My story...
Music started for me when jungle was about, I use to learn them bate old school
street fighter lyricsà ken and ryu in the arenaà. I wish I could remember the whole
lyricà well those were the days when I started to spit then it died down until house
& garage came about, slowly I got back into spitting and then started to writeà those
times I didnÆt know what bars were and use to just write like 9 bar lyrics, these
were the days when crews were the in thing so I spoke to Jonah who went to the same
school as me and asked him if he wanted to form a crew so we didà it was meà Jonah &
Janer (MC Bigga!). We were called the Ruff Cut Crewà how bate is that nameà hold
tight Janer thats old school! I remember the day when Jonah bought his decks from
turnkeyà blood that was a long ting!!!! then as time went by writing and spitting
became long there were better things to do... so these times I started to concentrate
on my social life and left the whole music thing behind meà Ruff Cut Crew diedà but
Jonah was still on to the mixing, then as more time went by Jonah got on to some hype
were he wanted to buy a pc and make beats, I remember the 1st beat Jonah made he was
at yard with Adam and they started to re-make the rug rats tune I werenÆt there but
heard the beat over the phoneà I thought the beat was decent still! During this whole
garage music ting I had 3 close friends on to this hip hop movementà LSD (Lighter
Shades of Darkness) which consisted of David, Jebba & Alex, and then Alex had a
neighbourà Marcus, he was doing this garage ting as well under the name Nightmare
Crew which was him, Naathan, Darkness and Point 5. Then 1day Jonah, David and Naathan
are chilling at Jonahs and decide to make another crew which was named Haunted House
Productions, the original plan was to have LSD & Nightmare link up as a collective
with Jonah and make music togetherà slowly things started to kick off Jonah made a
beat, the song was called Lyricsà I heard the beat and asked Jonah if I could write
something to ità he said kool and then from there I guess I joined Haunted House but
these times I was dusty! Got on radioà Ouch FM and just kepted on writing barsà these
times still dusty! But Haunted House was building upà it got squashed from Nightmareà
LSD to just Haunted Houseà Point 5 left the teamà Leon joined the team (1st time he
recorded a lyricà it was a 1takeà shabby!) these times man use to record with a pa
shure mic and retwisted coat hanger with mummzi's leggins over it for a pop sheild
and man had to hold both mic and pop sheild whilst we recorded.... thats just
confusion (mans come along way still) as time went by we did bate road shows and even
entered urban voice... we didnÆt really get to far but I think thatÆs a good thing
(mans still dusty these times)à more time went by we recorded 442 (football) and then
the front men of Haunted House (Marcus, Naathan & Darkness) got on to Y2K then slowly
there became a divide between the team so me getting no practice on radio thought to
myselfà We gotta get on radioà simple! then 1day mans listen to Mystic FM and heard
an advert looking for DJÆs and what not, so I take down the number ring up and get
shown to bring a CD of us doing are ting, so I link management and drop them a CD
(Haunted Vibesà hold tight everyone that got that CDà them times there IÆm still
dusty) we get told to reach the meeting so me and Jonah reach, the meeting was in
some bate shopà Mystic them times was just ghettoà man meet management and boom we
get blessed with a 8 till 10 on a Wednesday (hold tight Passionate, Aggie b, and
Doubles) a month goes by and things are going well, then Adam goes to me if he could
get a DJ set mixing and making prank calls so I speak to management and boom we get
blessed again with a 8 till 10 on a Monday (hold tight Jamain Montanaà funny guy)
another month goes by on pirate radioà then 1day Pro goes to me that Kiss FM are
doing a competition where u can win a set on the station so boom man makes a quick CD
and David takes it down to kiss the next dayà a few weeks laterà the front men of
Haunted Houseà Naathan, Marcus and Darkness decide to leave the team for business
reasonsà this was a big hit to the team but man dem thought fuck ità weÆll just keep
grindinà then a week later we get a phone call (hold tight Ollie) saying we made it
into the final 4 of the kiss competition, so us man get all hyped and get on to our
grind for the competitionà we make a song specifically for the station (100s &1000s)
battle it through the soundclash got pure people to text and boom man dem won, we get
blessed with a graveyard shift but grind are way on to a Tuesday 11 till 1 show get
nominated for a Sony award didnÆt win but got a free mealà cant complain reallyà but
while all this kiss hypes popping off man clocks Pro on to this rap ting, man brings
him into the team and boom everythingÆs moving we re-record 442 without Naathan,
bring Pro on it insteadà Adam asks if he could join Haunted Houseà boomà were all
good to goà I quit work and were getting something like 60,000 hits a week per radio
show (IÆm still kinda dusty but IÆm making progress) we get offered a daytime Sunday
showà but us man donÆt take it for business reasons (it was a bit of a sell your soul
ting) and then slowly everything starts to fall apart again 442 was released didnÆt
do too wellà we released the tune to lateà everything has it time and we missed ità
then Pro & Alex decide to leaveà for business reasons and then things start going
funny with kiss... were reaching to shows late... and what not.... then boom we get
suspended... and a few weeks later we get firedà over the phone! for arguing with
security... hold tight security... I swear the majority of them are pricks not all of
them but most of them think cause they got a little uniform on there fucking feds or
somethingà your not cuz youÆre a prick! You know who you areà fucking nob headà There
were rumours of us man condoning the UMF rape ting and being kicked off for thatà
werenÆt thatà come on nowà to be honest i dont think kiss wanted us no more, they
wanted us to become more dj's than artists... and when we showed them we wanted to
pursue the artist career.... after that there werent much love! in the end the kiss
thing died... but it was decent while it lasted man come away with learning a lot
about the industry (its fuckrie!!!) i think being kicked off kiss was wake up call
no.1... it made me switch gear... shit was flopping and thats what made me focus and
thats when i felt like man started to get better... everything happens for a
reason... true story! so boom, no more radio.... so man starts to work on the awaited
Road Albumà Homework! These are the times man starts to progressà I aint got no 9
till 5 so all my time is focused on music & progressionà We make a 4track CD put it
up on to myspace made a quick video for On ità Adam gets a link with channel Uà boom
On it gets done and put on to U! Pro brings me on to his mixtape (Upper Clapton
dance) he brings me out on The Streets tourà he cant pay me but IÆm on it just to see
whats goodà and to be realà man learnt a lotà hold tight Skinner, the Mitchell
Brothers, Sway (your moving cuz!) watching them lot perform just made me hungry!!!
Man comes off tour gets back into the manor and then things start to go funny againà
my neighbours are on to me because of my studio and loud musicà then councils on to
mumzià THEN MUMZIs ON TO ME!!!! So man makes a quick move out to country rebuild the
studio out there and we get back on to the homeworkà Then I dust out for a hot month
to record my road albumà and now its done! this is my 1st road album and God knows it
aint my last... i finially feel comftable with my music... i can honestly say i dont
think im dusty anymore... this is start point for me... the plan now is to get
busy... the 2nd road album is in process... true story... i feel focused and ready!
bless, chynaman
