When I was in the 7th grade I had listened to hip-hop to the point that I figured I would give it a go myself. When I first started out, well, lets just say I wasn't some sort of child prodigy. Ok, looking back, I was bad. Like I was really bad, but it was something I stuck with. Something that I was passionate about. I kept my lyrics in decorated composition notebooks. The contents showed I was definitely just starting out, but with each book I filled a busted to the brim with mangled hand writing and fancy doodles, you could sense the level of progression. By the time I was a junior in high-school I had met up with a group of guys I had been introduced to by my cousin, and became a member of the Miles High Crew, a rap group whose dreams rested solely in a mic hung in our friend's closet across from his stack of t-shirts.
I used my time with Miles High to enhance my skills and eventually left the group and became a member of BFO, a six man group I enlisted in when I reached college, and whom I've been with ever since.
Since I began my journey I've hit many highs, and a whole lot of lows. In the end, rhyming is something I've stuck with for over 12 years. Damn, my girl friend just called me old! (lol) I am proud of my accomplishments and encourage all to follow their heart. I'm a soon to be college graduate with a degree in journalism, and plan on making use of it; however, I plan on giving everything I've got to make myself as a known emcee the world over.
