Celph Titled was born in Tampa, Florida and grew up in the heart of Hillsborough County's rapidly expanding multicultural landscape. The product of an Ybor City Cuban-American mother and a German-Scottish father, Celph's folks always encouraged his knack for creative expression. In the 80's, young parents that videotaped all the classic videos on MTV and an uncle in a popular local rock band had a big impact on the scope of Celph's musical inspirations. "My dad used to show me all the classic videos; 'Thriller', 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' and everything else from Herbie Hancock to ZZ Top, so I was always glued to MTV. Then one day I saw a Fat Boys video it was over. I knew I loved this music," Celph recalls fondly. After penning some of his own lyrics and making beats with minimal equipment, he began recording demos in the early 90's on his uncle's 4-track machine. When asked to describe that particular time in his life, Celph states, "I knew from that point on that I wanted to be a recording artist and I never stopped chasing that goal. I was quite the mischievous kid but it soon became clear that hip hop was my calling."
Still a teen fresh out of high school, Celph's relentless hustle and talent were noticed when he was courted by an independent record company to relocate to New York City and begin working as an in-house producer and A&R. This was the move that would change his life and give him the platform to establish a name in underground hip hop. The now-defunct BUDS International and Bronx Science Records released all of Celph's early records on vinyl, including his original group, Equilibrium, and singles from career-long partner-in-rhyme, Apathy. After soaking up the NYC scene for a few years, the hard work and dues-paying finally began to pay off as publications, websites, taste-makers and even major record labels began taking notice of the pale-skinned Latino and his associates. As a leading member of two legendary crews, The Demigodz and Jedi Mind Tricks' Army of the Pharaohs collective, Celph became a fan-favorite for his standout quotable-filled performances and hard-hitting East Coast-style production featured on the crews' respective blockbuster releases. In addition, Grammy-winner Mike Shinoda, of Linkin Park fame, invited Celph to join his Los Angeles cohorts, Styles of Beyond (S.O.B.), as an official part of 2005's Fort Minor project, released on Linkin Park's Machine Shop/Warner Bros imprint and executive produced by Shawn Carter a/k/a Jay-Z. Aside from his appearance on that album, and his jaw-dropping verses on the industry-approved DJ Green Lantern Invasion "Fort Minor: We Major" mixtape, Mr. Titled embarked on a nationwide tour with FM in 2006. Following the tour, Celph released a unique compilation entitled, "The Gatalog." The impressive quadruple-disc set captured a long discography of Celph's guest appearances and freestyles, going all the way back to his early releases from 1998. The comp was a great success, continuing to buzz and remain a top-seller consistently, even years after its release. The word of mouth spread vigorously and it became the catalyst in generating a tidal wave of demand for a proper solo debut from Celph Titled. It was a plan that worked better than ever, as it set up the enterprising MC to have the privilege of releasing an official debut to a thriving fanbase that already viewed him as a seasoned veteran.
After the release of "The Gatalog" and a move back to his Gulf Coast hometown, Celph spent three years working with iconic 'Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.)' multi-platinum producer, Buckwild, on what would become his October 26, 2010 debut album, "Nineteen Ninety Now" on No Sleep Recordings. Spearheaded by longtime friend James "DL" Ellison, the project set out to be a first of its kind, utilizing never-before-released tracks made in 1994 and 1995 and creating new songs out of them with the stylings of present day. As a true scholar of the 90's golden era of rap, Celph explains, "This is the project I've always wanted to do. To have my debut produced by a legend like Buckwild can't be topped in my mind. My first album is always going to be looked at as a masterpiece by my fans. It reminds you of the techniques no longer used in today's hip hop and it takes you right back to that feeling, even if it's just for one album." With a critically acclaimed solo album under his belt, Celph Titled is now an independent mogul and a monster force to be reckoned with. To feed the fans' rabid appetite to be a part of his movement, he has created his own brand called Mad Ammo, which will represent not only his apparel line but also the next wing of the Demigodz/Pharaohs family.
Truly no words can do proper justice to describe the uncanny attributes of this man's character. A militant, war-savvy style inventor that can only be self-described and does whatever the f**k Celph decides.

Celph Titled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t ever push yourself against’ the wall
Cause everybody at a time knows it gets raw
And if you step, we’re going to shatter your jaw
(Cause if your fucking with one kid, yo, you’re fucking with ‘em all)
(Verse 1: Celph Titled)
(Yo, who the fuck are you?)
Don Juan steeze be razor splitting you
Rubix Cuban unsolvable, the high tech arsenals
Shiny metal things spit something horrible
Vocal arrangements inaudible
Pistol whip you
Mandatory, not option, what you stupid?
My clique consists of dirty dogs, and Cuban mafia children
Plastic explosive play dough the money is mine if I say so
Ain’t no thing in this universe that could ever be my match
Celph Titled without fly raps is like Slick Rick without an eye patch
Now how you like that?
Yup, my recipes dope I’m used to the game like Jeopardy under the oath
And lethal like white boys in trench coats
Straight up and down I’m serving niggas with 16 bar sentences
My spoken word is contagious and cancerous
I cancel kids like answering messages left by solicitation receptionists
Like my man Dutchmassive, we aggressively repping shit
(Ain’t no question kid)
Lurking in the everglades
While you at home watching cartoons
I’ll be sitting on the dock of the bay, with a harpoon
(Chorus: Dutchmassive)
Don’t ever push yourself against’ the wall
Cause everybody at a time knows it gets raw
And if you step, we’re going to shatter your jaw
(Cause if your fucking with one kid, yo, you’re fucking with ‘em all)
Don’t ever push yourself against’ the wall
Cause everybody at a time knows it gets raw
And if you step, we’re going to shatter your jaw
(Cause if your fucking with one kid, yo, you’re fucking with ‘em all)
(Verse 2: Walkman)
And pissed off the wrong one
Hand break my pencil piece when I write this
A head storm shatter skulls
Speaking of blood sport, splatter over all pearly white
Fresh contest blazing adrenaline behaving rude and absurd
While the out of states criticize from the outside viewing
In observing and stressing us, the tropics
Fuck all you corn hole fuckers with no logic
Brining the heat, scorching your bare feet
Sprinting butt naked, long distance
Decking moving objects, direct shots but beaming optics
And that’s the instincts of a natural at time
If you ain’t heard right, I split bricks, strictly certified blaze shit
Light speed I’m sonically inclined with godly insight
Niggas get blow to bits like megabytes
Can’t fuck with this, alright
Storm dash trooper, the cybernetic intelligence
The 5th element regiment, crush your residence into sediments
Encrypted flows with the centrifugal dialect
The Puerto Rican cybernetic one
Authentic while you synthetic son
I hold down the galaxy with unanimous connections
Quantum physics expert ripping holes right through your guess shirt
The seven squadron dynasty get down and dirty violently
Walkmen and freestyles with the emcee seeking missles
Atomically stay blazing accurately bout to black out of this
Is Tampa’s side of things and that’s what 8-1-3’s about
(Chorus: Dutchmassive)
Don’t ever push yourself against’ the wall
Cause everybody at a time knows it gets raw
And if you step, we’re going to shatter your jaw
(Cause if your fucking with one kid, yo, you’re fucking with ‘em all)
Don’t ever push yourself against’ the wall
Cause everybody at a time knows it gets raw
And if you step, we’re going to shatter your jaw
(Cause if your fucking with one kid, yo, you’re fucking with ‘em all)
(Verse 3: Dutchmassive)
Yo, I sense anger, how you going to diss a total stranger
Talk about my records, I’m a have to rearrange you
Feel this laser, you’re not who you pretend to be
Knock off your identity and aim for longevity
Fuck your concepts, I can do without your comments
The liveliest player on a catcher burning comet
You make me vomit, sick of all your trends
If I break all keyboards before tracks the wackness ends
Constantly stay blazing, F-L-A is dumb hot
No glocks baby boy, I’ll smash your jaw with a cinder block
Hard knock not, I’m just a little anti-social
We word wide, while y’all still think we local
My name is Dutchmassive, remember that shit
I’m killing kids, girls that diss me, get the di-dick
Only got a few close friends and that’s way too much
Cause soon they all jock us when we blow the fuck up
