BIGG SPANK

I was born in San Francisco, CA on May, 23rd, 1977. From Saint Mary’s Hospital to 17th floor of Geneva Tower Projects is when my journey began. In 1979, I moved to Long Beach, CA where my younger brother was born. Soon after that, my mother rounded us all up, jumped in the car and moved out of Long Beach. We intended to head out of State and start a new chapter. Things changed once our car broke down in the city I now live in….Salinas.

After living in the car for a few days, we all moved into a local church. They allowed us to live in a little area of the facility. I was very involved with the Church and this is where my love for music began

From the church I moved into a homeless shelter. The homeless shelter we lived in was in China Town. China Town is a part of Salinas that is known for its drug trafficking, prostitution, and many other illegal activities.

At a young age I was exposed to things that a child should not have been exposed to. From the homeless shelter I moved to the East side of Salinas. The East side is highly known for its gang banging activities. At that time, I was knocking Run DMC, Cameo and The Beastie Boys. Those are some of my early influences to music. I then started free styling in the hood while hanging out with the homies on the block. Years passed and E-40, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Brother Lynch, X-rated & C-Bo were some of the artists that inspired me then..

I started recording my own demos on tapes. From tapes to CD’s I now have 3 albums and working on my 4th. Through all life’s up’s & down’s, I am thankful & blessed to have been through hardships which made me stronger, physically, mentally and spiritually.

For all of those who have been or are going through the same trials and tribulations that I have, just remember… “THERE’S NO HILLS TO HIGH FOR A STEPPER.”

C.Y.

Born and raised in the Bay Area California. I was born in the city of San Francisco Ca at S.F General Hospital I grew up in the Neighborhood of Bay-view lived with My grand mother at the time moms and 3 sisters and aunties and some other family.

J FUNK

J FUNK

Well I..m a 28 year old of, Irish, French and German decent. I was born in a small country town called, McMinnville in the state of Oregon. Up until the age of 8, I was use to living the country life. Once I turned the age of 8, my mother, brother and myself packed up and moved to California. We ended up in East Oakland in the 20's (the murdaz) off Fruitvale in 1986. I stayed there for a few years then I started moving around a lot but I always stayed in the BAY AREA...

I ended up finishing my JR and SR high school years in Castro Valley CA. I was always into music, a little bit more than your average kid was back then. Music to me was never just music. It was like certain songs gave me certain feelings when played in my head. So many songs find different ways to touch the heart, mind, body and sole of a person.

I guess it was about this time when I really started to get into music. I met Twon (aka Pharoah YT) Charles (aka C Notorious) Steven (aka Breeze) back when I was a freshman in high school. We used to bust freestyles at parties talking shit or just chill in having a few drinks or just smoking. It was at this time we decided to take it to the next level. So Pharoah YT, C Notorious, STL, Breeze and myself evolved into 798 Click.

The name J FUNK came from my style of flow. I..ve been told on numerous of occasion that my style of flow has the melody of funk flavor to it. People were amazed and surprised at the same time. They never knew how I was going to come or how I was going to come next. Thus FUNKADELIQ was born. Moving on, as a lot of business ventures go bad, so did the 798 Click.

We had a good run, live performances, private parties and radio appearances at 106 KMEL and WILD 94 9. We went our separate ways in1986.

A short time after, Pharoah YT approached me and thus along with C Notorious, TOMB WORLD ORDER WAS BORN. And one thing you can expect from me is realizim, funk, and something you can feel!

Lyrical Raidas

Lyrical Raidas, A group made up of 3 talented young men. C.Y, Yung D., XL all bore in raised in the Bay Area Ca. The Groups Genre of music is Rap and Hip Hop. We make for all music listeners to listen to there is a variety of different sounds of instruments used and vocals sang or rapped I should say.

Lyrical Raidas right now is working on finishing their first project and just recently signed A Contract with I Did Dat Productions Inc. The group is also reaching out to the fans and letting them know that their first album will be released soon and they will keep them updated with information including the date of release. The 3 Musicians will promote their album online and offline using Myspace, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter and offline using Flyers and by word of Mouth.

Lyrical Raidas was started by C.Y and XL. The 2 musicians met thru their girlfriends who work in a bay area city together and were introduced. We got to know each other and talked about what we wanted to do and we went on from there and collaborated and came up with the Name Lyrical Raidas shortly after. Yung D was introduced to the group a short time after. Yung D was rapping before the group with friends and family. Yung D. being related to C.Y his uncle wanted to be a Lyrical Raidas C.Y and XL talked on the subject and decided to give Yung D a shot and he has been a Lyrical Raidas every since.

The Group has many plans and Ideas for the music we are going to make. We have many goals to succeed and be honest and open with each other and always stand by each others side thru thick and thin because we know music has its ups and downs.

We would like to also thank you all for the support and love you have shown us up to this point and a big thank you to Pharaoh YT and the IDDP family for giving us this Opportunity to work with them and their Label

PHAROAH YT

Born and raised in the jungles of the Twomps, where hustlers be getting they hustle on 24/7 dusk to dawn. Comes one of the games hottest MCs ,DJs Pharoah YT aka DJ PHAROAH YT

Whether it be Writing, Producing, Beat making or performing live on stage in front of his fans.

Pharoah YT (I DID DAT) is in it to win it.

Well, I guess than you could say that I resurrected like all the other Pharaohs before me. Of course, that is with one exception. I WAS BORN BLIND. It was not until 25 or so surgeries later and about 5 birthdays, that I was blessed with the opportunity of some vision.

I can remember in school taking all those classes made for the blind. I hated those classes half of the time all of my life I was the blind kid with the coke bottle glasses. As a mater of fact, I still have a pair of those 3xfocol glasses put up. Call it a moment if you would.

Anyways, I ran with the glasses thing as long as I could because I knew that there was a great chance that I would loose my site once again. I did too but this would not happen until 2003 for what its worth to, being visually impaired or blind does not make you weak or even less of a person. In fact, this whole experience has made me a better person in many different ways, and in some cases stronger. I WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING

Now, I guess that you could say that my life in music begin in elementary school. Franklin Elementary School, (Oakland CA) But, my love for the music began in the late 70s early 80s. My mother would do allot of stage production. They called it DOO WOP. I would mimic what she and all the others actors and singers would do. I felt like a star. The music and all the vocals with all the different sounds had me in a trance. It is as if I became one with the music.

From then I went all through my childhood participating in music. From performing with Ms Thomas and her Choir of God (Bret Heart Junior High School Oakland CA) to The Magical Choir (Castro Valley High School Castro Valley CA). It’s always been about the love music.

I had this one cat I came into the game with Breeze. We would spend hour’s free styling over other people’s tracks. I eventually signed to his label Smoked Out Records as a member of the 798 clicks, along with C Notorious STL and Breeze. We did a few radio appearances for KPOO RADIO WILD 94.9 and 106.1 KMEL and also a few shows here ad there. We also managed to release a few projects. The first was Major Grip. This was just a demo that Breeze and I had out just as a feeler. It got good response from the public, so we put it on sale locally. The second project was done right after but due to some setbacks the record company was having, 798 were disbanded. Smoked Out Records released the album in 2000.

Now that 798 was no more. I made up my mind to open my own record label. An Indie record label built by the people for the people I figured if Breeze could do it, why couldn't I SO with that I DID DAT PRODUCTIIONS was born. Bringing in such artists as Pharoah YT, C Notorious, R Double and J Funk, collectively known as TOMB WORLD ORDER. With there first maxi single release T.W.O dropping Sept 2005. Soon to follow this project will be my solo album release MEDICATED Oct 2005 and a whole list of mix tapes and compilations to follow. Working with and or producing tracks for such artists as Ray Luv, B Legit, ULM, Epademik emcee esq., Dread Daze, Krome Infinite Ammo, J Switch and others. I’ve also done interviews on www.klbc.org OPEN MIC SHOW I figure as long as I have this blessing, why not use it to the best of my ability.

Now to educate myself on running an indie record label. My folks Big O gave me the basic run down on how to worked studio gear and mixing track and such. As a matter of fact I recorded T.W.O at his studio ULM STUDIOS HAYWARD CA so with that I opened my own record studio MURDER MOBB STUDIOS. And that’s just the beginning of my music career


Working with Pharoah YT is like working with MAGIC!! YT knows what's up!! Plain and simple... I enjoy working with his craft, and his artists who he carefully picks for IDDP. I work with a lot of professionals in this business or field world wide and when it comes to perfection and true professionalism, YT is your man. He told me, we'll be together until the wheels come off.... I only hope he means his car, don't ask me about mine!! Yeah, that would've meant we ended years ago!!! Pharoah YT is true blue PRO and I so enjoy everything he brings for me to master, because it's top notch to begin with. YT is the MAN in my humble opinion!

R .Double

R .Double/. A.K.A/ Mr. Lavish, A.K.A/ R .Double the Dutch. “

Music has been my passion for many years. I began spitting flows at the age of 15. I was mostly inspired by Tupac coming up as a kid. I wrote my first verse when I was16. The pain and the struggle, is my strongest point in song writing, it’s all I know, the under privileged stories of a street kid. This is my life not a myth. I create meaningful stories, about the life of a thug name R .DOUBLE.

Ok, as for my name, R .DOUBLE means ROO, witch is my nick name. Mr. lavish represents my stunna side, and, R .DOUBLE The Dutch, is the beastly side of me, the side that might leave yo ass stankin. I like to write song about hood relationships between gangstas and there gangsta bitches. My view of good women and bad. I love a good love story, cant leave the ladies out, But over all, its nothing for me to lace the world about the life of a ghetto product, raw and uncut, the business!

I was raised by crack heads ,and crack dealers ,so the drug life is my back round. Through 1999 to 2008 I been in and out of prison for dope and guns. This has been the setback for R .DOUBLE and my rap career. But now is the time were I give my life to this music, you feel me ,keep an eye out for me to be one of the next great, greats, eating off of gold plates.

I’ve featured on various projects, Under Surveillance, VERBLE ASAULT, ( Money over Bitches,). ZOE DA ROASTA/ comp.(I’m feeling it). Previous songs wrote by R .DOUBLE such as, Do Tha Dam Thang, Make It Good For Us, Go Crazy, I Know You Love Me, Dream Big, and Save The Child.

My music comes from the heart, no matter what level I’m on with the song, I still put my heart and soul into every lyric. I like to call myself, The unknown Dope, cause there’s not many that know of me, but my style and swagger is of a star. I believe that I’m more a part of hip hop than gangster rap even though the street part of me is the truest me. you can get, because any other part of me is acting. All I know is street life ,

People that inspired me, just to name a few/of course

TUPAC, NAS, OUTCAST, JADAKISS, DMX, MAC DRE, JARULE, JAY:Z, SCARFACE, LIL WAYNE, CASSIDY/ and many more. I’m a realest, and a logical thinker. You cant slick a slickster. I love my kids, friends, and family dearly, I will ride till I die for each and every one of them believe that daddy! For all the ladies, I like to act a ass, but I’m better at pleasing.

“DREAM BIG”

NEVER STOP THUGGIN BITCH,CAUSE I DON’T WANA, I CAME FROM THE DIRT,I WAS RAISED ON THE CORNER!!!!!!!

School Of Lost Souls

Well we both started rapping amongst our friends at an early age. Lil Evil growing up in Salinas and Sacramento, California had a group called PBK that he formed with close family and friends in the city of Salinas, CA where he was born. They released PBK "Straight Laced" in 2001. Shortly after they released an album called the "B.asic I.nstructions B.efore L.eaving E.arth" Vol.1 which gained them a great deal of exposure. They were placed on the ON Fire Tour which was headlined by Too Short & Playa JT from N2DEEP to name a few. But due most of the founding members not being able to leave the streets they all ran into problems that had them in and out of court and the penal system all their young lives. So once Lil Evil got in a stable position he linked back with his cousin Acoldamac & Big Spank and began to patent the next affiliates from out of the PBK camp to take the industry by storm. School Of Lost Souls with Acoldamac's straight forward no holds barred style and Lil Evil's rapid fire style mixed street reality makes for one of the best duos to grace the since Outkast or EPMD!!

Mark my words you haven't seen nothing yet!!!!!!!!!

TOMB WORLD ORDER.

From off the streets of Cali comes one of East Oakland’s finest. Pharoah YT, C Notorious, J Funk and R Double make up TOMB WORLD ORDER.

Since the beginning of there careers TOMB WORD ORDER have had the privilege of working with Bay Area talents such as Breeze, Ray Luv, B Legit, Dap Daniels, ULM and others. We pride ourselves in bringing you nothing but THE BEST MUSIC THAT THE GAME HAS TO OFFER. In the beginning TOMB WORLD ORDER"S founding members first started creating music in 1995 with a group called the 798 click. Which consisted of, Breeze, Pharoah YT, J funk Notorious and STL.

For the next 2 years the group made excellent progress within the industries demo's and doing live performances of over 2500+ with Bay Area radio stations such as 106.1 KMEL, WILD 94.9 and 102.5 KWIN.

As it turns out the group went its separate ways due to creative differences, at that point the OREDER was established in 1997 by founding members Pharoah YT - J funk - and C Notorious and later adding R Double to the group. And since then the ORDER has out done It's previous history by climbing higher in the music industries dropping multiple hot albums such as T.W.O. - Medicated - The Murderlation as well as many other mix tapes and compilations.

In conclusion, the one thing you can expect from the ORDER is realism, slap, longevity, and 110% dedication to making some of the best music in the industry for the people by the people!!

XL

XL, Bay Area Born and Bred, is an upcoming artist that can truly be described as unique. With influences from all kinds of music, XL is dedicated to bring something new. "I've never been a fan of one thing. I've always figured if someone made it, and then there is some kind of meaning and message behind it. All Music is good music. All music is expression of the soul. You will never hear me say anything I never meant to say or write. It all has truth behind it, and it’s all pulled directly from my heart. Every word i spit or sing has always been with emotion, and will always be apart of me."

Yung D

They call me Yung D, My real name is Devante Forrest. I was born in San Francisco Ca. on March 3, 1992. I was raised in Oakland Ca. Before I get ahead of myself I wanna tell you a little bit about me. For starters my mother is a single parent and did not know my father until I was 2 years old. I guess after a while he could not deny me caused I looked too much like him from what I was told.

I come from a family of thieves and drug dealers, well at least on my dad side of the family. My moms side of the families different a bunch of hard workers, but they still struggle. Now this brings me to my next subject.

Music! I love music; I feel it’s my key to life. Why live if I don’t have it. My very first favorite song was Naughty by Nature’s Hip Hop Hurray. But we all knew that wouldn’t be long. The odds of a black male becoming something in life is slim. So I work hard every second, minute, and hour when I’m behind the Mic.

I first started rapping when I was in the 7th grade. I was terrible but I knew Practice would help. So I practiced and I never stopped trying. I was into it so much I barley did my homework. After a while around my 10th grade year of high school my brother and I (Knowmadik) started rapping with each other hethen had introduced me to his cousin that was rapping at the time (Gus). We have our own little thing we call Lamp Lyfe. The key yo that is to have your own thing and to be you.

That’s what I do I’m me and nothing can change me. I’m quiet because I am either thinking or I have a beat in my head that I can’t get out. As of today I am 18 years old

Looking for a break. I’m tired of seeing my mother struggle and I gotta get out, I wanna live lavish and be happy.

I have a dream to be a music icon. When I step up to the Mic I zone out. This is the only place I can be me, the only way to express myself, and say what I feel. I have seen too much in my life from my dad being shot to my grandma doing drugs. So I refuse to stop until I make it. If I can choose my death it would be doing what I love most and that’s music.
