CRISIS

Born & raised in the Soundview section of the Bronx. The last of 10 children. I grew up surrounded by everything Hip Hop from Breakdancing to Graffiti to DJ'ing & MC'ing and around everything criminal from selling drugs to shootouts in broad day light. I use to always hear Hip Hop songs being played by my older siblings & their friends as a kid but got heavily influenced by my first official tape witch was Big Daddy Kane's "Looks Like A Job For", witch I don't remember how I got it but I shouldn't have had it at the age of 7, but times were different back then. I use to sit down with a notebook and a pair of Headphones and write every verse to every song down and memorize the songs on weekends. I use to get in trouble for reciting the words out loud all the time. After that my love & passion for music (mainly Hip Hop) just started growing through the years. I wanted to start actually creating music around 1993 around the time Wu-Tang Clan came out but didn't write my first rhyme till 1995. The following year I linked with The Chosen Few out of Lambert Projects in the Bronx and was introduced to the art & process of writing and formating a song with a concept. That just made me appreciate all the Albums & Songs from my favorite MC's from Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Krs One, Rakim & The D.O.C. to The Wu, Cypress Hill, Nas, Redman, Biggie, 2Pac (R.I.P.), Big L (R.I.P.) & Big Bun (R.I.P.) even more. That's when I wanted to take it to the next level and learn how to make beats and create my own songs. In 1998 I linked up with a good friend who had the same vision I did and we formed Trilateral Enterprise, LLC. We purchased a MPC 2000, a keyboard, a sound module, a Mic & a 8 Track Tape Recorder. By the next year we had a Digi001 Pro Tools set up and were recording songs while learning how to work the equipment. In 2005 we were featured on FunkMaster Flex's DVD & Rap Fanatic Magazine. We were also nominated for 2 Underground Music Awards for "Most Promising Hip Hop Group" witch we won & "Best Underground Song". We built a studio from the ground up the following year. In 2008 I took a break to refine my production, engineering and visual & graphics skills to be able to create more then just music in house and understand the process when we collaborate and outsource different projects. Now I'm back and ready to introduce the world to to who I am.
