About

Memphis underground rapper and producer who was an early collaborator with Tommy Wright III and MC Spade, operating within the Whitehaven-area faction of the Memphis tape scene. He self-produced his material and distributed through the same cassette network that sustained the broader Memphis underground. His work sits at the intersection of Whitehaven's more self-contained network and the wider Memphis scene, though he remained relatively underground compared to his collaborators.
