$10.15 WELL..... I was asked to do this: Ok, it all started some time ago when my mother and my father both met and found a way to get alone and then I was produced - a bouncing baby boy with talent. I grew up in a house full of music, my grandmother sang, my grandfather played the piano like a man possessed, and my mother, bless her heart played the french horn and the saxophone. My father, I later found out, played the guitar and sang his life away, singing to the ladies, I hear he was a true pimp, but hey, that's beside the point. For years, I watched and studied the hand and finger movements of my grandfather, waiting to later try out the skills that I learned. I spent many nights alone at the piano, touching and testing every key till I got his melodies right. Through this process, I learned to play by ear. At first, I thought I was going to be able to sing to the world, and give my soul through the vocal talents inherited from my grandmother's side of the family, but after puberty hit (and the testosterone made my voice deeper) that dream had to be put on the back burner. So I decided, (after hearing Eric B. for President for the first time), that rap was the way to go. I loved how, with words, they were able to paint such a picture that my mind would be completely lost in the song, picturing I was the one reciting the words. I was hooked. Around the time Big Daddy Kane hit the world with R.A.W, I was buying my first turntable, I got the money winning the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ..I have a Dream.. Poetry contest at age 12. The second one came from a good friend of mine, Kelvin. He also taught me how to scratch, and got me interested in doing tricks. I even entered a couple of DJ competitions (you had to see the guys who won, they were crazy). I became the DJ for various local groups, providing the beats while they would rhyme. Even had a little mix CD (tape) thing going at the time, before there was such things as a mix CD. We would rock over any instrumentals, Chubb Rock, caught up, Salt-N-Pepa, Push it, just to name a few. These were our beats and our means to make the party rock. Ken Double E, Terror MD, and White Al-love you guys forever!!!!!!! I started DJaying parties throughout the neighborhood the same year I got the turn tables, loving the music and how it made the people react and move across the floor. I wanted to be able to play my music and have them do the same. -so at 13, I started my Demo tape (remember tapes???) with a producer friend of the family, Gregory Wooten. He showed me how to sample, arrange and record music, I..ll never forget that. (Pepsi and Sofie, I'll never forget those days working in 300 Apt. 5B, never) Age 14, I started High School and met up with Free and Sid V of Duo Live, Talib Kweli, Adrian and Cyriac, my partner in crime Odyssey the I.L.L.K.I.D, Lord Cyra Unique, MC Mecabee, Sniper of S.W.A.T and a few others. Free gave me the name Whisky the first week of school, and from there it was a wrap, the person who stands before you now was born. I started to perfect my rhyming skills while battling at the lunch table. We even used to have the deans and security guards standing around clapping and cheering for the best or worst comments that could have come out the mouth of teenagers. A couple of fights even broke out (some people just couldn't take losing). By this time, I hooked up with Mc. Barry the promo king. He helped produced my first full length demo, and he inspired me to work harder on production (Pyshco man will always live for me), and my mix tapes. He was killing the blends and mixes more so than any other DJ besides Kid Capri - he was that nice. Well, after playing Spliff star to his Busta, I got up with ...
