IN A WORD...
"I'm not a rapper, I'm a rock star!"
Thanks for stopping by this page in particular. It gives me a chance to talk to my base as well as a new generation of musicians, writers, and producers. My music journey officially started in 1989,
I moved to Atlanta from Washington, D.C. to escape to crack epidemic and the brutal violence that was present at the time.
My goals included pursing the music opportunities of the 1990's.. I was groomed early on by some of Atlanta's rising players in the game at that time. I was introduced to a friend of my big brother K.C. Chambers named Cedric "Ricky" Walker, who at the time was a concert promoter and worked with world famous artists like New Kids on The Block, Kurtis Blow, Run- DMC, Russell Simmons, Queen Latifah, Big Daddy Kane, Salt N Pepa, LL Cool J, and others, he started teaching me the importance of starving with your art and remaining loyal to your art form needless to say he was pissed when he found out I got a job as a waiter to help pay for studio time... He also gave me my first concert date where I opened for Big Daddy Kane at the "Too Damn Hype Jam" concert in 1990 at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, (now the Phillips Arena).
Ricky taught me that "An artist's craft should feed him/her and if it doesn't then starve until it does."
Ricky since went on to create and launch the Universoul Circus.
My mentor and Godfather Darnell Johnson also taught me how to lead, how to solve problems, and how to hustle, in short he took over where my father left off. I was 20 years old when Darnell started grooming and guarding me in my music career. Through Darnell I met his nephew, a hip hop legend named Damion D-Roc Butler, the best friend to the late Notorious B.I.G.
These people were instrumental in keeping me motivated throughout the 1990's and the early 2000's.
As you all know, I don't perform live anymore because I was left with a disability from the stroke
I suffered in 2015. My right-side was affected, so I'm now partially paralyzed in my movements on that side and it causes me to walk with a limp.
"So no jumping up and down on stage anymore, I just can't do it";
not to worry though, I'm still very active, I still make music from time to time, plus I go to the gym three to four days per week every month and I'm taking a lot better care of myself, No drugs, no drinking, no cigarette smoking, nothing that will harm me in the long run. My recovery was made possible by the presence of love and motivation from my friends and family. I learned a lot about me since the stroke and I don't mind telling you that
"sobriety is a lonely, disciplined and focused person's journey to travel";
Be that as it may, I got a lot more living to do so I'll travel this road gladly and be hopeful that I'll meet some new friends along the way, until then, keep it rockin'
