Born November 10, 1979 and extremely scorpio, Myc Ripley is true to his being. A native of Los Angeles, CA Myc Ripley (born bee Stuart) moved to San Jose in 1993 to be with family, essentially escaping the grim and nonsense of the city of angels. Although the angels have my heart, it feels good to be in area where folks can't see you. (Interpretation : you can't see me.) Myc Ripley began writing lyrics in '93 being influenced by Method Man's Tical project. Ultimately, it was his mothers constant playing of her old reggae dancehall dub cassettes. BIGG UP MOMS!!!! 'cause she still hasn't stopped blastin the dancehall. So then, as you can tell my family background is that of Jamaica. All reggae artists has provided some type of inspiration and/or portrayed as an influence for Myc and all the music that is created by Myc Ripley. In 1999, Myc Ripley wrote and recorded under the name of "Cozmick Da Ayth Wonder" for Calico Park Entertainment (cpe) in a duo group named "Flewid" where teamed with good friend "Sonick Da Ill Trooper" made a maxi single of never released tracks. Upon cpe vacating Palo Alto CA looking for label sponsorship Flewid was left high and dry, eventually evaporating. Sonick moved to the dirty south and Cozmick tried to venture into his own production scheme. By 2001, Cozmick Da Ayth Wonder hath become Mr. Mychogg (mike-hog) Ripley and started recording for himself in his own little shack based in Eastside San Jose where he formed The DLC dysfunctional locol crew, wanting to be a west coast wu-tang, DLC consisted of 4-5 members and couldn't gather collectively so, Ripley started recording himself and recorded 75 unreleased tracks to date. In that process DLC was put on hold and Inf8nitbeatslump (Infinite Beat Slump) was formed. Rip's tracks have featured artists within the camp consisting of Smash Atoms, Krooked Keyz, BL, and ebreeze 3g for the sweet vocals. While BL moved to Sactown where they put they mack down and Smash in issues, Krook was the only one to record with, at times it was hard to do that. Couple of years passed and Rip started dabbling in the production realm where he started recording more in depth and creating a mix of different music. Also in 2003, Krook recruited Ace (Rauce Boss) Raustine (now Raustine D. Rauce), forming Cali's Finest between the two of them. Krook and Rauce had been rhymin wiith each other for awhile. After formally meeting Rip offered to record Cali's Finest as their sound engineer, since he had been working on his own projects, in turn was invited to be a part of Cali's Finest making the duo a trio in the blink of an eye. Now Myc Ripley is working on yet another solo effort, ready to hit the masses with hot tracks faster than a heat wave. BIGG UP and NUFF RESPECK in major way for the minority. WEST COASTIN 4eva eva!!!! SEE Cali's Finest board on my space as well. RipL |
