An 80's baby with a penchant for thick snares, soul music, & battle raps. I grew up loving Run DMC, Notorious BIG, & Pac. Moved on to Jay-Z, Nas, & Wu Tang. Went underground with Souls of Mischief & Hiero, Jurassic 5, & Blackalicious. Turned conscious & dove into De La Soul & A Tribe Called Quest. I started rapping with my friends. It kept moving up. I started to spin vinyl & have never looked back. My friends are now creating incredible music. My brother is a great producer, Mark Steez. Check out my friends, T&E (Tope & Epp), Lawz Spoken, Illmaculate, Mr. Mr aka The End & Gray Matters, DJ Flip Flop, Dave Notti, DaiN, Madgesdiq, Trox, Hi-Res, Devonwho, Diezel P, DJ Queasy, Ohmega Watts, Theory Hazit, Ragen Fykes, & so many more.
