In 1989, GENCADE was holding microphones, in his house, on a karaoke machine, dreaming of one day grasping the real thing in his hands. Well, those days have arrived. and so has GENCADE (GENuinely Creatively Achieving Dreams Everyday). are you ready? because he is. Citing the influences of his favorite rapper, Big L, as well as being a fan of Big Daddy Kane, Jay Z and Eminem, GENCADE officially embarked on his journey when he began to take the craft seriously after a chance meeting with Wyclef Jean in traffic. Literally. Seeing Wyclef at a stoplight, GENCADE was confident enough to demonstrate his skill and had skill enough to not only get Wyclef's attention but also score an open invite to his studio. At that time Wyclef was already occupied with multiple projects, including City High, so GENCADE knew he had to spread his wings and continue on his path. Soon fate would again step in with another opportunity when GENCADE met the legendary Jam Master Jay through a mutual acquaintance. After displaying his style for JMJ, GENCADE found himself building a creative relationship with an icon only to be thrust back out on his own upon Jam Master Jay untimely murder. However, the flow he displayed for Jay garnered the interest of a financial backer, and GENCADE soon learned the meaning of the phrase "never look a gift horse in the mouth". Accepting that he would have back his own vision in order to manifest his destiny, GENCADE was again back on his own and back on his grind. Determined that the world would hear his efforts in 2003, he collected instrumentals and original beats from various outlets and self released his first mixtape "Broken Promises" with two additional mixtapes, "Heavy Rotation" and "Student of the Game", to follow. GENCADE discovered that throughout his musical odyssey he had matured and grown, and became his own artist as well as his own man in the process. Realizing that he wanted to be true to himself and his reality, he's drawn upon all of these experiences to produce a wisdom that would make itself apparent in his music. His "as yet untitled" debut, full-length project speaks to these lessons and imparts the knowledge gained from them. It is a culmination of the travels from boy to young man to true Hip Hop Artist. Creating his own imprint, Starfam Entertainment, he's taken the next step to become business man in addition to artist and ensure that his music maintains its legacy and place in the history of Hip Hop. So stay tuned, pay attention because GENCADE is an artist that refuses to be limited and plans to continue GENuinely Creatively Achieving Dreams Everyday, ya heard?
