I've been a web developer for years and a music lover forever. I got hooked up in this gig through a lot of hard work and an amazing twist of fate. But now I'm here to make this experience the best online community for people who love hip hop.
I listen to everything from classical to country and from heavy metal to hip hop. I love music and how it transcends all racial, economic, and cultural boundaries to bring people together from around the world. That's why we're here building Loud.com - to bring together the people of the hip hop community and find the stars of tomorrow. Hey, if they can do it on that TV show, we can do it better here.

Thanks to everyone that has supported me from day one up til now. These 23 rounds of grindin have be crazy na mean. Alot of ups and downs. More ups than downs. Thanks to the haters for pushin me to put out some of my best music. Thanks to the people that kept it 100 too. This loud experience taught me alot. So Im glad to take somethin away from this. Thanks to steve, Joe, Rich and the whole SRC/LOUD/Universal staff for coming up with this site. Definitely a good promotional tool for some nice rappers to be heard that my not of been. So stay up, keep dreamin, and like biggie said the skys the limit!

So I lost rounds 1 and 2 eh (NEW) Round 1 I dropped "Got Wheaties" to make a statement. Basically saying that everyone should put there A in. A Game that is because this would be competitive so I fed everybody with breakfast for the Champions. And in it I created a scene where we were robbing Rifkin. Why? Because at .99 cents a pop it aint pocket picking. Hold on, I only said the rhyme because it sounded tight. I aint accusing SRC of being thieves--they're paying right. Anyway for Round 2 I lit that ass a "Firecracker" popping up religious subliminals just beyond the Manger. Even said de-oxidize to have my vocab optimized. Bet you'll still be thinking how I'm so good when the volume dies. Even today you can see the "Firecracker" particles on loud.com's December 6th NEW and EVENTS article.
So I lost rounds 3 and 4 eh (NEW) As for Round 3, I put out "Mars: The Dust". The lyrics from that song were nothing short of ultra marvelous. It even has one of the best lines I ever told. It goes: "English molecules are preferred to break martian code". A nice ass off the wall sci-fi track. You hijack a Nasa Blackhawk--better know how to ride that! And I was posting "Operation: Red Planet" on every single comment saying we needed troops...but got damnit. It was like I had failed to convert a fourth down. Ironically, look what I submitted for the 4th Round. "UT 39--USC 38" Even had a youtube video where you could see the play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8zZRBTOcnY). N-C double A could eat this up, see this as a thesis of using rap to expand the fans of the teams we love! And bottom line I was just bringing some original. But instant replay, let's review why Loud didn't find it pivotal. Wellll you better not be thinking that rapping about killing aliens is something niggas really can relate to. AAANNND if you think you can spit Gatorade over football raps talking all motto about how that shit "is in you"....
6 7 8 and 9 are Mysteries (NEW) If I win Round 6 it was probably because I escaped hell. That was one of the most creative concepts Loud ever saw-to-date there. Then again if I were to lose, I got disqualified cause I broke the rules. I took sorry old BATTLE RAP 11 and actually put that beat to good use. Round 7 comes around so I put out "Sherlock X" had to f*cking be the best track that I ever wrecked. But see spot number 7 still aint guaranteed cause my vote count was low. IT JUST HAD TO BE THANKSGIVING WEEK! Round 8 I dropped two versions of "Con Test III". On one of those tracks I wanted you to vote whack just to see if y'all were listening---most niggas were not! And if that's a round that I lose it's cause I broke the rules. I had took BATTLE RAP 15 and put that beat to good use! And for Round 9..."5 + 4", "Hurricane Ado", "Dream Chaser"....will I win one? I have no f*cking clue.
Round 10 Begins End (NEW) It's come to an end. Farewell for Round 10. Get your last votes in, thank you all for listening. It's been hella fun creating all these amazing tracks for a 100 thousand cash and recording contract. But at the same time a whole lot of this felt like a struggle. Cuz loud.com IS AND WAS MY ONLY HUSTLE! And I ain't got a damn clue of where I'm goin next. Hanging up the microphone actually might be the best. Hey but let me change the subject: I'm running out of time. I got four new tracks to record before the deadline. And though it may not seem like this-- I'm squeezing my brain to get these last rhymes out. Please don't refrain. Believe it or not I'm teaching the game. All you got to do is check my headline, you can read it in plain. Loud, who's that creative genius? You know his name. It goes Double to the what Method. Who's the one that keeps pushing boundaries and challenging the whole game? Double to the what Method. Come outside and rap....
Suicide Save (**Bonus) Philosophical residents, here’s an issue we must address: What the hell we gonna do with ourselves if we never get selected as a finalist? Would you think that you came up plenty short? Judgement Day: November 24th. Some would say it could mean the world and represents everything that they’re breathing for. Yo…Suicide--Is no joke--I won’t lie--I’d come close--Past few months--Just had me--So brainwashed--To get votes. Escape from the Zombie I had become. Ungodly Drowning in Rum, Bacardi, Coke to get numb. You got me…Nonchalantly we must live on. Grab ya car keys–go get gone, drive til ya calm, read some Psalms. Do whatever the f*ck you gotta do to stay strong. I made this rap but you can tell there’ll be no plans to use this self help. Cuz I bring a BUZZ like an american pale ale plus SRC Knows I’ll sell.
As we approach the last semifinalist round of this contest, I just want to thank God for allowing me to use my talent to express myself through music. Without him blessing me with the gift, the strength, the passion, the air in my lungs to breathe on the microphone…I wouldn’t be anything. My dedication for music has always been in my heart. My determination for winning, has gotten stronger each week. Although I have yet to win a round, I remain very humble and respectful to the other emcees and their talents. We’re all competing for the same thing and everybody can’t win. Since joining the site, and to this day, I’ve been through more than enough. Losing loved ones, friends, not being able to see my daughter like I want to. All this and more has made me a stronger person and I continue to P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happens). Even without the acronym, I will continue to push whether I win or not. If I do win, I will let all of my friends, family, and fans know…the only thing that will change about me, is the numbers in my bank account. I’m thankful for every vote that I get and I appreciate all the love and support. My ambition will not allow to stop grinding and just throw in the towel. At the end of the day, I just wanna be able to give people something worth listening to. Once again, I’d like to thank all who voted & showed love and support. God bless. -SLAP K.
