Artist History I started out in 96 just making music. Started playing the guitar, writing etc. I did spoken word over experimental soundscapes. About 97 I got into rap and did some more traditional hiphop. I was in a group called Element 79 in 1999. My first album, which is called "Mythology..picking up the pieces" was a balance of progressive and traditional rap, came out in 99.
