In fact I won “Artist Of The Year” at The Pittsburgh Hip-Hop Awards in 2011 and I released a critically-acclaimed mixtape series entitled “Bricktales Vol. 1 & 2”. My Philosophy Is “Stay Loyal and Stay Hungry.” I was born and raised in the gritty and grimy Northview Heights Projects. I’ve actually lived the life that I rap about and my music incorporates an element of realism and rawness that is authentic.
