Lay-Z (Seldom Seen)

I starting ryming when i turned 20 which to some would seem a little late in their career's but thats when i really got interested in music and more importantly... the microphone. I emcee'd to jungle at first and will always love D&B!!..... A mate introduced me to a chap in Leeds called DJ Baboon in 2001 who could scratch and mix records like I'd never seen before and before long I'd said good bye to jungle and hello to hip hop!! We met a geordie rapper who called himself Arro and the 3 of us became the Miniature Heroes not long after that. Sadly it wasn't to be and we split, after ripping a notorious demo 'Heroes4Hire' and getting our first proper track and an interview in UndercoverMagazine. Shame though we could have done great things. Arro is currently about to release his 2nd EP so watch out for that and Babs is currently in theSoundofthebaskervilles which you should check out on myspace - He's now producing some quality beats too!! At a loose end i tried my hand at battling in a Battlescars comp in Leeds and won then I was hooked. Freestyling to me has always been an art form and something I pride myself on being able to do well. I did loads of battlescars and won a lot of the Northern Battlescars ( I lost some as well) and went down to the Urban Music Festival twice (last time i got to the semi's to get knocked out by Pro Green) but I reckon I never did myself justice. Props to anyone who's done that shit at Jump off or the street battles coz that shit is hard!!! I managed to get myself on TV when I made it through to the last 12 of Chancers on T4 last year. How did that happen ? I'll never know!!I've had to rapping on the back burner for a while, got married, bought a house and work full time etc - the usual excuses but shit man I'm back on track (its why the tracks on here are old) but...................... I've now hooked up with a quality emcee who goes by the name of the Lone Apostrophe, we've done a few live shows (love to show off the freestyling skills ) and are working towards an EP under the name Seldom Seen - this guy has got talent by the bucket load and we're working on some material which will rep the North and make people listen sharply!!
