BIOGRAPHY
Born De'Marea Ewing, April 9th, 1993. Ewing began his rap career at the age of twelve; along with his cousin Darrel Frazier a.k.a. Duddlez (12). Ewing & Frazier would record for free at the Boys & Girls Club in East Palo Alto, CA. Thinking they were hot shots; they invited a few peers to listen to their work, but unfortunatley Ewing wasn't very good, yet he showed many signs of potential.
Within six months Ewing would have the chance to record with his older cousin "Doc Loui" who is a very well known Underground Artist in the Bay Area & Texas. Doc Loui would then go on to teach & advise Ewing hoping to get across to him; which he did.
Ewing then decided to seek a solo career due to Frazier & Doc Loui's incarceration for the next few years. When Ewing turned fourteen he stumbled upon a neighborhood friend, Duane Polk 16, who was a balanced out lyricist with a lot of potential. Ewing's material elevated so much in such a short period of time.
In high school Ewing always ignored doing classwork or homework to work on his lyrics & delivery. Ewing wasn't the academic success he once was, Ewing said,"It would kill the teachers to see me writing instead of reading a novel. It wasn't that I didn't comprehend the material; I just had no motivation, and didn't want to do it. With music I have fun; it ammuses me when I feel how difficult it is to spit what I wrote, and knowing that I can throw all these words together is just plus."
Ewing released his first free mixtape titled "R.I.P. P. Meach" in dedication to Ewing's older cousin Paris Meacham who was unfortunately murdered July 22nd, 2009. Ewing took the death of his cousin as motivation to change his lifestyle, and pursue his music career.
In 2009 Ewing created his own independent record label, Extinct Entertainment, who's roster contains TC Rack$ & SuperSonicGeek.
On August 1st, 2011, Ewing dropped his second free mixtape Year Of The Rogue on HotNewHipHop.com. Ewing's next project is rumored to be released July 31st 2012.
