Just me, myself, and I. Give me a cordless mic (I don't like leashes) and I'll rock any stage, any time.
Influences
Been a one man operation since I was knee high. Tracks, rhymes, and DJ'n.
Musically, as in track-wise, I'm influenced by anything that packs a dance floor. That's the DJ in me. Stuff like Dre & Timbo, Lil Jon, Scott Storch, Mannie Fresh, etc. . Lyrically, I'm influenced by artists like Luda, Jay-Z, and Em. Their skills and word play challenge me as an MC (and make me a true fan as well). Finally, I simply got nothing but love for the foundations of this game. If ya don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout by the "foundations"...
learn ya history.
