My major influences are my mother, father, and grandmother. Musically, listed from my absolute favorites to those that seem to be forgotten, I look to:
Nas · Bob Marley · Mos Def · Rakim · Peter Tosh · Talib Kweli · Common · Da Bush Babees · Camp Lo · Bone Thugs~N~Harmony · Jay-Z · Biggie · Mobb Deep circa 90s · Erykah Badu · A Tribe Called Quest · Fresh Prince & Jazzy Jeff · Redman · Planet Asia · De La Soul · NWA · Scarface · Outkast · Little Brother · Luda · The Rat Pack · Wu Tang · Public Enemy · Pharcyde · Hieroglyphics · and any other legends that represent what music was meant to be from the beginning.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets'it going. Hailing from Massillon, a small-town in the blue-collar state of Ohio, the value of hard work and determination was instilled in a young Kyle Myricks. Practicing diligently on the basketball courts, Kyle's swift movement and lean physique was obvious. His father and fans referred to him as the "Massilon stallion" as he worked the ball into the paint, taking hits to the body and gracefully racing towards the rim for a score. That dedication and skill would eventually lead Kyle into playing Division 1 basketball on a full scholarship. His time on the court would be brief though, after a foot injury indefinitely sidelined him and ended his dreams of playing professional basketball. Where most would be deterred by such a set back, Kyle would not only continue to move forward as his stallion spirit says to but also reclaim it as his new calling.
Today
With deflated hoop dreams set aside, Stalley moved to New York to pursue his second passion; music. Having played the bench to basketball for much of his college career, music was now going to be the new starting point, the step forward, and the center of his universe. In his first year alone, he connected with Ohio's own Terry Urban on his mixtape debut "Goin Ape" and was knighted the title of Complex Magazine and Grey Goose Vodka's Rising Icon, representing Cleveland the closest major city to his humble home town. Currently Stalley has aligned himself with LRG and GFCnewyork, the collective responsible for the success of Mickey Factz. He's recently released his 2nd project titled "MadStalley: The Autobiography." On the project he confides in the listener about his life's experiences up to this point, over re-worked Madlib productions.
Tomorrow
History has proven to us that tough times and rough circumstances breed Champions. Massillon's Stallion is putting his whole state on his back, as he pursues his championship in music. As he walks off the court of his high school alma mater Massillon Washington, Stalley candidly says "I'm bringing the theme music of champions back home to Ohio. All Lebron has to do is get us that trophy so we can celebrate."

Yo Stalleyasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
