'This Relates to YOU!!!'

About Me

I hate writing this shit but ill giv it a go, im 24 from kidderminster in the midlands, its a bit like brum but smaller and more ignorant. I started doin this music fing bout 3 years ago and its pretty much become a life fing for me, ever since i can remember i was listenin to hip hop and was a massive fan of the oldies such as de la soul, pharcyde, rakim etc......then i started listenin to uk hip hop like black twang, kano, skinny man, the streets and more recently, Plan B....always bin writing script and kept hundreds of verses in my books but never put them to a track, i so i fort 'fuck it, why not', i started out usin instrumentals of tracks (proper mix tape shit) but then fort that i cud never use any of this shit for radio play or anything, so i started makin my own beats. Last year i enrolled in a HND music production course to take me where i wanna go wit my skills and met some sound people on the way....Respect to SAVO for hookin me up wit some of his experimental shit to spit to (UNTILL THEN). started playin guitar and keyboard to add to my skill list and mostly use the programmes Reason 4 and Pro Tools to get my sound, along wit melodyne and a few other plug-ins downloaded from the net. I aint scared to say whats on my mind on a track, neither do i give a shit what people fink of me doin what i do. I hope to work wit many more artists other than the ones ive already worked with in the near future, massive respect to all those i have worked with and thanks for bein part of the journey so far. Shout out to my girl Jen, my light in the darkness. One. TJ.I edited my profile with MyPimpSpace.com, you should too!
