About Me

VA based artist, that has been going hard for over ten years. I am the child of a poet, so word play was always a part of my makeup. I started writing rhymes in the sixth grade. I would take HipHop serious from that point forward. I dropped on the scene in 1996. I dropped a hot dance record, called "Wind up our bottom"with KrossFade Records,a local indie label in my home town,South Boston,VA. The song is still eleven years later being played and requested at parties and in clubs. I hooked up with my producer and cousin, Jay Funk over nine years ago. Funk and I have a chemistry that is seamless. I also have been a certified audio/visual engineer since 1998. I studied in Ohio at the Recording Workshop. It makes a huge difference when you know what's going on in your recording sessions. I have come a long way to get where I am, and now that my time to shine is near, I know what I have to do. I got a vision and it's my job to bring it to the masses by any means possible. I am that sound that most emcees wish they were. I am the offspring of classic emcees and originality. I am the future from the past. This is what it is. Everything else will be made concrete when the people decide how top notch I am. The formula is simple folks: BARS AND HOOKS...BEATS AND RHYMES...GO HARD IN THE BOOTH LIKE IT'S YOUR VERY LAST TIME.....
