CHEEF LONGTOOTH.......
In the late 1980's I began learning any instrument I could get my hands on.
I was able to become familiar with violin, trumpet, acoustic & electric, drums, fretless bass instruments, and many international hand drums sets.
In the early 1990's I was mainly absorbed in writing, which culminated with a few stories being published in some local magazines. I mostly wrote in prose and other variants using iambic pentameter to bring melody and rhythm into my pieces.
In the late 1990's I began spinning records as a local DJ, under the moniker of Product. I mainly was hosting battles, and doing college radio stuff. At the same time, I started producing for a ton of cats using some simple looping software that was even then pretty archaic. I wrote a few tracks and performed a few shows, but it was mostly to back up the same team I was producing for. By this time I had about three years in production and had released three albums.
Insert war and divorce here. In no specific order.
Seven years later, you can find me doing plenty of nothing but the same. Sitting back, producing for people I'm feeling who are about peace and stuff.
I decided to put an album out of all my original production and international and national emcees doing their thing on them. Its titled, 'THE GREEN ALBUM.' I had it slated for December release, but... You already know. The new release date is March 17th, 2007. St. Patricks Day, also my fathers b-day.
Once I began that project I also recorded S.O.L.O.'s sophmore album, Dazed and Confused. You can locate him @ myspace.com/soloontherise
I began recording for the following album, CHEEF AND THE NATIVES. This includes a few tracks by me on some of SOLO's production as well a more concentrated BSPRO TEAM effort.
I have been up and down on my dedication to this album as I AM recording my solo effort, titled, 'NATIVE.' this has a release date set for April 20 2007, my birthday. Be on the lookout for downloads and such as i ramp up for three releases in 07 at least.
