Started in '98 with my boy Buddy in the back of Friendly's, hooked up with a group of 5 at University of Maryland called "The Finest," got good at what I was doing, messed around freestyling through college in upstate NY and back home in LI with my good friend DJ Chaos, making cool little freestyle mixtapes and forming the powerhouse tandem Chaos and Confusion, came to Miami and met Rey Thorne of Medusa's Hairdresser who is now with 2=3; he's the best musician I've ever known and is better than pretty much everyone who is famous which goes to show how bullshit this industry is, like Jeru said; made this ep in 2004 with Rey's beats and produced by my boy Adam Hendrickson of Insomnia, another ill musician and dope band; helped out by my bor Adam Schleichkorn who distributed the album a little bit up in Long Island- I hate the current state of hip-hop- I think pretty much everything out there sucks horribly and I can't even listen to rap except for Mos Def, Common, Talib, Pharoah Monch, the Roots, Gift of Gab, Jeru the Damaja, Brand Nubian, all the good dead rappers, Last Emperor, Rakim, KRS-One, Slick Rick and Cormega- I'm sure I forgot a few. The only way I'll make more music is if I'm out in LA with Rey and we do something, which will probably happen within the next year- I may start a band in the ways of Rage/Red Hots/ Roots- that would be pretty damn cool if I don't say so myself. By the way Peter Toh is the man- check out his music as well as 2=3 and Medussa's hairdresser.
DT is hip-hop, and represents what everyone in the game should be...When I saw him battle Biggie Smalls back in the day at Madison Square Garden, I knew this dude is real. Really real. So real that it's hard to believe that such realness actually exists. "Huntington, represent Long Island" is a classic line from one of Dan's raps, and he truely does represent Long Island to the fullest. Major players in the Long Island game, such as Justin Szypot, aka The Boss of all Bosses, quote various DT lines still to this day. I salute you DT, keep it gator and keep it global. Holler.
