Biography
I was born and raised in Corpus Christi TX, But moved to Albuquerque NM when I was about 8.

My family influence is simple... When I was six years old my cousin Mark died from a fatal car accident when he was only 21... We were super close and he told me I could be what ever I wanted to be. At that point I felt I had a voice that needed to be heard. I took the pain from his death and spilled it onto paper, writing poems and short stories. The poems started to rhyme. At around 8 or 9 I heard my first rap record, "Slim Shady LP" and it all pretty much went on from there... To sum it up Mark made me who I am today...

What I want to achieve through out my career is understanding.. I want to tell stories and rap about whats around me the stuff I see.. I want people to understand where I come from and learn from the mistakes I fought through.. I want people to hear me and say, "Damn, He knows what its like, his lyrics are poetry on a microphone... THAT'S REAL HIP HOP.."
Real hip hop is what I hope to bring..

"Its not all about the dollar signs and the fans that I get. I got love for rap and that, I'll never forget..."-DZAN
