1) How long have you been making beats?
About 2 1/2 - 3 years
2) What was your first piece of gear....or set-up?
First thing I worked with was Fruity Loops back when it first came out. Got bored with it quickly and found out I was decent at making beats so I invested some doe into a Triton. Now I have the Triton, Roland XV-3080, Mo Phatt and mixers and shit..so what I got now is really my first set of gear.
3) When did you produce your first song?
No clue, I used to write songs when I was 9 and 10 lol..so it's been a while.
4) Have you produced any tracks or albums that have been commercially released?
Got a few tracks on Capone's album which was advertised in The Source and Murda Dog magazine, nation-wide release. Got a few tracks on Nomaad's album, he got a commercial running on BET right now playing the first single which I produced, he goin nation-wide..probably will blow up big, he's mad dope. I worked on a beat with 40oz for his Hell Rydaz compilation and we're currently collabing on a few tracks for Suave's album which will feature Pastor Troy and a few other big south heads. Everything else I'm working on is still in the works, custom beat deals, shit like that...
5) If so.....what has been your most popular or successful one?
Nothing yet, noone's really released anything....just at the beginning of the start.

1) How long have you been making beats?
over 5 years... but just recently started studying platnum shit... and am tryin to get a couple straight beat albums pressed up for work..
2) What was your first piece of gear....or set-up?
An instrumentals cd and a mic... Then i got a roland 303 and added analog 4 track mixed with my house sterio... now im runnin my own studio and have to liquidate a lot of extra shit.
3) When did you produce your first song?
Actually when i was 13 i recorded a few songs about the 1st time i got high.. Its hidden beacuse i used a cheap keyboard for beat and a teak tape recorder to make it all in one take.. It is so weak!
4) Have you produced any tracks or albums that have been commercially released?
Nothin commercial, i have a few demos that have been just learning tools but been offered to be purchased for $50... i dont let my work out tho.. I made a few peoples cuts.. theirs always turn out better then mine.. its hard to make your own beats write and produce your own music.. its basically almost impossible to monitor and deliver at the same time.
5) If so.....what has been your most popular or successful one?
My friends have a lot of favorite tracks ive done... i dunno if the internet will ever hear themn or if they will make it to my album but ive reached a lot of people with my work.,

1. I started around 1992 or 1993.
2. I had a tape deck, a drum machine and keyboard (all weak as fuck.) I ran the drum machine to the tape L in and the keyboard to the R in... Then run that tape deck to the next tape deck, both outs to the L in and the keyboard ot the R in and repeat until the beat was done... Noisy as fuck from all the dubbing but I couldn't do much else... No sequencer on the keyboard either so I was playing the keys through the whole 4/5/6 minute track. Before I got the drum machine I'd dub drum loops off other albums over and over for drums...
3. 1993 or 1994... Headphones as a microphone recorded the same way beats were done above...
4. Not really, I've dropped beats on some underground albums/compilations, I don't think anything was released nationwide or sold more than a couple thousand copies.

Who? Me? Would I do somethin' like that? :devious:
Naw.....actually I just wanted to see who the serious and experienced people are. I'm just trying to get an idea as to what stage people are at in their musical "careers".....if that's what you want to call it?
OK.....fine. I'm waiting for Sick Wid It to reply because I'm still curious as hell to find out who he is!!! My plan has failed........I guess I'll just go eat worms.
