I'm from Ft. Worth, Texas. I started rapping at school battling with the comrades. I started writing raps based on my life's experiences and the experiences of my boys. I've seen a lot go on in the hood while hustling. Some cats saw me rapping one day and hooked me up with The Rally Boys in 1999. They released "RallyWorld Vol.1 which featured me on the album plus Roger Troutman, Too Short, The Hot Boys, Lil Keke and more. Then we released "Up In Yo Yard". I've worked with them along with Bun B, Lil' O, Mia X, 6'2, Kurupt, Lil' Flip and Devin the Dude. For more information, check www.3BigEntertainment.com. I released my first mix tape in the streets of Ohio and Texas in August 2005 and another in January 2006. The Album "Gotta Be Me" is scheduled for 2007, and my pre-release album "Tailor Made" will be released in March 2007. I started up my own record label 3 Big Entertainment and teamed up w/Grown Az Management & Entertainment for that extra push for my projects and my crew "The All Nighters".
