"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
The inspiration for an artist's music can come from almost anywhere - childhood musical influences, social background, and everything in between. Whatever it ends up being, the result is different for everyone. For one young man, the result is creativity and vision unheard in this new era of hip hop. " My rhymes and my music are about what really goes on everyday in urban America. Every ghetto is basically the same, I'm just telling it from my point of view," says 4eleven. "I grew up half my life in Compton, the other half in South Gate, so I've experienced two very similar but also different points of view." He started rapping at the age of 8, but never recorded anything until about 1999.
In his initial phase, he was lucky enough to work with some serious and talented artist's from various genres. The list included reggae musicians, Andrew Tosh and Eek-A-Mouse as well as well known producers from the San Diego scene O.F.I. and Royal Honor and the band Slightly Stoopid. But this was only the beginning. As things moved on, so did his professional experience and contacts. He hooked up with prestigious producer T-nut (Snoop Dogg, The Eastsidas, Suga Free,) as well as assembling a team of known and unknown but very talented producers. He is lucky enough to have worked with Bird, a producer whose esteemed credits include Ras Kass's Soul On Ice album, work with WC of Westside Connection, Too $hort, and music for the FUBU commercials. When one listens to 4eleven's material, one can hear his various musical influences in a very extraordinary way. From West to East coast, from Rakim to 2pac,Ice Cube to Kool G. Rap, it is all put together to create his very own unique style.
Currently riding off the success of his critically acclaimed first album "WHERE THE SUN FALLZ",He is collaborating with longtime friend and labelmate R.I.C.O. on a new album which will be titled "Sunset City". "R.I.C.O. been askin me to do this album for a while now and I think right now is the perfect time...its the new west out here now and we about to show the world what that means...aint no real need to talk about it,we'll just show you.",he says with total confidence,"Its gonna have a group name but its still us just taking you into our world for a minute, it should be droppin Summer 2008. I also just restructured 3rd World Records with a whole new team, so we’re gonna do it big this next year. I'm already startin work on my next album which should be out Spring 2009. I feel like we’re about to take the game to the next level!" he says, and with his talent, perseverance and vision, it seems like he could not be far from wrong.
