Born in the late seventies... I've grown up alongside hip-hop music. As a kid, I remember playing in the neighborhood reciting Run-DMC and the Fat Boys with my friends. As I grew up my major influences came to include A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Das EFX, Gangstarr, and especially Wu-Tang Clan. To me, hip hop has always been here... it is very much a part of who I am...
I wrote raps and emceed parties throughout my school years. After high school I started performing at local spots both alone and with a group who has since disbanded. Since 2000 I have put out a handful of albums and mixtapes which have all been received well.
My music has reached thousands of people over the years as I have moved a dozen times since 2001. During that time, I have done countless shows with locals from Milwaukee, Chicago, and Atlanta. In 2006, I was asked to open for MURS shortly after arriving in the Milwaukee scene.
I moved to Atlanta in mid-2007, and have continued to grow as a musician and performer. In the Fall of 2009, I released an album entitled ELEVATE HEARTRATE which gives listeners who have never seen me live a chance to experience my energy and passion for Hip-Hop. In October 2009, I was involved in the A3C Hip-Hop Festival on a few different levels which was a good step in the right direction for me. I have successfully hosted bi-weekly and "one-off" events in Atlanta as well as performed with CAGE of Definitive Jux, AKIL of Jurassic 5, and BIG POOH of Little Brother.
I am currently working on multiple projects... Stay tuned.
