Lyrically, I'm influenced by just about every decent rapper I hear. My favorite MC's are the supercomplex guys like Common, Ras Kass, Chino XL, Pharoahe Monch and Techn9ne.
Musically, my influences include Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, Pat Metheny, John Barry and Steely Dan.
I wrote my first rap in 1987, after hearing Doug E. Fresh's "The Show" for the first time. Since then, I've been constantly making music and trying to spread the Jugghead gospel. In high school, I built my name and reputation doing demos and shows alongside Professor Crookyd as part of the rap groups Codename: ICE and QnA. In college, I held it down alongside Hookdignious and Devastator as part of the groups M2S and Maize & Blue. Postgrad I represented Flint-town and the D with Prezident Zod as part of the group Phalanx International. as part of these groups I released four CDs, appeared in two music videos and performed in countless shows in Flint, Ann Arbor, Mount Clemens and Detroit.
I've always had solo material, and I even recorded a few projects, but I was never able to get my solo music to the masses...until now.
As part of Expectus, you're going to be hearing a lot from me...
