Background: I started coming up with lines in my head at the age of 12 I was telling my man I got rhymes(I listened to RunDMC, Ice Cube, Ghetto Boys, Eazy-E and Young MC....) I liked to get my Mack on at the Fox Hills Mall, so I would come up with sweep lines to kick to the hotties. He said I couldn't be a real rapper.
I played ball through Elementary and High School. Smoking and chilln' out one day
after I graduated from High School I saw a commercial for C.S.D.H. for classes in the studio and a 48 track console, I was hooked. In my second year in college I was
shot at a college house party in the hood by an AK-47 assault riffle I stayed in Cenntinela Hospital in Inglewood for two months, I was released right before 1999.
I was blessed to go to NY 1999 again, came back to LA continued my musical trade at Clear Lake Audio in Burbank for four years, went on to create "Super Superb LP" which was on MP3.com with over 750 listens and street sales totaling over $2,000.00 and rising. I see the growth in my music coming full circle.

5 years from now: I plan to be very influential in HIP-HOP. I am expecting God willing MO' money MO' problems so they say. Become a very established artist and influential music maker. I'm talking House, Cars, Bank Accounts off of my talents, hustle and prayer alone and not selling my soul.

it back in a real way.
