My father always listened to RUN DMC when I was growing up. I knew I liked it, but if anyone asked me if I wanted to be a rapper I probably would have said no then. I remember never being allowed to go outside at a young age because of the neighborhood we grew up in, so all I ever did was listen to these two tapes I got my hands on. All i can remember is wanting to race home to get my fill of Too-Short and Notorious B.I.G. I believe at this time in my life I unknowingly was learning how to write and rap music. As I got older I formed a rap group, we started to battle rap at every football game and on any street corner. We were basically rapping verses for anybody we thought might be somebody. As I continued to live life and time progressed my group had its differences and we went our separate ways. Nevertheless one thing changed, my battle raps and short verses slowly progressed into songs. Day in and day out these past few years I've have continued to write and record music. I also continually try new ways to promote myself by selling and giving out Cd's, shopping myself to labels, doing show's when the opportunities arrive. Consistently, as an artist, trying to take this universal language to the next level.
