got back in the studio with my dude Mitch "Stitch" Gregg who helped me create bounce. to work on another project. made this beat from scratch and actually built it off the lyrics. had to be patient with this one but hey im learning more everyday being in the studio. love it. like it. share it. spread the love. thanks!

here we go.

creating, making and performing music is my dream. I started freestyle'n and beatboxing when i was 15 by 17 I started writing and memorizing these acapella 30 somethin bar writtens performing them at party's and freestyle'n any cypher I could jump in. I kept at it always having new material for people to hear and since it was mostly acapella I could make music anytime, anywhere, right here, right now type of style that most people respect and give me a good reaction for. after turning 21 obviously life changed alot for me mainly because now I could go out and branch out to new people at local bars and clubs around the Portland Or./ Vancouver Wa scene and try to establish a name for myself. I've rocked plenty of cyphers from Seattle to Arizona getting a ton of positive vibes from listeners but had no music recorded to show them. I've always been more of a live performer with my music because my demeanor is far from your typical rapper so almost being underestimated before I spit anything is something I've always used to my advantage. I feel like being there in the flesh is the best way for me to express my music so live shows had to happen. I'm 24 now and  for the last year I've stepped it up an been performing locally here in the NW and have got so much love from people that I've realized this isn't just a hobby for me this is my dream. I've always had a passion for creating and being involved with the whole structure of the song, from producing the beat to writing the lyrics to performing it.and making it truly unique and something different. any musician I've ever heard that i feel has some talent makes me better at my art. knowing the standard of the elements of old school and new school hip-hop to electronic bass music's live energy is what makes every new song or written i do better than my last one. I will always be a fan and student of the game and stay true to the basic fundamentals of kickin dope shit. so for the homies that have always wanted me to release material, and supported my music this is FOR YOU!   

THANK YOU FOR CHECKIN OUT MY MUSIC!!!!

  I'm trying to here your music!! If you want to colab or shoot me some beats I would be more than stoked on that! I'm always looking for new producers to work with and anyone who shares the same dream as I do.
 I am looking to perform and take any shows I can right now!
