biographical info

Rapping with deliberate eloquence over the beats he bangs out on his MPC 60, AT may take a quick break from rapping and might add some flavour cuts and phrases before launching into his next verse. Earlier this year Anonymous Twist was featured in a station ID for MuchVibe that showcased his DJ and MC skills simultaneously. But it was just a sneak preview of what his stage performance would entail. This past summer hosted his debut performances at Style in Progress and The 416 Graffiti Expo in Toronto. In both celebrations of Hip Hop and its various artforms, Anonymous Twist left audiences in awe as he rapped over his own beats that he backspinned, scratched and juggled. While many rappers may resort to bragging about how much narcotic weight they sell, 'Twist reluctantly admits that he's a licensed full-time pharmacist. Yet this is the very testament to the self reliant, independent ethos that he set out to embody when he decided to be his own MC, DJ and producer. For him too, the drug game will help finance his own record label.

Watch 'Twist juggle a beat and rap at the same time, kinda like Caz or J-Live but a bit better...
