Being of Haitian descent through both parents and being raised in a Haitian household, exposed O.B.A.$. to the trials and tribulations of life early. Living in the belly of street ills, a young poet would emerge. Touching a microphone for the first time ever in February 2005, this young man immediately showed and proved a talent far beyond his peer group. Enlisting himself in rap battles in his residing state of Connecticut, in less than six months to the date he became reigning champion with a record of 32-1-1. His next move was to release a series of mixtapes with his lifelong theme 'Eyez On The Prize". With great responses, Vol. 1,2,3,4 & 5 launched O.B.A.$. to local stardom. Soon being recognized as a contender in the streets of his state, many street magazines and dvd's such as; (STREETCONNFINEMENT/ One-Self/ Street Enigma/Tha Katch22 Project/ Boom Banging TV/ Video City TV/ B CAT TV(Brooklyn NY) along with a string of others, this Haitian brotha was a forced to feel. Equipped with a stage presence like no other, live performance shows would separate him from the amateurs. Opening up for headliners such as; DMX/Mobb Deep/50 Cent/G Unit/Papoose/Dip Set/ D Block/ Fabolous/ Red Cafe/ Mos Def/ Floetr/Beanie Sigel/State Property with many, many others from various states from Boston to S. Carolina. Wearing many different hats, such as a promoter booking over 10 major acts alongside himself throughout the state, adapting a "business as usual" attitude with over 47 successful parties and teaming up with different indie records for promo runs, there is not much this artist has not done. O.B.A.$. has turned to the internet in hopes they will make the industry aware of his presence.

In his own words, "Sak Pase, Nap Boule-Eyez On The Prize for ever, let the journey begin! Cest La Vie!!
