As a concert pianist in the 50’s, Met’s grandmother was a big inspiration and attribution to his natural ability to play keys and produce music. Big Daddy Kane was Met’s first influence to writing rhymes. Kane said “you could put wings on your tongue and still couldn’t say nothing fly” and met thought it was the most genius thing he had ever heard. After he heard that line, met sacrificed every minute of his day thinking of clever punch lines, metaphors, and wordplay to show off to the neighborhood hip hop heads. This is where the name “Mr. Metaphor” was born. He started calling radio stations like Martin Moore and DJ Meham, Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito, and any other radio station he could get his voice heard on.
He began making a local buzz for himself. After internal conflict with his first group “SUB 4”, met decided to accept the invite from the other local Park Slope group making noise “Zooty Zoo”, and joined forces with Building Block (Block McCloud) and Will Tell. The 3 artists formed the group Word A Mouth and went on to be featured on the Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 album hosted by De La Soul. This Album was released in the golden era of hip hop and opened up an audience to Mr. Met so detrimental to his success today.
Soon the legendary Pumpkinhead, another Park Slope native MC came into the picture and the chemistry between the artists was like none other. They formed the Brooklyn Academy and went on to release a number of independently released records that topped college radio, billboard and dance charts.
Mr Met released his first and only independently produced album “Metropolis” in 2005. Experimental and mainly self produced, met composed a play list of no sample songs he created on the Triton Keyboard, playing different melodies and chords, singing his hooks, and experimenting with his bi-lingual capability to rap and sing in French. That same year met traveled to Cannes France with the Lyricist Lounge for the “Midem” conference, and made some strong business contacts with many international music companies around the world.
Along with experimenting on the musical side of hip hop, met decided to step into the business side of the entertainment business and began event coordinating and throwing parties. He started Remarcable Entertainment which has now gained a very respectful reputation for its brand. Met has worked with Funk Master Flex of NY’s hot 97, DJ Gold finger, DJ Red Alert, Stretch Armstrong, Rich Medina, and has gained relationships with hundreds of DJ’s in NYC. As a solo artist met has toured England, Canada, France, and has performed in Vermont, Albany.
New Jersey, and countless venue’s in NYC. As a member of Brooklyn Academy Met has toured all over the world and countless cities up and down the east coast and the Midwest. Met is a highly respected artists. He is your favorite artist’s favorite artist. His witty lines, advanced flows, bi-lingual raps, and incomparable ability to write a song separates him from the over saturation of mc’s in the hip hop game. He is a true professional song composer made for the entertainment business.

Love is in The air
Listen to me
I'm always there
Come together

Oh darling

Music never ends
Music always rule
Now we clap our hands

Here there and everywhere
Music always care
And is always fare

Music here to lead
Feed me and succeed

Dance for me my girl
Turn around and twirl
See your body swing
Wanna be your king
Bring me to your heart
Let me be your counterpart
Listen to the beat
Feel The loving heat
Come to me at once
Do a rap and bounce
Hear The lovely chord
Welcome you on board
Stomp your feet and
Move your hand
Hit your drum and
Join The band

In the song "Free My Soul" by Mr. Metaphor, the artist talks about the power of music and how it can uplift one's soul. He starts by saying that he's always there for the listener, and then he talks about how music can bring people together and create a loving atmosphere. The chorus describes music as a never-ending force that rules over everything and is always fair. Mr. Metaphor believes that music is the foundation of his life and he can't do without it. He wants the listener to feed him with music, which will help him improve and become successful.
In the second verse, the artist talks about how his music makes him feel. He wants his girl to dance and be happy and he wants to be her king. He wants to be one with her and wants her to join him on the musical journey. He believes that music is the ultimate force that can bring people together, and he wants to share that power with his lover. The bridge of the song is an invitation to the listener to join the band, stomp their feet, and join the chorus.
