REAL NAME PIERRE MASSON RAP NAME XAULT BORN HOUSTON, TX NOVEMBER 22,1983 RAISED IN MIAMI,FL SINCE I WAS 2YRS OLD. MY PARENTS SPLIT UP WHEN I WAS LIKE 2 THATS THE REASON I ENDED UP IN MIAMI. I AM CUBAN-AMERICAN. MY FAMILY CAME TO THE UNITED STATES WHEN FIDEL CASTRO CAME TO CUBA IN THE EARLY 60'S. I MYSELF WAS AN 80'S BABY BORN THE DATE JFK GOT SHOT 11/22. I HAD AN OK CHILDHOOD EVEN THOUGH I BOUNCED AROUND A LOT FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH MY MOM. FINALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL I SETTLED FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS WHEN I WENT TO CORAL REEF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN 1999. THATS WHEN I DISCOVERED MY LOVE FOR HIP-HOP AND RAPPING. STAGE FRIGHT, YOU COULD SAY, WAS WHAT KEPT ME FROM STARTING EARLIER THAN THAT. I USED TO GO BY XPOE, BUT IT HAD NO MEANING FOR ME, SO I DECIDED TO USE XAULT. XAULT, BASICALLY MEANIN TRYING TO UPLIFT OR RISE. BASICALLY I HOPE TO UPLIFT THE WORLD OF RAP TO ANOTHER LEVEL. I WAS RAISED THROUGH THE CULTURE OF HIP-HOP. LISTENING TO EMCEES LIKE BIGGIE AND JAY HELPED ME LEARN THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS IN LIFE AND WHAT TO DO AND NOT DO. I SINCE NEVER MADE IT PASSED 1 YEAR IN COLLEGE AND WENT STREIGHT TO WORKING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I GOT MARRIED AT 19 AND I HAVE 2 BOYS 2 AND 4.THEY HAVE RECENTLY BEEN MY MOTIVATION TO PERSUE THE BUSINESS ASPECTS OF RAPPING. I HAVE HAD MY DOWNS IN THIS BUSINESS LEARNING THAT SOMETIMES EVEN WHO YOU THINK ARE YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS WILL DITCH YOU FOR THE STUPIDEST OF REASONS. AS A RESULT WE HAD A HEATED EXCHANGE OF BATTLES ON MYSPACE.COM WHICH TURNED OUT TO GET PUSHED PASSED THE LIMIT OF INVOLVING MY KIDS LIFES IN HIS LYRICS. I PREFER NOT TO MENTION HIS NAME HE DOESNT NEED THE PUBLICITY. ANYWAYS I DID MOVE ON FROM THAT AND EVENTUALLY MET UP WITH SOME NEW EMCEES ONE OF THEM A LITTLE MORE ESTABLISHED IN THE MIAMI RAP SCENE. DYE-RIS AKA DYE WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON 305HIPHOP.COM HAS HIS MIXTAPE OUT "SHOW AND PROVE". ALSO IN MY CREW IS LATIN PRIDE AKA KNOWLEDGE ONE OF THE DEEPEST STREET POETS OUT. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST E-CLIPSE ONE OF THE BEST UN HEARD OF RAPPERS IVE MET. MYSELF IM HERE FOR EVERYTHING THAT THIS BUSINESS HAS TO OFFER. HOPEFULLY WITH MY RISING I CAN PUSH MY INDIE LABEL FTS "FLIP THA SKRIPT" ENTERTAINMENT.
