About Me

What's there to say about ?aradox? Too much to fit in a single bio. but if you can attempt to make it fit it would probably start of like;...... Born in the streets of New Orleans, ?aradox was born on the 29th day of November in the year of 1982. The only child was practically born into music playing swan lake at his first piano recital at the age of four. From the piano to the school choir, from the choir to the high school marching band. Music was practically his life, but what was it about hip hop that made everything else seem so......plain. ?aradox explains, "You can reinvent yourself in so many ways with rap it almost impossible to master because a new form or style seems to emerge every ten seconds." ?aradox sharpened his wordplay by entering in numerous rap battles and open mics in the city as well as being a fan favorite on Q-93's "The Nine O' Clock Props" along with fellow rapper and friend Buzy-B. He earned the alias P-Dainja because people said that it was almost dangerous to go against him. Packed with witty punch lines and a plethora of styles, he became known as what people call "A Rapper's Rapper". In one battle he came across a rapper by the name of Jimi Clever. ?aradox came late to the battle and Clever had already won but ?aradox just wanted to challenge the winner. The battle ended in a draw and the two have been friends ever since. Bored with just rapping on mixtape after mixtape, ?aradox came to a conclusion. He would become a producer as well. At the time, mpc's motif's and triton keyboards were way out of ?aradox's price range so he did the unthinkable. He turned his Sony Playstation into a beat machine! Playstation had just came out with a game called MTV music generator; a game specifically designed for making beats. In time, ?aradox's beats were as "dangerous” as his rhymes. "It's not the equipment you have but the person using it and the creative genius in the person." ?aradox explains. "I say this because I know people with top of the line equipment and I make better beats from a game that I bought for $30!" ?aradox now uses FL Studio {or fruity loops} Acid and Reason for his production but still goes on the Playstation every once in a while. It was ?aradox's non stop drive and help of Big Brother and fellow F.O.G. member DJ Black-N-Mild that caught the ear of one of New Orleans most well known and respected rappers Fiend. Once Fiend heard the demo, the two along with fellow artist Corner Boy P and Jigg began working on several mixtapes including the 2004 Bayou Classic mixtape as well as several album songs. ?aradox is now apart of the production group "The Architeks", the head producer for the "GO-DJ Music Group" and has currently done production for Jimi Clever {The Bounce, Shine Your Light}, BANG {I’ll Make You Famous DVD Vol. 1} DJ Hi-C, U.N.L.V, Big Ramp, Young Greatness, Slotch, PYP, In-4, R&B singer Tasha, ABN (Trae and Z Ro) and many others including himself for his debut entitled "Don't Try This At Home." "I look forward to working with many artist in the near future." Says ?aradox. "If you about making good quality music then lets do it." What more is there to say. Rapper, Songwriter, and Producer, ?aradox is well on his way of becoming a major force to be reckoned with. ?aradox closes by saying, "The world is going to get what they want and I'm sure they'll want what there getting!"
