Born and raised in Jamaica, Queens New York, now resides in the D.C. Metro Area...actually 20 mins outside DC....I am a Hip-Hop Junkie and self proclaimed Historian...(don't ask me about how it was like when the Zulu Nation, started out in the BX...I can't remember that far....I have to check my uncles for that...I was a baby then. Mid-80's throught Today's Hip-Hop..(eventhough today's Hip-Hop some of that shit is starting to lose me..lol!). Fell in love with production in my teen years. My cousin Kahil was a DJ and producer for a group INAMUV....trying to get in the game in the 90's....It didn't work out, so they moved on to other things!!! I still had much interest in it, but it wasn't until I went to SUNY Old Westbury back in 94 where a semester later, I would meet my homie and music partner Troy Washington aka Rasheen.  Also I would meet a brother my the name of Lucious Mercer aka Lucky. Lucky was one of my peoples that put the inspiration back into me, making beats again!!! Before I met them, I stopped due to real life situations, that was going on!! But I am greatful that I have continued!!  Rasheen and I have been making beats for 9 years or so....damn time flies!!! We called ourselves many things....but Nightshift seem to fit due to us working in the day, and coming home at night , working on music!!! For myself...music has always been in my life since a kid...I take it very seriously....making beats is very theraputic, keeps my creative juices flowing, it keeps me out of trouble...lol!!, it's fun to do, and it shows a side of your inner being, the real you....(many of you are like...what the fu...is he talking about!) What I mean is that it shows what type of mood you are in, shows how creative and talented you are....to me, like I said it's very serious to me..music is a very expressive, and universal language...and I want people to hear The Nightshift's music and hear what we are trying to do....and get a understanding that...."These guys have something"!!
My weapons of choice is none of all niggas business....lol!!! just messing with you...LOL!!! Hip-Hop needs a HUG...stop catchin feelings!!! LOL!!! I use anything that gets the job done!!! from Hardware to Software to noware!!! Beat box with my mouth, bang on some buckets like those kats do in Times Square..., man, I;ll sample you breathin' and make a beat out of that!!! It's doesn't matter....as long as the results and the execution comes out tight!!!!Just peep the sounds of the Nightshift...you will like what you hear....believe it!!! ONE-Su Life


° Love for the fusion of technology and creativity.

° Tribute to the artists using the machinery to its full potential.

Akai MPCs (originally MIDI Production Center, now Music Production Controller) are a popular series of electronic musical instruments originally designed by Roger Linn and produced by the Japanese company Akai from 1988 onward. Intended to function as a powerful kind of drum machine, the MPCs drew on design ideas from machines such as the Sequential Circuits Inc. Studio 440 and the Linn's own Linn 9000, combining a powerful MIDI sequencer with the ability to sample one's own sounds. A major influence to Roger Linn's design was his love of rubber pads and how they could be pushed, prodded, and banged; this can be seen clearly in his designs especially from the MPC-60 onwards. Linn also had a passion for squares: thus, no round pads on the MPC Series. Later models feature increasingly powerful sampling, storage, interfacing and sound manipulation facilities, which broaden the use of instrument beyond just drum and rhythm tracks.
