, which would later add Bree and Teysu. Working with super producers Vay $ and Priceless seperately he began to find the sound that Imani was helping him look for. He began doing shows around the Southern region even going to perform in Houston for the 2006 NBA All-Star Weekend. Now putting the finishing touches on his debut, EVOLUTION 8006, he has built up a buzz around the whole southern region and is looking to take it to the next level. Nicknamed "Crown'd Prince of Hip Hop" because of his love for the music and being a descendant of the Kings of the game he is truely a legend in the making. Also nicknamed "Trackwrecker" for his ablity of mixing sharp, witty lyrics with good subject matter and meshing that with melodic, catchy hooks. Its only a matter of time before this legend in the making moves out of the stage of making and becomes just.........A LEGEND
