Hit me up directly for collabos or anything else on AIM at HBK828.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[Life forever changed on 9.15.93] I was born and raised in Suffern, NY (Rockland County). I am 27 years old. I been doin this rap thing on and off since 1998 and I am hoping to catch a few fans. I am a sharp witted and intelligent individual, and bottom line is that I know good music. If it ain't real then I don't spit it. If it ain't hot then I can't use it. If u ain't a professional then I ain't workin wit u. I have much respect for anyone who does what they want to do and what they feel in their heart is right, and doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks about it. I'm a real down to earth cat and I think hip-hop is a big part of the reason that I was put on this planet. I am tryin to make some ill music for y'all to vibe wit. If you like it, word up, if not, we still cool anyway and thanks for takin the time to give me a chance. Jay-Z put it best when he said "Either love me or leave me alone." So show me some love! Big ups to Versatile & Mista Chorus! Big ups to Peeda Bregga! Big ups to Homeboy Sandman, Tah Phrum duh Bush and the whole NY crew! Big ups to C-Rayz Walz! Check out their pages for some ill music as well. IF YOU LIKE MY TRACKS ADD ONE OF THEM TO YOUR PROFILE!!!!I saw this quote on the Jon B. music page and I liked it so.... "Some people become artists because they seek fortune and fame. They believe that somehow, performing, writing and producing will bring them the accolades and acclaim they feel they've been missing. And then there are the people who have no choice in the matter - artistry has chosen them. They are compelled to write, perform and record the way the rest of us are compelled to breathe. Whether they sell five million records or just five, some folks will always create."
