“It takes 10 years of extensive training to excel in anything”
Herbert Simon – Nobel Laureate
As 2008 wines down, I’m already thinking about 2009 and realized that 09 will mark my 10 year anniversary in the game. This journey started for me in 1999 as a 17 year old freshman in university. That’s when i started producing, flowing, witting, ect…
Scientific research has concluded that it takes 10 years of training for a player/athlete to reach elite levels or for an artist to master his/her craft or create their best work. This is called the ten year rule or 10,000 hour rule, which translates to slightly more than three hours of practice daily for ten years. I’m at the stage where i feel like I’ve mastered my rhyming, flowing, producing, mixing skills and I’m ready for the big league. It didn’t come easily but the long term result has put me in a place where my confidence, skill and swagger is unmatched and 2009 will prove me right.
I will write more about this at the end of the year as I look back at the past 10 years and set goal/expectations for the next 10.
I discovered and fell in love with Hip hop in 1989, started my journey as an emcee/producer/entrepreneur/engineer in 1999 and heading to the big leagues in 2009. IT’S MY YEAR….stay on the look out because big things will happen.
I’m not a rapper, I’m a LYRICIST on nice beats.

I agree with the 1o years to excel. I think we should say a minimum of ten years. Some things take longer.
