I'm from a city where it seems like no one makes it out. It's so overbearing with hate that no one supports the next man. We have no music industry in my city. Everyone seems to be trying to make it but never coming together to support each other. It's so much violence that it becomes a part of everyday life to hear of murders, robberies, etc. The school system is horrible, and watching the news is depressing. I came from this environment called Milwaukee (Mil-town), with a set determination that I would make it out. I have watched my brothers sell drugs, go to prison, (one is still in there right now - Hold your head Frog.) But I have never wanted that to be my story because it seems like a cliche in the music industry, especially hip hop to be from the streets and come up. Although it is the American Dream to rise to the top from poverty, I can certainly relate to this because my parents were never rich and my dad still works two jobs. But God blessed me with musical talents at a young age. While we would run the streets and have wars with other blocks in our neighborhood, I would love to duck into my house and play around with the piano that my oldest brother never played, as well as the drums. I asked God one day to touch my hands and teach me how to play music and that day he did. I am a producer that is different in hip hop because I don't like to sample records, I like to play everything original. And this has been a challenge because people want to stick to the norms and I like to go against the grain and push the envelope of creativity. I created my own production/record label called Elevator Muzik Group. I want to make it my mission to elevate my industry, my listeners, fans to a higher level with my music, my message, and just my spirit I put into my music. My new album "The World Is Yourz," came about from my dealings with depression, racism, divorce, spirituality, suicidal thoughts, being a father of three girls, being unemployed for 5 years now, my brother being on drugs and watching him lose his family and sanity . I came to the conclusion that the world is full of sh*t and I don't want it. I wanna keep my music as real as possible and make it very relatable because we all go through the bullshit. I want my fans to understand that its been a hell of a journey for me to get here.
