STATEMENT:

I feel that my music is an expression of all my time being here on this earth. When I set down to write I set my mind free and combine all of my thoughts and feelings together into one burst of energy that allows me to express what I have to say.

I believe that God works through me to give me the things that I want to say. I catch a chill in my spine that touches my soul as if it comes from up above. I've done songs with artists such as SADAT X, HANG'UM HIGH, MY CREW CAN'T GO FOR THAT featuring SMOOTHE THE HUSTLER and TRIGGER THE GAMBLER, ONXY, and DE LA SOUL, to name a few.

PEACE TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS (Brownsville Style)...
