NEW REMIX I DID FOR SOULICO & RYE RYE!!!!



NEW REMIX I DID FOR RONIT RASTA!



Hey.I met music and hiphop back in 1989 when I was a kid living with my family in Detroit, Michigan for a year. When I came back to my small hometown Rosh Pinna, northen Israel, no one knew what hiphop was at the time. I kind of decided that I was chosen to bring hiphop to the north, and later realized that I was about to bring hiphop to the whole country.
I started Djing at school-parties at 12, and at 16 I was in a rock band called "Necrofilia" doing some MCing thing (R.I.P. Nimrod Segev, the lead singer). Later on I started a group called "Tsarot Shel Tsartsarim" with Nimrod's brother, Ehud. After that i started the group "The Opening Four".we had a song leaked to the internet (that was around 97!!) and got real big "Mekabelet Zain". At that stage i also got into producing.
Just a cool point in my career - 1995 Flavor Flav did a gig in Israel. I was around 15 years old - I came to that show and went rapping with him onstage somehow! i guess back then no one knew how to rap but me
When I was 19 I moved to Tel-Aviv and began producing tracks for artists like Subliminal, Fishi, Jeremy "Cool" Habash and Kele 6. After a short but inspiring trip to New-York in 2000, I started my own party-line with Dj Alarm & Magic in the legendary underground club Dinamo Dvash. We also started there the first-ever Israeli open mic night called "Leil Hishguzim"
The Hishguzim got real big in the national and local media. Now suddenly there was an Israeli hiphop scene. I continued doing those partys for about 2 years. All that time I still produced for the same artists I meantioned, as well as Dam, Sneakas, Lukatch, Sagol 59, Dani Din, Momy Levy and more.
Later on Dj Alarm and I got a radio show - which we still do - on Radio Tel Aviv 102fm. Together we put out a few mixtapes, some of them were all about pure hiphop in hebrew and some just about good hiphop, reggae and funk. We had the honor to warm up for De La Soul and 50 Cent & G-Unit when they were in Tel Aviv.

Other then that I'm still in Tel Aviv making moves. Produced the internet EP "Hochmat Rechov" with Fishi, Libra's album, did a bunch of productions and remixes for Onili, Kottage, Laroz.recorded and excutive produced Cohen@Mushon's album, did Peled & Ortega's unreleased masterpiece "Special Delivery", did with Metro his debut solo album, and Lukatch's 2nd album which is now in works.
I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some people and some stuff but I'm also sure by now you are tired reading about me.
