Artist History Chris Brown started rapping over other people's instrumentals under the alias of Browndogg in 1996 when he bought his first Gemini belt-drive Starter Kit. A year later he got together with Steve Kane-Parry, who rapped under the alias Vega, spawning the infamous Park Avenue Freestyle sessions. Vega introduced Brown to Alex Morrison, alias AM, and Andy Kaufman, alias Akrimone, and they formed the short-lived God Complex rhyming clique, recorded "State Of Mind", and performed a gig or two. When AM decided to pursue his prospects in the alternative genre and Vega's high school football career took off, Akrimone and Brown decided to work on "Sampled Reality", their second album under the name Sons of Belial. They just released "Sampled Reality", an album finished almost half a year ago and are now working on "The Anarchist's Cookbook".
