Tranqill

Tranqill is my absolute favorite U.K. MC! We met will I was on tour. He noticed I had no London dates & asked if I'd like to come to London anyway to record and possibly get a gig. Upon my arrival we skipped a few fares & hopped a few trains to get to the studio. (my first trip to london started off great!) Once at the studio, we had a cypher of beats & rhymes and his style really impressed me. We've done a few tracks since but the full album is finally coming. Check this track out from in the mean time.

Olivier Daysoul

Olivier (Olivier Daysoul) ST. Louis is a singer from the DMV who has lived a good portion of his like in the U.K.. We met during one of his visits back to DC and decided we should work together. Since then he's been featured on allot of my material & we've finally done a full project together. Be on the look out for the "Mr. Saint Louis" EP soon!

Stik Figa Mayne!

John (Stik Figa) West Brook is an MC I came across from Topeka, Kanas. I first heard him on Miles Bonney's myspace page which then lead me to his own page. I loved how skillful & thought out his rhymes were but still managed to have a comedic undertone. I hit him up, ask to produce him and he said yes. He flew out to DC & within 4 days Stik & I completed 12 tracks. The album will be done, titled & available soon. In the mean time, check Stik Figa out on "What's Crazy", (Track from my "Mental Liberation" compilation) Stik's on the third verse.
