THE HOUSTON YEARS (1985-1998)

With hip-hop in his blood freestyle experience stirred thick in his back-back, Omar Jarel Gilyard (Gwizzo AKA Phish Bone at the time) made the transformation into a professional rapper upon linking up with former manager in Houston Texas circa 1989 where he took his skills to the streets, quickly landing gigs with hip hop & R&B's notables HI FIVE, YZ, SPECIAL ED, and eventually forming and producing "THE SLUM KIDS" aka "RHYTMIC CREW" in 1994 (the group also included AAHTUE, ALLEY KAT, EGG HEAD, JAWWAAD and NAHUMA. Only three of them make guest appearances on 3PP) . Rocking shows and free-styling with THE PHARCYDE, PRODIGY OF MOBB DEEP, THE GETO BOYS, etc. Life in H-Town's underground hip hop scene was fresh and fierce, but being a big fish in a small town at the time led him to seek out bigger seas.
