"we get mad love from our peeps around the way, but when we're away, rockin a crowd, we bless' em with a phat show full of skills and crazy energy!!" With words spoken straight tothe point from the artist himself NEW YORKS PHENOM AKA 12 GAGE! No dooubt, this is something fo the radio, but hold up, GAGE can also flip an ill story rhyme plus has mad metaphors at that. Born in Jamaica and arrived int he states when he was 11 years old, his family settled in the ALLERTON sectionof the BRONX. Basketball kept PHENOM busy. Always on the court, muic blastin from someone's car or just kids freestyle battling caught PHENOMS attention. At the time BIGGIE, TUPAC, AND THE FUGEES were hot. The neighborhood handout spot was skate key, the roller rink. SKATE KEY was the spot all the hot DJ'S played the hottest records and up and coming rappers got a shot to show their skills. Phenom wenton to meet a kid named TISI IN J.H.S., TISI had some production skills. PHENOM then learned how to write his own rhymes, while playing basketball in junior college, he was more attracted to "HIP HOP''. In 1999 PHEONOM decided to take ryhmeing serious. Together, they started recording demos and their own mixtapes. A buzz was started in the hood. TISI and QUEST got better at making beats alongside GAGE rhymes. They called on childhood friend ''ROCS'' who had a dream of making it big in the rap game and knew a little about the business. They form together and took PHIVE STARR ENT. to new hieghts.
