With Hip-Hop once a platform for creative expression and friendly competition has sadly become a popularity contest. With record sales down and ringtone dollars up, rookies searching for that "one big hit" seem solely concerned with being deemed "cool." Lyrics have side-stepped, giving way to dance-instructing "rappers" more concerned with sparking the new "Macarena" than being hailed as an MC. On the outside looking in at such followers is Sir-Da-Fide. Rather than conform to music industry standards, Sir-Da-Fide (born Gregory Mon'tell Johnson) is blazing his own trail to success. Processing his own struggles into his word play and a typical range more akin to the underground than the mainstream, the 23 year-old lyricist has proven that talent can still make waves in the rap game. Born and raise in the steady, confrontational Oak Cliff streets of Dallas, Texas. Sir-Da-Fide grew up lived the regular urban survivor. What was'ent commom,however,was the means by which he carried himself. With his do it my way attitude. Influenced by the G.O.A.T rappers to every live 2Pac,Biggie, Jay-Z, Ron DMC and a slew of other great rappers. Sir-Da-Fide gradually grew leery of such negative message, gravitating towards the dazzling lyricism of the likes of Nas And Jay-z. In Hip-Hop's popularity contest, Sir-Da-Fide is the observer, a thinking man brave enough to dictate the acute thoughts that his peers ignore. -Now,that is cool- Sir-Da-Fide Grind4Real Ent.//Greedy Boy Rec.
