I have been writing, recording and releasing hip-hop from Boston Mass since the early 1990's, on""DIRTNECK DISCS" a small Boston-run record label. We are releasing a new CD and it will be in stores around Boston or available online by the summer... I am also a writer with a website full of my writing that is in the works right now; when the site's finished I will post the new address. I am an avid reader and I enjoy roaming the streets of Boston in search of adventure!!! The name of my band is TYPE 4 and you can hear the music for free at our official website www.type4.biz. I live to create and hope to be remembered long after my time is done on earth...and of course my girlfriend of the past 4 years jessica whom stuck by myside through some really shitty times.. PS the song that plays on my MySpace site is a new TYPE 4 song, i hope yiz dig it..... www.type4.biz

About me: I live in Boston Mass where I was born and raised. I'm the lead vocalist of the Boston-based hip-hop band TYPE 4. We formed around 1990, since then our group has turned out several independent releases, you can check us at our current website www.type4.biz, where you can read about us, our travels, and hear full-length versions of our music for free! Take a listen, I'm sure you will dig it. We just finished up a new album, "As Is", which is available here, at our website, and soon on CD at a store near you. We have been around for a long time and have churned out a lot of material, it's good old rap music cooked up Boston cool-kid-style with a late 1980's hip hop production feel. Download all three of our albums here:
