I originally started off in poetry, I did it for class project and other assignments to get a easy "A" for it wasn't hard for me to put my emotions into words. But this ability also got me into alot of trouble with authority figures.

MATURE POETRY: (For mature audiences only 18+)

Music wasn't something that I was always interested in. Now I always loved music but the need or urge to perform hadn't come over me until my cousin LP started rappin and he had always liked my poetry, so he asked me if i ever thought about it. And sho nuff slowly through the years I started doing music. So I owe that to him.

Sometimes it takes a while for the music to upload so please be patient.
