LAMAR DALES WAS BORN IN MARYLAND IN APRIL OF 1986. AT THE AGE OF 13, HIS OLDER BROTHER HOLLOWMAN SAW THAT LAMAR WAS ALSO MUSICALLY INCLIANED. SO HOLLOWMAN TOOK NO TIME AND HELPED HIM WRITE HIS FIRST RAP AND HOOK. IT REALLY DIDN’T TAKE TIME FOR LAMAR TO CATCH ON TO THE PATTERN OF WRITING A SONG. LAMAR WAS RAISED IN THE ERIE AVE SECTION OF NORTH PHILADELPHIA (SINCE THE AGE OF 2), SO THERE WERE LOTS OF THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT.
WATCHIN THE DRUG DEALERS AND CRACK ADDICTS COME IN AND OUT OF HIS HOUSE, HE WAS USED TO THE STREET LIFE. SO HE EMBRACED THAT KIND OF LIVING. HE LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY DUE TO THIS IND OF LIVING. BY THE TIME HE WAS IN HIS LATE TEENS LAMAR HIT THE STUDIO, AND BEGAN WORKING. AT AN EARLY AGE HE FACED THE TRAILS AND TRIBULATIIONS IN LIFE, MOVING ON HIS OWN, AND THE BIRTH OF HIS FIRST CHILD. HIS FINANCIAL STATUS KEPT HIM DROPPING A CD PROPERLY. BUT THAT NEVER STOPPED HIM FROM STAYING FOCUS AND CONTINUING HIS PATH TO SUCCESS. HE WATCH OTHER ARTIST FROM HIS AREA (SUCH AS HIS HOLLOWMAN AND MAJOR FIGGAS) GROW AND GET THEIR SHINE. E TOO SHAW FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOT STEPS.
LAMAR’S TALENT HAS BEEN RECONIZED AT BOTH MAINSTREAM AND SOME WHAT AT AN UNDERGROUND LEVEL. HE BEGAN TO START NETWORKING AND COLABERATING WITH OTHER ARTIST. HE HAS BEEN ON "URBAN EXPRESSIONS", BLOG TALK RADIO, AND PERFORM ON A TV SHOW IN ATL. HE LINK UP SOME GUYS HE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH (HOT SCORCHAS) AND BEGAN CUTTING RECORDS. HE PUT HIS OWN MONEY AND TIME INTO EVERYTHING HE HAD TO DO, HOPING THAT HE BECOME SOMETHING OR MAKE A STEP HIGHER FROM WERE HE WAS AT. AFTER HEARING “STREET POLITICS†A NAME THE J-PHOBIC(FROM HOT SCORCHAS) CAME UP WITH, LAMAR DECIDED TO TAKE AND USE IT FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. WITH THE NAME ESTABLISHED, LAMAR AND THE HOT SCORCHAS GOT TOGETHER AND FORMED (“LET’S TALK POLITICSâ€)
A MIXTAPE. AFTER THAT, HE WAS INVOLVED WITH A MIXTAPE RELEASE PARTY, AND A COUPLE SHOWS AT NIGHTCLUBS SAMBA, 923, AND NEIGHBORHOOD BARS. NOW HE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON HIS DEBUT SOLO ALBUM "I'M HERE" WHICH IS DATED TO DROP SOON!!!!
