About Me

Born in Pittsburgh, Pa. but Ive lived in CT, NY, and IN at different points in time. The burgh most of my life.....started rapping in 1996. Did shit for myself while I focused on getting into the NFL. Got there in 2001, Drafted by the Steelers in the 5th Round, 15th pick (146th overall)....Came home and continued with my music while being mentored by the group Strict Flow, specifically Pittsburgh Slim (Now with Def Jam Records) and E Dan (ID Labs). I Continue to work with both of them, along with Ron Noodles, Diezel the Beat General, Margot B., Lokken Load Entertainment, and Kaaren Alise. Understand this aint just another athlete trying to rap. Wun is a real MC. Always looking to do something new, always up for collabos. "Center of Attention" is my 1st LP and will be available in early 2008. The 2nd "Child's Play" is in the works
