Alex J. musically had been in the world since the mid-1980's doing various types of music from lo-fi noise to dub to stuff that can not 
be defined in any gender. Starting off as a DJ under the name M.C. Fire with his own radio show called 'The Midnite Mix'  in South Western
Pennsylvania. He was one the first DJ's to play the Miami Bass sound and Gangsta Rap to the masses in 1986 playing stuff 
by DJ Pooh, The Classy Crew,  The Cookie Crew, 2 Live Crew, NWA, Jazzy Z (aka Jay Z), Boogie Down Production, Beastie Boys, Metal MC's, and more and more. Most of the tunes were played for the 1st in the greater Pittsburgh, PA, Stubenville, OH, and Morgantown, WV market place. 
Even through the program aired at 3 AM to 6 PM in the morning, the show was very high rated and 
the station was low power 3.300 Watts only, but had major impact on the hip-hop history. 

In the 1990's, he discovered the underground cult founding lo-fi noise out fit called sHITicide  which only released some ultra limited releases that are very rare when they were released at the time and ever rarer now. Some of the tapes of the group have recently sold from $50 to $200 at tape and are on collector's list world wide. Fans of the band were from Germany, Turkey, Japan, Finland, South America,and the USA. And their fan base was not you typical lo-fi fans for it was punkers, metalheads, stoners, noisester, grindcore fans, and experimentalist. In fact, the group was listed in an Italian grind/noise band publication in 1999 in the Top 100 bands of the industrial. experimental noise outfits in the world and the band only played live once and it was unannounced at the last min did the 'Screw Woodstock 1999 Jam' that happened in a parking lot at bar in that was 100 miles south west of the actually festival. and the performance was and acoustic hit and run type of show. You played and then moved on. The location was made via cb radio since cell phones were not available. It is the first flash concert and secret concert idea ever done and it was pre- social network era. The band faded out in 2002 when the member Stinky B died. He appeared on a few release with fit but the major of the releases was done be Alex J only. In 2006 or 2007, so other records of the band appeared in remastered format on myspace but the tracks were basically outtakes from older sessions with a few re-edits. Alex J basically retired from the recording since from 2002 to 2013. However he did some remixes for artist during that era. 

In 2013 - current, the new stuff under the name RastALEX (Pronnounced Ras-t-a-lex). Alex posted demos from this style and it is reggaecore or dubcore or 21st Century noise reggae - again redefining the genders and actually making reggae fresh again. The gender has become so stale. It is time to move the spirit of  Jah into the 21st Century. Jah bless you.
