Editor's review
Helped by a group of Bay Area A-listers (most notably E-40), the MC has developed a particularly smooth and full-bodied sort of hyphy. The trademark tight beat gets a major tricking out with synths and effects, then is topped by vocals that are part nightclub croon, part fiery storytelling.
Biography
Hip-Hop Artist, Producer, and Songwriter. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Furious' passion for Hip-Hop music began early on in his career as a disk jockey. Although recognized as a skilled and talented mixer, he always envisioned himself to become an artist whose vinyl will be spun by DJ's all throughout the world.
With that determination, Furious launched his career as a Hip-Hop Artist, Producer, and Songwriter in 1993 with the release of his first album "If I Can't Have None." This album, which contained raw beats and lyrics, became the stepping stone for the local Bay Area talent to establish himself as a lyrical and dynamic MC in the hip-hop music industry.
