Originally from Kingston, New York (Upstate NY) began rapping at the age of 14 during a local talent show. Started out in a group known as L.I.A.S.O.N. (Livest, Illest, Allie, Squad of Nigga's) The group of 8 rappers later broke up into 3 artists and formed T.C.U (Three Crown's United). The first and only release was Main Event in 1998. After many shows at their local high school, they got the opportunity to perform at a local Club in Boston, Massachusetts. After creating a name locally DYMEZ ventured into the West Coast and began producing with Producer/Engineer PLEX (originally from St. Louis) in a Bay Area studio. After creating 6 underground albums DYMEZ then made a trip back to New York to promote the music him and PLEX created in 2002. During his visit back to New York DYMEZ hooked up with various local New York artists and together they produced "The Coalition", who then released a compilation album. The album created a buzz through out the whole Tri-state area and kept DYMEZ name alive in New York.
In '04 DYMEZ entered back into the Bay Area scene and teamed up with Frontline Music Productions ran by DIAMOND JIM and Producer/Engineer PLEX. DYMEZ songs have been on radio stations such as Bay area’s 102.5 kdom with Jaeson V and 103.3 Santa Clara radio station with Vic and Ness. Since his return DYMEZ has performed with hip-hop artists such as D-12, KRS-1, Planet Asia, L7, Andre Nikatina, Frontline and other various Bay Area stars. Performing through out the bay area, San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose DYMEZ NY style gained Bay area love at a high speed.
In early ’05 DYMEZ and PLEX made a trip to ATL where they would run into TI and passed a demo off. That same week DYMEZ was featured on a mix tape produced by Way Deep of Motherland Entertainment Group (www.motherlandsound.com).
In late ’05 DYMEZ left F.M.P to find a new home after F.M.P was shut down. Recently DYMEZ producer and best friend PLEX has been producing and working with EMSI (Entertainment Management Syndicate, Inc.) located in San Mateo, California.
This is where DYMEZ is now recording more classic material such as mix tape freestyles and songs for a new demo.
DYMEZ comes into a show with skills including versatility, adaptation, and a unique voice that separates him from other artists. He speaks for the silenced, and can paint a picture with words. "Every artist has a story, and mine need's to be heard. I am living a movie and it's only right that the world sees it" ~DYMEZ
