Notes
I've been recording and producing music for the past 18 years, starting with my first single, Proceed With Caution, recorded at Nastymix Records (Seattle Washington) in 1989. Music has always mimicked my life, and for the majority of the past decade and a half my life was filled with stories of crime, pain, incarceration, the game and hustling . I glorified these things through my music because living in the fast lane was all I cared about. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ, I have been saved and now dedicate this album and my life to following him and living in a way that glorifies Him rather than me. This CD is my testimony. It tells the story of my life and the story of how God saved me from the misery and destruction that used to encapsulate me and so many others in the streets who live a life of crime. When you listen, if nothing else, I want you to see that there is hope - a light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how far you have traveled in the wrong direction, you can make it back. In the secular rap industry, I've had 2 record deals, sold 8,000 records including 4,600 copies of my solo debut; Bail Money, and toured the western United States. In 1997 I was on tour with Coolio and the 40 Thieves while they were at the top of the charts with the singles, Gangstas Paradise, 1-2-3-4, and Fantastc Voyage I have songs with/and worked with artists such as: E-40, N2Deep, San Quinn, Mac Dre, Baby Bash, Bosko, Cool Nutz, Maniac Lok, Kenny Mack, J.E.T., Don Da Da, Bullet, Mackdub, JB Evil, and more. I've had feature articles in Vibe Magazine, Showcase Magazine, and also been in Murder Dog Magazine, Xplosive Magazine, Northwest Rap Review as well as other industry publications. Before starting Second Chance Records in 2007, I owned and operated indy label, To Die 4 Records (1999 to 2005)
