BORN KENNETH LAMONT PATTERSON (2’NYCE), ON DECEMBER 28TH 1982 ON THE WESTSIDE OF CHICAGO TO MELVIN & LESHAWN PATTERSON. AT 4 YEARS OLD I ATTENDED WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, GRADUATED IN 98’. IN THE FALL I ATTENDED JESSE SPALDING HIGHSCHOOL, THAT’S WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIPHOP MUSIC, AT THE TIME I DID IT FOR FUN & JUST TO FIT IN. IN 2002 I GRADUATED WITH MY DIPLOMA. I ALSO ATTENDED THE ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF ART FOR COLLEGE BUT HAD TO PUT MY EDUCATION ON HOLD BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF FUNDS. RIGHT THEN & THERE I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING, SO I MADE MUSIC MY LIFE. AS A TEENAGER I WATCHED MY FAMILY FALL APART BECAUSE OF LOW INCOME. WE WENT FROM APARTMENT TO APARTMENT, STAYING WITH FAMILY, TO SLEEPING IN THE FAMILY STATION WAGON BUT JUST LIKE A REAL FAMILY, WE OVERCAME. THESE THINGS MOTIVATED ME TO WORK HARD AT MY DREAMS. GOD PUT ME ON THIS EARTH FOR A PURPOSE. JUST LIKE HE HAD A WORD FOR HIS PEOPLE, I FEEL I HAD A WORD FOR MY PEOPLE SO I USED LYRICS TO SPREAD THAT WORD.
THROUGH MY JOURNEY I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH MANY PRODUCERS/ARTISTS, SUCH AS CHICAGO’S OWN MALACHI OF THE MERCENARIES, STEVE ANDERSON (ENGINEER) OF STUDIO 11. IM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CLUBHEAD PRODUCTIONS CEO/PRODUCER/ENGINEER, KEVIN “KORVEIL” JAMES, AS WELL AS A HOST OF OTHER UNDERGROUND PRODUCERS FROM CHICAGO, NEW YORK, KANSAS & THE UK. I HAVE PERFORMED AT MANY TALENT SHOWS, OPEN MICS, CLUBS, CHURCH’S, BIRTHDAY BASHES, FUNERALS, ETC. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ME A FEW TIMES ON CHANNEL 19’S ELMA & COMPANY AS WELL.
I RECENTLY RELEASED MY 1ST OFFICIAL MIXTAPE ENTITLED “MY TIME IZ NOW” WHICH AS BEEN RECEIVING MAJOR FEEDBACK (ALL POSITIVE). IM CURRENTLY WORKING ON MY NEXT PROJECT ENTITLED “THE STAGE IZ SET”. MY MUSIC REFLECTS REAL LIFE OBSTACLES. I ONLY SPEAK ON THE REAL NOT THE UNREALISTIC. YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. I ONLY SPEAK ON WHAT IVE BEEN THROUGH OR WHAT THE PEOPLE AROUND ME HAVE BEEN THROUGH OR EXPERIENCED. I MAKE MUSIC THAT PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO BECAUSE EVERYONE CANT RELATE TO THE FAST LIFE, EVERYONE CANT RELATE TO SELLING DRUGS OR HAVING THE ICE, THE LADIES, OR THE FLASHY CARS. I TRY TO MAKE MY MUSIC VERSATILE AS POSSIBLE TO PLEASE THE BIGGEST CROWDS BUT IT STILL REFELCTS MY PERSONALITY. I TRY TO VALUE MY ORIGINALITY AS MUCH AS MY LYRICAL ABILITY. IM OUT HERE TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ME, IM READY & STARVING.
