Been doing this thing (RAP) for a whole while. Wrote me ma first rhyme in December 1998. Started going for radio rap shows at K.D in January 1999, in that same year hooked up with Ill Jamil & Ruff and formed a group called the bomb squad, recorded a Demo in January 2000. First Joint was titled: The Squad Anthem and the second joint was called bounce to this, then I broke out.

Got Solo Dee’s (CEO PBT) number from Hilari Bakura (Flava) who was El Dee’s friend. Called and was aksed to bring my Demo, that was in 2001, and then tha word was on the street that Terry Tha Rapman got signed to PBT too. So I called him to find out what it was like, he told me it was all good. Brought ma tape for Solo 2 listen 2 then he offered me an opportunity 2 record stuff for an album.

Got introduced 2 real hip-hop in 1997, then I used to hang out at ma man Grandson’s joint, he and his big brother had a lot ‘a rap tapes and videos that we were always sampling.

Other things that you freak: Poem writing plus, I co - present 2 showz on radio in K.D ’Tha Jam session' on Sunday nights and Hip-Hop ride on Wednesdays both of ’em on the same station.
