About Me
Nimbus The General grew up in the hard streets of the concrete jungle in Steel City. A product of his environment, he started writing poetry at the age of 15. Early on people saw that he had a gift for writing. Music has always been a big influence in his life, not by his decisions, but as a way to escape and relate to the issues in his life. Writing and listening to music was an easy way to get his emotions out, to express what he was feeling without outwardy explaining it to anyone. At the age of 17 he tried spoken word. He was not used to writing to an instrumental, however with spoken word poetry it made it easier to catch a "flow" with his words and give the people something more interactive and capturing to listen to.
By the age of 19 Nimbus started writing actual songs and freestyling to prepare his mind for competitions. That same year, 1999, he was arrested and charged with felony gun charges. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, where he perfected his craft in battles and meeting the right people to make him more creative. Before then he didn't have a name. This is where Nimbus The General was born (thanks, Ronald Anderson). He went on to parole in 2004 undefeated in ALL rap battles whether on the yard or in the gym, on the unit or in the chow hall. With about 2 albums worth of songs he was finally ready to start making his life ambition become a reality. He lived in St. Louis for a couple of years, where he met Dubz and the E2TS crew. After meeting his wife and having his first son, he moved to Pennsylvania, where he currently resides. Still undefeated in ALL rap battles, he is currently booking shows in local areas and trying to record his first album, the title known only to a specific few people.

To wifey, who does all my networking, promoting, layout designs, etc. Without you I'd have just a plain page and no fans. You are very much a part of my inspiration. To Nu-Nu for being my rappie, in more ways than one. We did a bit together as cellies and STILL beasted on every new kat that claimed they was runnin' the joint. To JB for singing "Booty In My Face". That shit is FIYAH! For Calvin (AKA DJ Riddlah) for the raw talent. DJ R-Dubz and all of Missouri Mobile Productions/E2TS for still supporting The General even after the interview. Medaphore, for always being an inspiration in music. Jon (I STILL won't tell y'all a THING). You know what's good man, always a true friend. Tommy (AKA Nemonic) for STILL spittin' flame. Rez for makin' nasty rhymes and instrumentals (thanks MUMBLEFACE HAHAHAHA!). You know you get the most hate. HUGE thank you to BC (Keith AKA Sag Black, Gunz, Judy AKA Jae Cy). Y'all got it goin', and I SWEAR I'm coming up there to rock the stage with y'all.Shadow Black of Shadowland, Inc. Nearly every song on the page was recorded in his Torture Chamber! T.E.K. and everyone on Fly Starz, with whom we destroyed more than one artists career. You know what time it is! D-Bizz, Soselberg Tuck, GiGi, and all the WEMIX fam. Young Sinatra for DOIN' IT BIG up here in P-Town. To all my family for being supportive, because without family a man has nothing. And to Cliff of DC Entertainment, Queda, Joey Wellz, and everyone I've met along the way. To the girls from the Twilight Temptressez, for coming out to my shows, showing support, and being a part of the General's Army! BIG UPS to my FANS! Without the support of the fans there would be no MUSIC! Keep it playing and let me know what you think of the music ALWAYS!
Stay up,
Nimbus The General
