Those who know about me know what time it is.
The Ride - feat Diallo
Before you go wasting your time bombarding me with solicitations let me let this be known.
I do not pay 2 play, I will not pay 2 be on your mixtape, and I am not into paying for so-called "promotion" packages which are just a fancy way of disguising the disgusting practice of payola, and NO I do not need your $20 beats (I have hundreds of thousands in every style you can imagine). Though if you are an up coming producer I might show love and collab or plug you in with a client, provided we can come up with a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Oh, and I definately will not pay to open up for anyone, but you can book me for very resonable rates.
If you honestly dig my sound(s) and would like to support the cause there are ways we can make $ TOGETHER, again I am not interested in being bamboozled by you fake industry CLOWNS. Either roll or rollover.
I am a professional musician/artist/dj/producer/engineer/sound designer who started out back in the late 80's as a Dj in a hip-hop group with my younger brother and my homie who moved to professional producing in the early 90's when I established myself by working with well over 1,000 artist and recording thousands of songs, started spitting in the late 90's and considering a solo musical journey.
By the time i got around to making a solo project "Get it or Forget it" found the hip-hop game changed drastically where quality was not so much a factor (at least not by the same standards), yet they say I still came thru with the type of quality you havent seen since the golden era, but in the process find myself rapping, singin, playing keys, percussion, turntable, engineering and managing my own career, and President of my own label (which was done mainly as an outlet for artists including myself to have an outlet where they have true creative freedom while stiving to meet the level of quality I have personally delivered over the past 2 decades),
mainly due to the fact that no one really knows how to represent what I do, and people are generally too self centered to work together the way I would need them too (I do everything and am the shit with most everything).or even had my name mentioned in the press, frankly I'm amazed myself as I have produced numerous artists who have gotten press and chose to leave my name out as well as had some great ideas jacked by my peers and so-called friends in the industry, so here i am today.
Some say it's amazing that I have not personally been on the billboard charts, got a major deal (never wanted anything but distribution), or even got any real press from any major publication, when my name has been synonymous with the cream of the crop of the Va scene since before Va had any national or worldwide recognition and still is now that Va is the shit(something I had/have a major hand in).
So by now yall should know who I am, and if you're into Va Hip-Hop and you dont something's wrong.
If you're looking for my bio, I moved it to my blog.
And now to set the record straight, I am one of the original founders of Bloody Reign & Disorganized Union, a key member of many other families, and have contributed to success of almost EVERY successful artist in central Va at one point or another.
No disrespect to your favorite rapper but if they were honest with themselves they'd tell you what time it is. Not gonna waste time slandering anyone who fits the description, those people know who they are and if there be a problem we can discuss that amongst us men.
All I ask is for the proper respect that I deserve.
Seems these days that some people would like to forget where they came from, and others would like to take it a step further and re-write history so they can eliminate me from the picture all together.
Others even wanna conspire on me on a personal level because they fear the truth and therefore plot to take me out the game.
It is not my intention to bring about friction, that is something that already exists here, but I have let things get out of hand an so it's only right that I bring truth to light, and put things in the proper perspective.
Peace and Love to everyone that has supported the cause through the years, especially those who have played a part in the present day movement and anyone that's done good business with me.
