About

About me… Most of you know me.
You know that making music has been a huge part of my life since I was just a kid. There have been good times and bad on this journey and I’m still pushing forward with this passion I have.
Born in Queens NYC, I relocated at the young age of 2 to a small town in Upstate NY, where my family and I eventually learned to call home.I found love in Hip-Hop at an early age, with albums such as “The Slim Shady LP” and DMX’s “Its Dark & Hell is Hot”, eventually leading me deeper into the origins of Hip-Hop.

By 11, my CD collection consisted of everything from, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang Clan and The Notorious B.I.G to Eminem, 50 Cent, D12 and pretty much any artist on the Shady/Aftermath roster.

As hard times began to fall on my family, I tried to do whatever I could to make things easier for them which wound up becoming the main source of most of the trouble I got into. But it was also the same time I began writing my own rhymes as a way to vent my frustrations. Recording raw freestyles late at night in my basement with no beats, just a boom box and a cassette tape.

Eventually, thanks to a friend, one of my tapes fell into the hands of another local artist who had a strong buzz in my town, and thought I had potential.

Over time we formed a bond, and he became a mentor to me. Teaching me a lot of what I know about producing and in the 5 years we worked together combined we put out at least 8 full length solo and group mixtapes.

Unfortunately, some great things come to an end and musically we went our separate ways.
Since then, I’ve been putting out mixtapes and doing collabs.
The rest is still history in the making….

Be on the lookout for new music!
