MATH is prepared to take over the music industry, slaying all competition with his quick witted, thought provoking lyrics and charismatic yet unassailable flow. Though his smile can melt the heart of the even the most bourgeois diva, MATH is not just another pretty face. No one-hit wonder here. MATH is after longevity and looks to make a significant contribution to the future of Hip Hop. There has never been a time more than now for an MC to enter the game to snatch the crown. The time is now for MATH. Delivering venomous rhymes that cause competing MC’s to second guess themselves and step up their lyrical game with his authentic yet nostalgic technique, MATH is prepared to take no prisoners on his way to the throne as the next King of Hip Hop. Since the beginning, MATH subscribed to the life of a street survivor, striving to make his way out of the Hood by any means necessary. An authentic product of the merciless streets of the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn and the infamous Crack Era, MATH was always a magnet for trouble. Surrounded by flamboyant, influential drug dealers and overwhelming flocks of desperate addicts, a young MATH became a stick-up kid in the early 1990’s. Hungry and misguided, without any available productive outlets, he stole from those more fortunate than he and his family. He received instant satisfaction out of the confrontation of testing the manhood of his victims and putting them in his signature sleeper hold. As a teenager trying to make it through four years at the infamous George Wingate High School, known for its own heartless rules of the survival of the fittest, MATH constantly found himself in physical altercations with students and staff. However, through the music of B.I.G. that played as the sound track to the ruthless life he led, MATH was able to persevere. It was at this time that he started to realize his talent and passion for Hip Hop, honing his writing skills and battle rhyming. But there would be one incident in his life that will forever stand out and leave a mark to remind him of the harsh reality that was his life. One to always hang with the older crowd, MATH earned the respect of many in his neighborhood with his mature demeanor and grown-man charm. Unfortunately, with love comes hate. It was during one legendary brawl outside of his home that an unsuspecting enemy of MATH’s pulled out a razor blade, nearly missing his mother, and sliced the right-side of his face. Till this day, the whereabouts of his overzealous assailant are unknown. Unlike many of his King County comrades, escaping a death or life behind bars, MATH now has a new focus and outlook on life and has developed new long-term goals: to provide a safe and comfortable life for his son Kai. In a sincere attempt to leave the grimy and corrupt street life behind, he has joined forces with the rapidly upward bound High Profile Management and the Grammy-nominated Eastside Sound Recordings to go full-on with establishing his brand in the rap music industry. Through his determination to get his career underway, MATH acquired over seven years of professional recording experience. He has recorded songs with the likes of Foxy Brown and has appeared on Hot 97 FM’s Street Soldiers in NYC and reigns among the Monday Night Fight Klub Elite battle MC’s, destroying all competitors with his verbal arsenal. In 2004, MATH had a vivid, prophetic dream of B.I.G. telling him that he was proud of his success and knew that he would be crowned the next King of New York. This dream provided MATH with the inspiration to complete his first album, “THE DREAM”. Production credits include heavyweight producers Kanye West, Clark Kent and Coptic. “THE DREAM” contains the new club bangers “TV G’s” and “OH YEAH”, and includes the street anthem “DEDICATION.” With these singles, MATH has taken the East Coast by storm, performing at venues such as; Club Speed (Shelter), Club Shine, Club Float, S.O.B’s, BK’s, Lime Light, Pyramid, Broadway City, Flatbush Fair, Harlem Festival, Philly’s Club Chrome, Billboards in South Beach, and headlining the Jump Off Tri-State College Tour. MATH gained the Hood stamp of approval in May 2004 when he tore down the prison walls at Rikers Island Correctional Facility with a powerful performance featuring his crew The Union. MATH’s mixtape “GOING FOR BLOOD” is available in stores now and has upcoming tour dates overseas. An overachiever and one who is willing to try anything once, MATH took advantage of the expansion of Hip Hop culture to the big screen and ventured into the film industry, landing two leading roles. MATH can be found playing Dequan, an ex-rapper who returns to the mic in order to survive in the independent Hip Hop film “Rap Wars One.” The film quickly soared to the top becoming the number one selling DVD distributed through Maverick Platinum Series and can be found on DVD at local video stores nationwide. More recent, MATH wrapped his second film entitled “The Body” in which he plays a jealous lover tangled in a web of deceit and hood drama. Diversity in this day and age can sometimes be contradictive, yet MATH has managed to master the arts of creating hardcore battle raps, club bangers and cuts for the ladies while maintaining his integrity. He has proven his ability to compete with established artists as he carves out his own unique sound. Rapidly on the rise, MATH is a refreshing addition to the crop of new MC’s competing for the spotlight. He is sure to build a brand that will endure within a fickle industry whose audience is identified for being intolerant towards phony rap acts. MATH aspires to leave behind a legacy that will inspire those who will follow in his path. He looks to set an example for what one can achieve through pure dedication, drive and confidence. MATH is the future. There is only one seat worthy enough to accommodate MATH. That seat is upon a throne which is only suited for one who will wear the crown of The King.
