Sounds Like
...how can I sound like somebody else unless they're me?
Okay, so this isn't a 'bio' like everyone has come to know it as, this one's just speaking how I know to speak. My first released track was in 1995, when i was just finishing high school. I continued school until 1998 at York University while pursuing music as my career. I'm from the dot (Toronto) andI've been rhyming and making beats for about 10 years. I've seen a lot coming out of this city, and I've worked with the cream of this city's crop such as K-os, Saukrates, Kardinal Offishall, da Grassroots, G-Knight, and Kenny Neal among others. I am currently finishing a full-length LP which i will be releasing by summer 2006. Thank you for your support and your ears as you peep my tracks here on myspace. com
