Life's struggles present us with many unique challenges, some are never able to over come them, others see it as an excuse to stay stagnant, but ultimately the wise see it as ammo for a real life story to tell and a wonderful life to lead. Pasadena's own VERSIS represents the latter to the fullest extent.
_________
From early childhood VERSIS saw music as not only a hobby but something he was skilled at. Originally coming from Los Angeles' Inglewood area, some moving around the LA County landed him in one of the most prominent cities in the San Gabriel Valley, Pasadena.
_________
Some might say the lack of a present father would cause many young black males to turn to a life of crime and the inevitable involvement in street gangs, but for VERSIS Hip Hop is his clique and his lyrics are his arsenal. Without making excuses he puts it best, "Pops was seldom seen confirming the statistics/ a deadbeat just name a year he probably missed it." VERSIS sees reality as it is and moves on from that of which many use to provide a rationale to their own failure.
_________
It is no wonder that through honesty in his music VERSIS provides a voice for real Hip Hop and for a generation that many feel have been negatively influenced by unrealistic music marketed by the mainstream media.
_________
It wasn't until late 2008 that VERSIS started to effectively utilize the talent that he's noticed since as far back as he could remember. With assisting in the creation of the PASADENA HIP HOP ALLIANCE, under the guidance of his advisor, Mr. K. (FOCI), it allowed him to become a part of a circle of like minded individuals and to nurture his talent. In addition to that experience his own brother's longtime friendship with LA's SEVEN DAY allowed for VERSIS to sit in on recording sessions and position himself to eventually get into the booth and record his own tracks.
_________
VERSIS is currently self promoting his work while prepping to gain 'higher learning' after graduating from Blair IB Magnet in '09. With a rare baritone voice and non monotone style the uniqueness of this Hip Hop prodigy is coming to fruition. The bird has been pushed out of its nest and now the whole world will get to see him soar.
The Amsterdam-based wonder kid - Full Crate - just hit us up with a brand new joint called “Make Me Laugh”. Besides being a close personal friend and one of my favorite Dutch DJ’s. I have always had the feeling that Crate would go on to make real, pure quality music. I can tell you that there are a lot more audible goodies coming your way this summer so stay hungry. In case you don’t remember or have never heard of “She Was Fly” or “Aftersexin’” please educate yourself and download these two gems for free. For the die hard Mar fans…good news. There will be a new collaboration coming real soon. Promise!

Cali rapper Versis laced “Make Me Laugh” with some nice vocals and you might have heard him on some fLako tracks before. Our very own Deluge did the artwork during his NY trip so I guess you could call this an international thang project. Nice laid back hiphop joint free of charge…can’t beat that with a baseball bat.
Good Fella fLako hit us with some new music again. This time young talented Cali based Rapper Versis enriched the known instrumental “Yeah Yeah Yeah” released on “The First Spaceshit On The Moon” almost two month ago.

Versis: “I’m in this to make people remember the times when the MC was insatiable when it came to nourishment … staying hungry is the key to me! I’m not a songwriting robot, I write when I feel moved. Writing for the sake of it doesn’t cut-it for me. I started off as just a fan. Slowly, I started noticing I had a way with words. Those words turned to lines, lines to rhymes, rhymes to songs.”
THATS WHATS UP!!
We are proud to host this Song and … we want more!
