This Brooklyn born, Manhattan raised Emcee came on to the rap scene during De La's daisy age and witnessed the birth of all types of styles from Heiro to Wu-Tang. He began trying his hand at it in1992 with three friends in High school. Through ciphers after class and countless demo songs the foursome joined forces to form the crew Sight Beyond Light. During these years his experiences with lyricism as well as spoken word and poetry influenced him to become diligent with writing. But it was his crew's debut full length 'Full Spectrum Analysis' (released on Low Tech Records in '97') that convinced Sub-Conscious to pursue Hip-Hop music seriously.
