It's A.R.S.O.N. The "Assassin" (And President) of the Dark Clan Records (It's my job to make hits). I write my own lyrics (F*** a ghost), I make my own beats (I'm A.R.S.O.N., of course they hot), and I got my own style (bitters can try to come close but they can never quite capture da trends Im settin'). I grew up in South Central Los Angeles (or "Dark Town" as we call it). It's a f***** up place, but I can honestly say I had a good child hood though. I had two loving parents that made me a spoiled brat and tried to give me everything they never had. Life was good. That is until s*** rolled down hill around the time I was eleven yrs old. "Moms turned crack fiend, Pops was a Workaholic/ I'm stuck in the middle, I don't even know what to call it". Those two bars pretty much explain how things started gettin'. My Pops couldn't help my emotionally damaged Mother and her erratic mood swings, so he decided it would be best to keep it pushin' and move out. I had the opportunity to go, but I wanted to stay and try to see if could reach my Mom and maybe her love for me would make her stop the drug abuse (HA! like I had a chance. DOPE AIN'T NO JOKE!). So then it was me and a junkie. My Pops tried to help the best he could, but it was difficult tryin to maintain two households. So I was basically on a diet consisting of ice, saltine crackers, and ketch up packets (times were hard as hell!). I was fed up and alone and had to start learning how to fend for myself. That's when I started runnin' with the wrong pack of wolves. I was so happy to be accepted I was doin anything I could just to prove my loyalty (I don't think that was for the best). Lucky for me, I took notes from the "Old Heads" and learned from some of my ignorant associates, what not to do while you doin' dirt. I haven't been in jail one time and I'm proud of it (since when was gettin' locked up trendy??). I started transforming into a person that I didn't even like. It made me sick just to look in the mirror sometimes. My feelings went numb and I just stopped caring about nothing else but "Business". Then I started losing a lot of people in my life that meant a lot to me due to petty violence and stupidity. I started to really see what kind of society we really live in. This world is a harsh place (no one said life would be easy). I realized I was gettin' reckless and headin' on a path of self-destruction. So how do you stop a beast??? Contain him. I felt it was time to examine my life and contemplate what my next moves were goin' to be. I isolated myself and cut off the world for a while tryin to get rid of the "other side" of me (it's still there, I just have control of it now). During that time I started writing to get out my rage and frustration. It became a creative method of venting for me. I then started to listen to music more in depth. Then I met my Neighbor/Mentor/CEO COOL' P.M.C. who taught me how to structure my thoughts and make songs from them. Once I learned that and started developin' my own style, I started makin my own beats (the first song I ever recorded was on a beat I made by myself). Then it just seemed like the music became a part of me and I knew that would be my new life. I can never escape my past, but with my music it feels like a fresh start for me. Some say I could possibly be the future of Hip-Hop (all I can do is crack a smile at that). I still remain humble while I strive to improve my lyrical skills and performance. I just wanna make good music and do somethin' I love (the money and groupies are just a bonus). I'm Ridin' with Dark Clan now. Looks like the "Assassin" got lots of hits to make.
