MACHETTE The Cleaner AGE: 33
PLACE OF ORIGIN: QUEENS, NEW YORK OCCUPATION: HIP-HOP ARTIST, CEO, HERO
HISTORY: Machette was raised in the South Jamaica Queens zone in NY. He lived the average life of a Queens kid till he turned 15. It is said that this is when he realized something was wrong ....with everything! It was that feeling tt "something wasn't right" that compelled him to search for the truth. It was this period in his life that he realized who he was and what his purpose on earth was. Machette's logic was "whatever is going on is not natural, so that means someone is doing this". That realizaton plus his love for hip hop gave birth to the voice we now hear coming through tohusands of speakers around the globe. His childhood took place in the 80's so He feels that he and Hip Hop "grew up together" but he was a listener, a fan at first. Until one da He said to himself " heyyyy, I can write something better than that!" And he's been "writing something better than that ever since"!. It was around this time in his life also that he and his best friend known as Q, decided that the only difference between them and the heroes in comic books was MONEY! So they started a group they called the Assassinz Guild. They chose to use numbers as names so MACHETTE chose to be #2 and Q took on the #1. Then, It was over....MACHETTE HAD A CREW NOW! From that pont he went from school yard to school yard, lunch tables to staircases to stages you name it, he went on a battle rampage. This is one of the more interesting FACTS about MACHETTE, to this day he hasn't lost a battle yet! He told us he could offer $1000 to the person that saw him lose a battle and the money wouldn't move!
But then around the age of 26, he moved to Raleigh North Carolina where he met a man named JOHN J. MITCHELL III. One day riding around in the truck MACHETTE decides to throw in a tape (yes, cassette tape) of an album he was working on. Of course it was gritty and on a tape the sound quality was to laugh at but John noticed that this brother had some damn skills! In the blink of an eye, John became MACHETTE's manager and during a Saturday lunch MACHETTE was doodling on a napkin and it came to him... "Assassin Records!". He said it again to himself "Asaassin Records!". John heard him and said "you wanna do it?", MACHETTE replied "i don't give a f**k, I'm not scared! let's do it!". Then months later they were in and out of studios working on MACHETTE's first Album ever which he called "STRATEGO", based on a war board game.
Assassin recordz flopped due to multiple reasons, then he turned to the streetz "hardbody" as some would say. He sold everything but furniture and the idea hit him to just cut out ALL of the middle men in the industry and just go outside and sell cds!
That was the birth of his pride and joy project ""BLACKMARKET MUZIC". The concept is that an artist always has and always will have the right to sell something he creates without any interference. MUSIC BEING NO EXCEPTION!
So now MACHETTE is leading a revolution where the Artists regain control of the arts! NOW HE'S ON THE AIR, IT'S CALLED WCUT RADIO.... BEWARE!
