Ok, ill try to make a long story short... I moved around ALOT when I was younger until finally finding a home in Maspeth/Ridgewood Queens, NY at the age of 6. I started writing rhymes here and there when I was about 12 yrs old after A-LoneRoKKa (Find A Way... 2nd Verse) asked me to battle him. Obviously I was trash but I kept wit it for a couple of years practicing & improving my technique. I was probably about 13 -14 when I started burning CD's for my friends & passing them out around the hood. They would all have maybe 3 or 4 songs on them & while some people of course hated on me, an overwhelming amount of people really liked what I was doing. A local MC named E-biz who was about 23 at the time along with a local producer named Miles (Millz) caught wind of what I was doing through out the hood & took interest. E-Biz took me under his wing & showed me the ropes while Millz was providing beats for a majority of our music. Fast forwarding a couple of years to about 15 -16 yrs old, I got in with producer Mighty Fuzz Young. He also taught me a couple things & really added another dimension to my music. He told me I had to start writing more "quality" music & if i wanted to be successful not to just stick to writing songs about all the same old bullshit. Being in the studio with him & his artists really opened my eyes to another genre of Rap & Hip-Hop. Between 2006 & most of 2008 I was recording very little, close to nothing at all. If I sat down and wrote a track a month it was alot. I stopped writing & lost all motivation & focus. I guess I just felt like I wasn't good enough to really make music and or make it in the music business & seriously considered stopping. During this time is when one of my close friends & now Manager JimmyWatts really stuck in there with me & got me focused & back on track. It became apparent that what was most important was believing in myself again & not only to start making music again but really improving on the gift that I was blessed with to do so. Late 2008 we finally got back in the studio & started recording all new material for my new upcoming mixtape titled "The March" coming in May 2009 barring any set backs. We hooked up with a new producer Mel-S as well as E-biz & we began working nonstop. Im really making a push for the new year in hopes to get back on track & thank everyone of my fans who have believed in me all these years.
