Born and Raised Hip Hop

I just released my first long awaited album. I was referred to Fade and this site by @OGBama.

So I've been a long time lurker and bboy, dj, and now producer from LA, deeply rooted by boom bap and the strong culture in the city since I was born.
I've been in the game here and there with no real solo releases/exposure until now. I've been on the Wake Up Show showcasing my music with great feedback and I just disappeared again. People say i am hard to find and a very closed off dude.

So, I am unearthing music that has been sitting in hard drives, cassettes and even from reels beginning from 1998. Only a select few has heard these all these years, and never could let them go to anyone. I would appreciate a listen or 2. Hip Hop has given me life, a job, a love, and I have to give some back and contribute to our culture.
Listen or Purchase here and show your support.

Old Beginnings Beat Tape Vol. 1

Bless up.

Thanks for the kind words Fade. Yup, the Jay Dee era was a huge influence, and Jay Dee's bass lines were influenced by Domino's album by Battlecat in 93.

Welcome ILLien , whos your favorite beatmaker , which of his albums you love and which 3 songs do you love the most from him ?
That's tough to choose one producer, they all have different sounds. Tie with Pete and Dilla. But Jay Dee brought production to a whole other level. I studied Jay Dee enough to know that he raised the benchmark.

3 Albums - Fantastic Vol. 1, Welcome to Detroit, Fantastic Vol. 2
3 Songs - Tell Me, Find a Way (ATCQ), Vibeout (because he flipped a pete rock beat)
