I wanted to create one of those types of mixtapes that inspired me to be a DJ in the first place

Water Beast

My story begins in Harlem N.Y.C February 1978, the year Hip Hop was born.  I was trained in all 4 elements.  By the age of 12 I was an expert in the art of djing.  Mastering in back spinning, beat juggling, and transforming.  Producing blend tapes in the 90’s led to my next stage in hip hop development; Beat making.	The MPC2000XL became my weapon of choice.  70’s soul records became my ammunition and the world became my target.  After getting the snakes and the leaches off of me I can now for the first time really focus on my music.
