Born in 1984 in the Persian Gulf, Mostafa spent his childhood years in a single parent household moving from place to place. Always the new kid, music quickly became his closest friend. His mother always gone at work or school trying to ensure a better future for her children, and his sister always out with "friends" He learned to be independent at an early age. At the age of 10 his father returned, and at the age of 13 he finally ended up in Bellingham, Wa. As he grew he started to stray down the wrong path and was constantly kicked out of his family home. Left homeless staying from couch to couch and sleeping on streets, he started "hustling" to keep a little money in his pockets. While living that life he ended up in jail numerous times as well as in the hospital near death. Needless to say he learned all of his lessons "the hard way." He started writing his own songs at 10 and in 2008 he was finally given the opportunity to step into the recording aspect of the game. In late 2008 he was fortunate enough to come into contact with "two of the illest producers in the Northwest," Deep Lemon and C-Legz. Throughout his short venture into recording thus far he has also worked with various other talented producers from all over the world such as Natural Beats, Allie E., Science, and M-Seq to name a few. Since The Release Of His debut solo Ep, "New Beginnings," He Has Been Hard At Work On His Sophmore Album, As Well As A Collaboration Ep "A Toast To The Moment," With Seattle Based Producer C-Legz. As a true Hip-Hop artist both releases promise to be something worth listening to.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"A lyricist that puts your soul on paper." - C- Legz-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Best emcee I've ever worked with, hands down.
