Hip-Hop we need to get back to this.



"I'm from Steubenville Ohio, If you didn't know" lil man da bum



Before I start.I want to give a shout out to my other lil sis Tinisha. I was born and raised in Steubenville, OH. I was raised, with my sister Kiya, by a strong black woman. I love and respect my mother for all that she has given us. I grew up in a musical family, that's where I think I got my love for music from. My cousin and I used to sneak and make beats and record on my uncles Fostex and EPS. After getting busted a million times, we put our equipment together to enhance our production skills. He had the 4 track and the sampler: I had the midi keyboard. Also around that time, I received my first set of turntables from my dad. My dad… I basically grew up like every black male in the projects, fatherless. All I basically knew about my father was he was a local DJ. I did see him from time to time, but we really didn't have that father son relationship. I can say that I inherited my DJ'n skills from him. I really got serious about my producing in high school. At that time I was in a group called the Autsidaz. Much respect and thanks to Horace Fly. He used to let us make beats, produce, etc for free. The Autsidaz (out-sidas) is the group that spawned AutNoyz (out-noise). AutNoyz was what I called the production side of the Autsidaz. After we stopped making tracks as the Autsidaz, I wanted to make a compilation album. That first compilation album turned out to be "43952." With AutNoyz, We went on to release three albums independently on our own imprint AutNoyz Inc. We also released "What Freedom Dreams" by Ya-Ya. All of which I produced 98% of the albums. I've been making music basically all of my life. I started out in the orchestra as a youth. But on the real, I always had a love for Hip-Hop. I made my first beat when I was in the 8th grade. Since then I've been making beats for a host of people: N'Tyce from Deadly Venoms, The Chosen: Bigg Eddie Bauer & J Rocc, Katalyst, The 5Th Jewel, and many others. At times, the music industry makes me want to give up, but my heart won't let me. I feel I can breath a little bit of life back into a dying genre.

My Motto for 2008, "Live everyday like it's your last"



Black men, step up, it's time to take care of our kids. I'm proof the cycle can be broken. I was a product of a fatherless home too. See the video below.
