Da Brooklyn MasterMind

DESIGN BY Y-ER



An 80's child, Da MasterMind, grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn. For him music has always been a major asset to his life. Though he was late in joining the Hip-Hop generation, after hearing the music of Slick Rick, Rakim, and Run-DMC, he was instantly pulled in.



In 1992, the first song that officially converted him from House and Freestyle Music (Mother's influence) to Hip-Hop, was The Creator by Pete Rock. Upon first hearing this song, he was blown away. From there he purchased his first Hip-Hop album, which was Mecca and the Soul Brother by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth(Classic). Ever since he has been a proud Hip-Hop fanatic, doing anything he can to get the next hottest album released.



1998 was the year in which he began rhyming with boys from the neighborhood. Since Remixing was popular in the 90's, Da MasterMind and his boys used to take Bad Boy and Ruff Ryder tracks, and flip the original lyrics into their own creation and dis one other. After awhile he began writing his own lyrics and did so for about a year, then stopped, until 1999. In that year he bought The MTV Music Generator for Playstation (a beat making game that made him discover his passion for production).



In 2000, he linked up with Chingrock and DJ Crayze Fingaz, thus forming The Brooklyn Kids. Now alongside his Brothers, he's ready to smash the crowd with their new sound.
