Stranga The Great Bio-
IT ALL STARTED OUT IN HARLEM, NEW YORK CIRCA MID 80'S. YOUNG STRANGA
SAW HIS PARENT'S INFLUENCE ON LENNOX AVE. EARLY AS A CHILD. BEING
AROUND EARLY RAP LEGENDS LIKE CURTIS BLOW AND LUV BUG STARSKY AND
STREET HUSTLERS FROM ALL OVER NEW YORK HE WAS DRAWN INTO THE ART OF
THE STREETS THEMSELVES. BEING YOUNG HE WAS DRAWN INTO THE DANCE ASPECT
OF HIP HOP AND STARTED BREAK DANCING AND BEAT BOXING. ALL THIS BY AGE
6 HE WAS ALREADY DESTINED TO BE A FORCE IN HIP HOP. AFTER LEAVING
HARLEM HE STARTED RAPPING ON THE BUS TO IMPRESS THE OLDER KIDS AND THE
GIRLS BY MAKING UP PERVETED LINES WHICH MANY HADN'T BEGUN TO
EXPERIENCE AT THAT TIME. IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WAS AHEAD OF HIMSELF. WITH
STRONG INFLUENCES BY SCIENCE AND RELIGION STRANGA LATER TURNED INTO AN
ANIMAL, WITH SONGS THAT DISPLAYED PURE FEROCITY AND UTTER BRILLIANCE
WITH HIS WORDPLAY. HE WENT ON TO DESTROY LOCAL TALENT SHOWS AND MC
BATTLES WITH EASE. WITH A WITTY YET ASSURED WAY OF STORY TELLING AND
LYRICAL CREATIVITY HE SET HIMSELF APART IN A DIM POOL OF LACK LUSTER
LOCAL TALENT. HE'S WORKED WITH AND PRODUCED NUMBER'S OF ARTIST'S
INCLUDING GLOCK STYLES, CRUNCH MOB ENTERTAINMENT, MILLENNIUM MUSIC
GROUP, PRIEST THE DESERT NOMAD, PXR RECORDS, VENDETTA KINGS, 910
MILLITIA, BIG CAS, LONGEVITY RECORDS AND DJ STRESS JUST TO NAME A FEW.
STILL SHORT OF MAKING THAT BIG BREAK ARTIST'S DREAM OF STRANGA STILL
STAYS TRUE TO HIS PROMISE WHICH WAS NOT TO ABANDON HIP HOP. IN 2001
STRANGA HAD 2 TRACKS ON A NATIONAL RELEASE CALLED "HOSTILE TAKEOVER"
WITH M.M.G. HE'S BEEN FEATURED ON FOXY 99.1 ALONG SIDE LOUD MOUF
RECORDS ARTIST BIG CAS AND ROLAND WEIGHT. WITH SONGS BEING PLAYED IN
NORTH CAROLINA AND DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT MARKETS, HE STILL
MAINTAINS HIS HIP HOP SPIRIT. KNOWN FOR HIS BATTLE LINES WITH AN
IMPRESSIVE RECORD OF 65 WINS AND ONLY 5 PUBLIC LOSSES, HE IS MOST
CERTAIN A BEAST WITH THE FLOW. IN 2005 STRANGA AND OTHER CRUNCH MOB
PRODUCERS HAD SEVERAL TRACKS FEATURED ON MTV'S PIMP MY RIDE. STILL
JUST A LOCAL ARTIST STRANGA FELL BACK AFTER CREATING 2005'S GOD'S
JUDGMENT. WITH SONGS LIKE "GOD'S ILLEST" AND "I FEEL LIKE" CLIMBING
SOUNDCLICK CHARTS, HE STILL HAD THAT STRENGTH THAT HE WAS KNOWN FOR.
BUT BEING AWAY FROM THE SCENE FOR 2 YEARS FOCUSING MORE ON PRODUCTION
STRANGA IS READY TO GO BACK AT IT AGAIN. HE COMPLETED A LYRICAL AND
STREET LADEN CD TITLED "SEVENTH" IN 2008. HE LOOKS FOCUSED TO MAKE AN
IMPACT IN A TIME WHERE HIP HOP IS FLOODED WITH ASSEMBLY LINE ARTIST'S
WITH LIMITED LYRICAL SKILLS AND WACK PRODUCTION, HE SHOULD DEFINTELY
BE A WELCOMED PIECE IN A PUZZLE THAT HIP HOP SEEMS TO BE LONGING FOR.
STRANGA IS CURRENTLY SET TO RELEASE A MORE MAINSTREAM RECORD TITLED
"I'M NOT HIM" AS WELL AS A TRADITIONAL UNDERGROUND CLASSIC CALLED
"FORBIDDEN LANGUAGE". WE BELIEVE THIS GUY CAN BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN
THE UNDERGROUND AND THE COMMERCIAL WORLD.
