Artist History In 1997, I started a hip-hop/rap group called the "Polish Mafia" with my best friend and my brother. It fell through, even though we did get some tracks finished. It just wasn't meant to be, even though some members of the original Polish Mafia will no doubt be a part of my future work. After the untimely demise of the Polish Mafia, my brother and I set out to start our own solo projects. Being more influenced by rock and rapcore than straight-out hip-hop, it was the only option. Combining rock, metal, hip-hop, and rap tracks together on one album has always been my dream, with my voice connecting them all. I am also the frontman of a 4-man alternative/rap metal band, yet unnamed.
