I was born on the 1st of the month of november in 1988 and grew up in Bottrop. By the age of 8 me and my parents moved to Straelen (Straolin 47638) near the dutch boarder where i learned to appreciate the positive and the negative in life. a few years later my mom and dad broke up, my lovely grandmother died and i started expressing myself in making beats and writting songs about the struggle we went through. By the age of 14 i got my first equipment to record songs with. and i tell you, i've almost spended three years of my life, til i was about 17, livin for music, writing songs every day and let important things fall back just because of my passion. at the same age my past foundation (crackrocks) created a nationwide hype with a few songs which got leaked on the internet. after a few months we were so close to making our dream come true, record companies reached out for us but big egos came together, so we had to start from scratch. when i was 18 years old, crackrocks started ending up and the only members who still get with the pencils and drummachines are Beluga (Pela), TooNice (Sbeatster) and me. But of course shout outs to Sebsta and Tauer, too, by the way. shortly before we started breakin up we performed at the well known RHEINKULTUR-Festival, where ca. 5000 people got their hands up when we entered the stage, never forget. In the meantime I met the Grevenbroich-grown MC KRUZEY, who showed me new options to record at and truly inspired me making my mark in the game, thanks brother. In Grevenbroich, me and my brothers from other mothers PACE AND MARPH recorded three songs. we dropped them on the net and after 2 months we had over 3500 downloads of these tracks (stop hating). right now, we're working on a Despo Gang Mixtape which might come out in 2010, just like my solo mixtape VON DER TANKE ZU DEN STERNEN.
Right now, credibility is a must-have in hiphop. And to all the people who think that i/we talk shit on a regular basis - suck a dick up til you hick up.
You don't know shit.
Last but not least i want to thank all the people who support/ed me and us, who get down on the streets with us and all of those who share the same dream as us ----
