About Me

St8 from V.A. Beach/Norfolk. Born to make MUSIC, REAL GOOD MUSIC. I make my own beats and write my own lyrics. Those beats and lyrics that take you there (wheres there?) where you need to be, trust me on this one. I started doing this in around the 3rd grade. My cuzins, Ray and Ced' soon after became captured by the music. They now make up The Pledge Empire. Our cuzin Jem was already spittin' as well. Me and Jem put some joints out (ahead of our time). Now um on some solo type stuff, but my Fam will always be featured on songs. Um in Love with GOD, undaground Rock, ol' school Jazz, and Reeaal Hip-Hop-e. I operate outta the Emergency Room studio for the simple fact that MUSIC is suffering right now. Myself, The Pledge, and the bros. from Team Balco are here to change that. Just call me Dr. Madblood a.k.a Dr. Mindbender. (sinister like)HAAAHAAHAAaaaaaaa!!!

Life itself

We all need a break from life, for the simple fact that its a daily task.  But its not like we just die off for a few days and come back when we see fit to.  Thats to easy but yet impossible...
