ISH AKA ISH BLACK AKA BIG BROTHA AKA FLAMEZ AKA SMACK THE DEVIL!!, ([email protected]) IS 1 OF THE PREMIERE ARTIST OF THIS "3H: HOLY HIPHOP" MOVEMENT. HE HAS BEEN 1 OF THE MOST EXPLOSIVE LYRICIST FOR SUCH INDY GROUPS SUCH AS "L.A.F.", F.I.G.A. PHAM, BLACK ICE AND SO .. RUNNING FROM HIS DESTINY FOR SO MANY YRS. AND RECORDING SECULAR HIP HOP, HE FINALLY CAME TO A SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST AND NOW EVERY WORD, LYRIC, METAPHOR AND PUNCH LINE IS FOR GOD'S GLORY AND FOR THE UPLIFTING OF THE KINGDOM... BUT DONT GET IT TWISTED!! HE STILL GOT THAT FIRE!!! ISH HAS BEEN DOING HIS THING SINCE THE AGE OF 5, GROWING UP IN A TALENTED HOME WHERE HIS MOTHER WAS AND IS A SINGER AND HIS FATHER, R.I.P., WAS ALSO A SINGER AND AN EXTRAORDINARY WRITER, SO AS YOU CAN SEE MUSIC IS IN HIS D.N.A. ISH, @ THE AGE OF 12 ATTENDED THE WORLD FAMOUS NEWARK BOYS CHORUS SCHOOL, WHERE HE WOULD LAND AUDITIONS FOR BROADWAY PLAYS, COUNTLESS PERFOMANCES, A SOLID FOUNDATION IN MUSIC AS A WHOLE AND A WELL GROOMED SINGING VOICE- YEAH, BET YOU DIDNT KNOW HE COULD BLOW! OVER THE YRS. ISH ALSO BECAME A MEMBER OF HIS CHURCH CHOIR, THE H.N. FOY JOY ENSEMBLE OF THE EMMANUEL CHURCH OF CHRIST D.O.C. ISH DIDNT KNOW IT THEN BUT THIS CHURCH WOULD BE THE SETTING FOR GOD'S DEPOSIT IN HIS LIFE THAT WOULD IN THE FUTURE, GUIDE HIM BACK HOME.
www.hostdrjack.comBUT EVEN THEN HE KNEW THAT SINGING, THOUGH RATHER GOOD @ IT, WASNT HIS PASSION. TOWARDS THE LATTER PART OF HIS TEENAGE YRS, ISH BEFRIENDED ANOTHER MC BY THE NAME OF DESHAWN H. AKA KAMILLEON THE OFFICIAL, WHO ALSO SHARED THE SAME PASSION FOR HIP HOP THAT ISH DID AND THRU THIS MUSICAL UNION THE GROUP LAF (LA FAMILLIA) WAS BIRTHED. LAF CONSIST OF MCs, FLAMEZ(ISH), KAMILLEON, K-KASH, K-SINO, PEZE, HUSTLE MAN, ZUES, YOUNG MEL FLINT AND THE 1ST LADY OF LAF, MIKOS. LAF WAS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL THE HIP HOP YOU NOW HEAR AND ENJOY FROM ISH. AFTER SO MANY DEGREES OF SEPERATION WITH LAF, ISH SIGNED TO FP(FIGA PHAM), THEN FROM THERE TO BLACK ICE AND AFTER A SPELL HE WAS BACK WITH FP. AFTER BEING WITH FP FOR SO LONG OFF AND ON, ISH WAS INTRUSTED WITH A CORPORATE SENIOR V.P. OF MARKETING POSITION IN ADDITION TO HIS ARTIST STATUS, HEADED BY MISUNDERSTOOD WHO WAS AND STILL IS CEO/PRESIDENT OF FP. AS TIME WENT ON ISH REALIZED THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAT HE WORE IN THE MUSIC FIELD, IT JUST WASNT GOING TO BE FOR FILLING AND ALONG WITH OTHER UNDISCLOSED REASONS HE SEPARATED NOT ONLY FROM FP BUT FROM MUSIC. SOON AFTER THE EVENTS ISH CAME TO A POINT IN HIS LIFE WHERE HE HAD BOTTOMED OUT, AND IN HIS DESPERATION HE REMEMBERED THE SEED OF GOD THAT HAD BEEN PLANTED IN HIM SO MANY YEARS AGO, AND WITH THESE THINGS IN MIND HE CRIED OUT TO THE FATHER "LORD SAVE ME!!!" AND.......... NOW OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, BEHOLD!!! ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW!!

Influences: ISH's STYLE IS MOSTLY INFLUENCED BY SECULAR ARTIST SUCH AS, NAS(his personal favorite), JAY-Z, TUPAC SHAKUR, DAS EFX, REDMAN, QUEEN LATIFAH, CL SMOOTH AND A HOST OF OTHERS, BUT HIS ABILITY TO DELIVER THE CONVICTION AND COMPASSION THROUGH HIS LYRICS AND PERFORMANCES CAN ONLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO HIS EXPERIENCES WITH CHRIST IN HIS LIFETIME AND HIS PERSONAL PROGRESSION IN LIFE. WE CANT FORGET THE IMPACT THAT THE VOICE OF GOD FOR HIS LIFE, PASTOR LAWRENCE POWELL OF AGAPE FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER (AGAPECENTER.ORG) HAS MADE ON ISH AND HIS FAMILY. WHAT AN ANNOITED MAN OF GOD PASTOR POWELL IS AND THANK GOD THAT YOU ARE WHO HE CALLED YOU TO BE, LESS THIS M.C. NAMED "ISH" WOULD STILL BE LIVING FOR THE ENEMY OR EVEN WORST.........
Sounds Like: A FUSION BETWEEN THE HOTTEST, HARDEST HIP HOP BEATS, SEASONED WITH R&B AND NEO SOUL, SPLASHED WITH A DASH OF TRADITIONAL GOSPEL, SMOTHERED WITH TIGHT BUT CATCHY "WORD" PLAY AND BAKED TO PERFECTION.
