Music is the only way; I can show the world that the things in my head are real.

A boy becomes a man when he walks around a puddle instead of through it.

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia lived in Italy and Puerto Rico as a child but was raised in Norfolk, Virginia. From a father who plays conga drums for Jazz and Salsa and a mother that loves to dance I emerge. I am a mixture of raw energy with a spontaneous vibe of being a true HipHop emcee. I have been active in the HipHop community of Hampton Roads (757) Virginia through activism. A member of Zulu Nation. Been getting on stages performing my music and recording music since my early teens also a business student trying to further my knowledge of the world. I think the more we learn of the world we live in today the better you can reach the world in your music  as a musician and song writer. To move someone you must be able to relate and understand their personal struggle by using familiar emotions and knowledge of there struggle. I see more comparisons in the world than I see differences and music is how i express my inter most feelings its my therapy as well as my creative outlet. I create music to inform and also bring people together. Im not starting the revolution Im starting the evolution and plan to break the mold and create my own lane of HIPHOP called DRUGZ meaning Dominating Reality Using Greatnezz this is what the world will be addicted to next!!! The indigenous talent and natural ability giving to everyone no matter what it is to me is a personal drug that was giving for you to get others addicted my drug is music and im getting the world addicted to that. My drug contains my energy and it being kinetic it will connect everyone and make them as one people on this planet enjoying hiphop together.

Bronx born producer Vinny Idol “King of Beats” has already achieved more in his  life than most producers dream possible.  His start began as a DJ doing kids and school parties.  His cousin is Davy D who introduced him to producing, and gave him his first drum machine.  He knew music and production would be the path he was destined for in his life.
 
Vinny Idol was always around major artists such as DMC from Run DMC, Kurtis Blow and Spoony G.   While sitting with DMC who was writing his verse for “Beats for the Rhymes,” DMC asked Vinny for his input because of his exceptional talent. These relationships would prove pivotal in the launching of his career.  Realizing the studio was an environment more conducive to creative discovery, Vinny Idol went full speed into with plans to make producing a reality.

“When I’m in the studio, I usually let the “producer in me” take the lead.  I’m often in producer mode… making sure what is being played serves the song best,” said Vinny Idol.  In an industry that is often more interested in the bottom line than artistic merit, Vinny Idol has managed to remain strong in his desire to carve out his unique sound. “Every time I write or produce, I’m trying to break some new ground,” said Vinny.   His musical genius takes him beyond producing.  Vinny fluently plays musical instruments such as the drums, guitar and piano.
