My relationship with Hip-Hop is more intimate than the average emcee. I bleed hip-hop and right now I'm on my period!! I became a fiend ( oops, I meant fan) of Rap Music in 1983 when I first heard Run-D.M.C. and I have been writing ever since. I'm 28 now and I don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. My foundation was built on battle rhymes but I realized a long time ago that you need to be able to speak on a variety of things in order to be a complete emcee. I am from Saint Petersburg Florida and I want people to know that we got some true lyricists down here. Influences: Run-D.M.C.,Rakim, E.P.M.D., Public Enemey, Outkast just to name a few. visit www.shadcore.com to purchase my latest album, "Waste Management"
