The Main Event
Born in west Africa Cameroon on the 30th august 1985 and when I was one year old my parents split up. My brother and I stayed with my grandparents for a year while my mother went to America to get her life back in order. My Momma came back for as soon a s he could and took me and my brother to Philadelphia, in the USA, where we lived and grew for the next ten years.I was in America that I first started playing basketball and making my rhymes and music but at that time I was more on my basketball and rapping was just a hobby! I used to just battle people for money and just freestyle with my friends but I never really thought about making any songs professionally.
When I was 13 my mum got a promotion in her company and that also involved moving to London. I really didn't want to leave all my friends and family but it had to be done so we moved to finchley central. I started secondary school when I moved here and continued my basketball and didn't really do any rapping because hip hop was not so big in London in those days... everyone was either singing or doing garage stuff and I just couldn't do any of those... so my rapping slowly faded away.
It wasn't till I got to college in 2000 when I got a BAD injury in basketball and couldn't play for 2 years; then a couple people I new started rapping and messing about with St battles, I soon got back into it... and made quite a lot of money doing street rap battles.
I quickly realized you can only get so far with battling and so I started making songs and recording a few ideas and found this is what I truly want to do ...and I was good at it!
Some little while later, I hooked up Scobie and the peeps@ killer songs; they really focused my writing recording me and helping me find my style ... they have given me the chance to do some properly produced tracks and given me the confidence to believe that I could actually be in the music business!
So bring it on.
