BIO : AKA... DA COOKIEMONSTA!!!!!

I WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 6TH 1982. MY BIRTH PLACE IS, MIAMI, FLORIDA. I LIVED THERE FOR A YEAR OR SO, THEN MOVED TO BOSSIER CITY, SHREVEPORT, LA. I GROW UP WITH ONE BROTHER AND AS A CHILD MY MOTHER RAISED US BY HERSELF. MY FATHER LEFT WHEN I WAS FIVE. MY MOTHER SERVED AND STILL SERVES IN THE MILITARY TO PROVIDE FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER AND MYSELF. ALSO AS A CHILD I KNEW I HAD THE PASSION FOR MUSIC. MY MOTHER SAYS I USED TO SING ALL THE TIME IN THE TUB OR SHOWER. “EVERYNIGHT AND DAY I USED TO GET ON HER NERVES”, SHE SAYS. I WROTE MY FIRST RAP OR POEM IN THE FOURTH GRADE, AND EVER SINCE THEN ‘IVE WRITTEN SONGS AND A LOT OF MUSIC IN MY TIME. I WAS THE BEST CHILD IN THE WORLD AND I KNOW I STAYED IN TROUBLE ON A DAILY BASIS, DEALING WITH FIGHTING, DRUGS, BAD NEIGHBORHOODS, CRIME AND ETC. FACING THOSE ISSUES IN MY LIFE SOMETHING HAD TO GIVE. I HAD TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE OR I MIGHT HAVE ENDED UP DEAD OR IN JAIL. AT AGE 17 I MOVED TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND HAD MY FIRST CHILD. LIVING THERE WAS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE FOR ME AT THE TIME DUE TO COMING FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE WHO DID THINGS A LOT DIFFERENTLY. I HAD PROBLEMS THERE ALSO BUT WHILE LIVING IN S.C I DISCOVERED MY TRUE TALENT IN HIGH SCHOOL. EVERYDAY MY FRIENDS AND I USED TO BEAT ON THE SCHOOL WINDOWS DURING LUNCHTIME, MAKING BEATS TO RAP TO. EVERYONE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TRY DOING MUSIC FOR A LIVING, BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS GOOD AND I WAS. IN THE YEAR 2000 I MOVED TO VIRGINIA WITH MY GRANDMA AND THERE IS WHERE MY MUSIC CAREER REALLY STARTED. I MET A FEW PEOPLE THAT HEARD ME FREESTYLE AT A BARBER SHOP, AND LINKED ME TO A WELL-KNOWN PRODUCER. HAVI NG THAT CONNECTION WITH THE INDUSTRY, I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE ACCESS TO MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES.THE NAME “YESSUR” CAME FROM MY IDEA OF AUTHORITY, OR MAKING A STATEMENT. WHEN U HEAR THE NAME “ YESSUR” PEOPLE THINK OF RESPECT AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT THEM TO DO , IS RESPECT MY CREATIVITY AND LYRICAL VERSITILITY. I HAVE THE TENDENCY TO HEAR A BEAT AND THE BEAT CAN TELL ME WHAT TO SAY ON THE MICROPHONE. JUST BEING IN THE STUDIO AND ON STAGE IN FRONT SO MANY PEOPLE SCREAMING AND HOLLARING BECAUSE OF ME. THAT WAS AND ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS ANY MAN CAN HAVE. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CALLED THEMSELVES YOUR FAN, AND IS THERE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME JUST TO HEAR ME PERFORM. WOW!!!I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS EVENTS AND SHOW PERFORMANCES. MY CAREER WAS GOING REAL WELL AND THEN MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WAS BORN WHICH FORCED ME TO STOP DOING WHAT I LOVED TO DO, AND TAKE CARE OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES AS A FATHER. DUE TO THE ECONOMY I DECIDED TO GO INTO THE MILITARY TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY. AFTER JOINING, THE MILITARY I ENDED UP MOVING TO FT. HOOD TX. I FINISHED MY TERM AND NOW WANT TO FOCUS ON MY PASSION FOR MUSIC. 
MY INSPIRATIONS TOWARDS MUSIC HAS BEEN MY MOTHER, MY TWO CHILDREN, HAVING A DECENT LIFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING I MADE A LIVING DOING WHAT I LOVE TO DO.MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE: RUN DMC... WHY? I GREW UP LISTENING TO RUN DMC, AND I TRULLY BELIEVE HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF HIP-HOP BACK WHEN RAP STARTED. SLICK RICK HAS ALSO BEEN A INSPIRATIONTO ME, BECAUSE HE WAS A STORY TELLER AND BEING A STORY TELLER, HE CAN TELL A STORY WITHIN HIS LYRICS. HE MADE PEOPLE LISTEN AND VISUALIZE HIS LIFE WHEN HE SPOKE.TUPAC WAS AS BIG INSPIRATION IN MY LIFE. HONESTLT I THINK HE IS THE RESON FOR ME WRITING THE SONGS I WRITE TODAY. HE LED A MOVEMENT WITH HIS MUSIC. HE ALWAYS HAD A LESSON TO BE LEARNED WITHIN HIS LYRICS BY SENDING SUB- BLIMINAL MESSAGES. HE ALSO WAS A ROLE MODEL TO THE CHILDREN AND OTHERS, WHEN HE PUSHED AWAY FROM GANGSTER RAP.MY GOALS IN LIFE ARE: TOP PRIORITY IS TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.MAKE IT TO THE TOP OF THE CHARTS EVERYWHERE IN THE NATION WORK HARD AS AN ARTIST TO REACH ALL GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. SECURE HEALTH AND WEALTH FOR FAMILY AND PUT MY CHILDREN THROUGH COLLEGE. I EXPECT TO SPEAK MY LIFE WITHIN MY MUSIC TO EVERYONE WHO LISTENS. WHEN I LISTEN THE RADIO NOW AND DAYS AND I COME TO REALIZE THAT THESE ARTIST TODAY HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT HIP-HOP AND REAL MUSIC REALLY IS. I EXPECT TO BRING THAT FEELING, HOPE AND PASSION BACK TO THE EARS OF THE PUBLIC. MUSIC IS MY LIFE AND MY LIFE IS IN MY MUSIC. IM "YESSUR" DA COOKIEMONSTA, AND IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE OF THESE RAPPERS AM I GOING TO EAT TODAY... YUM! YUM! YUM! TASTY!!!!! IM EATING RAPPERS UP YA DIG...WATER
