I`ve got somewhat of a rare release for y`all today & it comes from the rapper named Spliff, now with a name like that it was only right to feature him up on this BLoG....LoL, anyway I`m sure there`s a lot of folks out there that have no clue about this emcee so I`ll give y`all a lil` rundown...
Spliff`s love for HiP HoP began at an early age, in fact it started back in 1984 when he was only ten years old. He was living in Fort Walton Beach, Florida when he set out to make a name for himself & his city. Four years later (1988 to be exact) Spliff & one of his homies connected to form the group the 808 Posse, but the group was short lived though, disbanding in 1992 -- that`s when Spliff really started to grind on the music tip. His hard work finally paid off in 1993 when he linked up with an independent record label named Down $outh Records, which was later renamed to $traight 2 Gold Incorporated. Under the direction of the label he started to work on his first official project titled "Underground Funk"...
May 26, 1994 was the day that "Underground Funk" was released. A lil` later on in the same year Spliff`s father, who was in the Air Force at the time, received orders to relocate to Colorado Springs, Colorado. With the relocation came the end of his agreement with Down $outh Records, so in September of 1994 Spliff submitted his demo to Felony Records, a Denver, Colorado label. Impressed by his music, the label signed him & they released his second album titled "Bringin` Drama" in 1995...
He later opened up shows for acts such as Shang (the comedian), Keith Murray, DMD, Lil` Troy, Tha Alkaholiks, J-Shin, Kid Frost, Ginuwine & many others. Now sometime between 1995 & the present day Spliff changed up his moniker, he now goes by the name M.A.S.U. -- an acronym for M.ust A.lways S.tay U.nited. In 2001 Spliff a.k.a. M.A.S.U. connected with Born 2 Die Records to release "No Mercy". He`s also featured on "Paper Chasin`" a track from Mob Affiliates` 2001 album titled "Many Voices...One Flame". He`s also featured on "1, 2", "Tunnel Vision" & "Krunk Funk", all tracks from the 2001 $traight 2 Gold Inc. release, L.D. "The Power of Hip Hop"...
So there y`all go, hope that`s enough info` for ya. Now go `head & get to checkin` out the tunes, enjoy...
