About five years ago when I first started out my career I won a VH1 contest online to make a beat for Flavor Flav. There was over 20,000 entries. I was then flown out to grammy nominated singer/songwriter/producer Raphael Saddiqs studio Blakeslee studios in La. I then did the track with Flavor flav and Raphael Saddiq. This was when web tv was just getting popular and the whole thing was filmed. After the Track which VH1 called it, I went back to my home studio where I continued to make beats and Invest in myself! I eventualy ran into one of my old hip-hop friends.(KEN-ROCK) We then started linking back up and working on his album Rebirth of a Hustla which are now in the mixing and mastering process(by GnG mixing and mastering) We started out by doing alot in house, but relized we had to branch out. I then hit the ground running becoming his agent/ manager/producer/DRIVER lol. 
Putting everything I had into progressing this album. As we know there is no artist development in Labels now a days and the only way you are going to get your stuff heard is by making it the best quality in your means....in which I learned a lot about patients. I got intouch with my buddy from back in the day who is a grammy nominated engineer James Feeney, who then introduced us to Grammy winning producer Dirty Harry who helped us propell this album in a positive direction!I continue to develop my skill, because this is ALL I GOT!!
