Versatile is an upcoming hip hop artist hailing from Elizabethtown (foultown), NC. He comes from humble beginnings and expresses his thoughts, feelings, and struggles through his music. Versatile's love for music began after his older brother "Realist" was sent to federal prison in 2007. Versatile looked up to his older brother and the passion he had for making music about the struggle in the streets. Ever since Realist has been locked up, Versatile has kept the label 242productions which Realist started, going strong and relevant in the local area. Versatile wrote flows off and on from 2007 til about 2010 when he decided to put more effort in it and drop a mixtape. Versatile linked up with another local artist named Cadillac D. They collab on a track called "Gotta Make It Out" in 2011 and was offered to become a member of the Family/First M.T.G Productions movement. Versatile dropped his debut mixtape "Versatility 1.5" on 11/6/11 and is currently working on his second project entitled "Inspiration and Wisdom" which is due to be release spring/summer 2012.

WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY? JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN

I FELT THAT THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH THOSE WHO VISITS MY BLOGSITE & THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED, AS STATED IN CHANGE.ORG:

                                                                                                                                                                                              Why This Is Important?

On February 26, our son Trayvon Martin was shot and killed as he walked to a family member's home from a convenience store where he had just bought some candy. He was only 17 years-old.
Trayvon's killer, George Zimmerman, admitted to police that he shot Trayvon in the chest. Zimmerman, the community's self appointed "neighborhood watch leader," called the police to report a suspicious person when he saw Travyon, a young black man, walking from the store. But Zimmerman still hasn't been charged for murdering our son.
Trayvon was our hero. At the age 9, Trayvon pulled his father from a burning kitchen, saving his life. He loved sports and horseback riding. At only 17 he had a bright future ahead of him with dreams of attending college and becoming an aviation mechanic. Now that’s all gone.
When Zimmerman reported Trayvon to the police, they told him not to confront him. But he did anyway. All we know about what happened next is that our 17 year-old son, who was completely unarmed, was shot and killed.
It's been nearly two weeks and the Sanford Police have refused to arrest George Zimmerman. In their public statements, they even go so far as to stand up for the killer - saying he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice.
Please join us in calling on Norman Wolfinger, Florida's 18th District State's Attorney, to investigate my son's murder and prosecute George Zimmerman for the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin.

SUPER EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: MAC DUDDY$OUTH: "MR. GRIND & SHINE"

Sometimes, you have to take the initiative...so i bring you, YOURS TRULY & IT'S GOING DOWN!!!

*BIRTHPLACE: Southwest Atlanta, Georgia...raised in College Park, Ga. Spent a little time in Memphis, Tenn. Moved to Riverdale, Ga. in 1991...been residing there eversince.

*WHEN DID YOU GET INTO MUSIC?
"I've basically been round music all my life. From when my dad played his records, cassettes, whatever, it's been & played a part of my life, real talk. It saved my life too...if it wasn't for music, i'd been dead...seriously"

*WHO INFLUENCES YOU & YOUR MUSIC?
"Too many to name but, i'm glad to say that i've been lucky enough to have been around when the best era of music was made...it was the 90's...it was all real then...unlike the superficial talk of nowadays. Oldies (it has soul), 2Pac, Biggie, Geto Boys, Spice 1, Too $hort, Playa Fly, Skinny Pimp, 3-6 Mafia, Project Pat, 8Ball & MJG, OutKast, Goddie Mob, Organized Noise, lots of memphis underground artists (man, too many to name, lol)!"

*WHEN DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN MUSIC YOURSELF?

"I've started in 1994...had a friend i was rapping, writing raps with anyways but when you're in high school, you try to somewhat, find your own identity...i've known my own identity...just needed to find my niche. Put the pen & pad down, started freestyling from that point on, in the cafeteria, battled at school, when i did show up for school, lol!! I won't act like i've had clean hands, used to run with a gang but, the music was always there so you know what path i've chose, lol. Along the way though, in 2000, i've upgraded & started producing my own beats then, still wasn't satisfied...i wanted to own a brand..my own brand. 2005, i've created my own music production label, "Kold Kut$um Productionz, LLC.", also, dropped my very first solo underground album that i've recorded half of it in Memphis. Been on the road to a  few spots in 2007...and those days will come again soon."

*WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE?
"Now that i'm grinding hard to cement the Kold Kut$um brand, i've clicked up with a homie of mine, Cadillac D. & his M.T.G Productions label & formed an alliance "Meal Ticket Gang". I've dropped a total of 10 undergrounds with one more on the way so, i'm looking for this to be the point that things take off...2012!! AND I AM THE FOUNDER, OWNER, EDITOR & PUBLISHER OF THIS WONDERFUL BLOGSITE/E-MAG "THE GRIND & SHINE HIP HOP E-MAG"...LOOKOUT FOR THE STRONGEST INDIE BRANDS...KOLD KUT$UM. M.T.G & "THE GRIND & SHINE"...hope this sheds a little light on about you're boy...and know that i am a go-getter, hustler & just may possibly, a blessing in disguise...real talk, lol...100 & i'm gone!!-MAC DUDDY$OUTH
