Working with rap or die, new look on the site... Trying to make 'us' the strongest san diego website based on real loyalty, a little hard work, some elbow grease and love for our city. I've been behind the scenes trying my hand at the business side, Working out deals with business partners and currently masterminding a social networking plan to implement that'll flow like water...

shit...beyond that...ive surrounded myself with a great team of hustlers, musicians, artists, producers, and overall go getters..and we all got the same goal in mind...to make this shit happen..brick by brick...its dope to be in the batkave and just see how all of us are constantly working at shit..im starting to feel like all this hard work were all collectively doin is about to get noticed..
i used to be on here talkin shit alot but ive matured alot and im no longer about that..anyone ive talked shit about im eventually going to make amends with because its bigger than that..im trying to make serious moves in 2009 or 2010....and imma get rich trying...stay up and support everyone in san diego like they are your family..scratch my back ill scratch yours....we are stronger in numbers...a dream is merely a plan you havent put into action yet...lets stop talking about it and get it...we can make anything happen...trust..

staring in 2008 I organized, promoted, managed & hosted about 2 shows a month until about march of 2009...some local showcases, some marketable headliners. I built a full service recording studio from scratch in National City with my boy Tait Henricksen, and Justin " Jaywat" Watson (get at Jaywat for Studio Time, it's an actuall business 619-248-4240) called Virtuous Studio's right on B & 8th Street's. I have done my absolute best to work with as many people as possible, and not shut out people on some, I'm better than you shit. I have opened up for numerous national acts to include: Strong Arm Steady, Sean Price, Canibus, ILL Bill, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Apathy, Lil Dap of Group Home, Afu-Ra, Rass Kass (on friday). I have consistently drawn people to every show I do whether I am invested or not. I just try to be a generally good person, and help alot of people out, connecting MC's with producer & Vice Versa, helping people get in contact with like minded people....I enjoy the fruits of a community so I have always tried to be a viable peace of the scene....and help towards the bigger picture..
Took That San Diego Stylie out 2 the Midwest B4 everybody was sayin SouthEast. Put fools up on the street life out here. Used 2 sock niggas who thought SD was all surfers and had no funk aka Triv. Whup niggas ass in madden wit them chargers even in college i used 2 whup heads wit SDSU but they way weak now. B getting n 2 stupid ass internet geakz because foolz think that since im in nebraska i cant speak on SD Bitches- shout out 2 the realas of Sick One Nina
Damn... As far as music, I shot some beats to a couple rappers here and there out in Dago free of charge. Thats about it. I kinda feel like I havent done enough but I would like to do more and network with more people out in SD. Even though I'm in the bay I cant let that stop me from gettin it in. Shit I would love to see my hometown get some shine.
I'd be here all night if I was to try and write everything but I'll give it a shot. Some people are probably oblivious to what I do but its all good.
