Born year of the Dragon "76". From a small country town called, McMinnville in the state of Oregon. Up until the age of 8, I was use to living the country life. Once I turned the age of 8, my mother, brother and myself packed up and moved to California. We ended up in East Oakland in the 20's off Fruitvale in 1986. I stayed there for a few years then I started moving around a lot but I always stayed in the BAY AREA.
I ended up finishing my JR and SR high school years in Castro Valley CA. I was always into music, a little bit more than your average kid was back then. Music to me was never just music. like how music finds different ways to touch the heart, mind, body and sole of a person.
I guess it was about this time when I really started to get into music. I met Twon (aka Pharoah YT) Charles (aka C Notorious) Steven (aka Breeze) back when I was a freshman in high school. We used to bust freestyles at parties beat box and or use anything that wasn't nailed down to make beats. Talking shit just chill having a few drinks and smoking. It was at this time we decided to take it to the next level. So Pharoah YT, C Notorious, STL, Breeze and myself evolved into 798 Click.
The name J FUNK came from my style of flow. Ive been told on numerous of occasion that my style of flow has instumental melody of funk flavor to it. They never know how I was going to come or how I was going to come next. Thus J Funk was born. Moving on, as a lot of business ventures go bad, so did the 798 Click.
We had a good run, live performances, private parties and radio appearances at 106 KMEL and WILD 94.9 at times 4000 +. but we went our separate ways in1996.
A short time after, Pharoah YT & C Notorious approached me with a compalation project and given our history and chemistery we couldnt lose thus TOMB WORLD ORDER WAS BORN. Please enjoy--Any comments are welcome--One thing you can expect from me is realizim, Heat, funk, and something you can feel!
