Biography:
Born the sixth of eleven children in Harlem NYC, F The Elemental is well
acquainted with struggle and sacrifice. Growing up in the projects he saw violent acts
committed right outside his window as if they were scenes from action movies. He
always wondered what was wrong with society and its treatment of Black Americans.
Through the struggles of the ghetto and loosing many of his peers to the drug epidemic,
he made a conscious choice to do things differently. He began to study the psychological
effects of slavery and its impact on the victims as well as the perpetrators.
With the help of mentors he began to plan his life and put goals to paper with the
hope of impacting the world positively. He immersed himself in the Hip Hop culture
starting with dancing, moving to graphic arts finding his love; MC’ing. He took all of his
questions and research and put them into rhyme form with the intention of spreading
intelligence to the masses.
While in the process of creating music, he found that he was going against the
grain of the music industry and faced intense opposition. Music executives explained that
they did not want his message to come out because it threatened their agenda. Many of
the commercial rappers he has worked with expressed support for his music but they
were afraid to be linked to his cause.
This experience pushed F The Elemental into activism and community
engagement. “One of the many things we lost as a people is our sense of community”. He
uses his knowledge of Hip Hop culture to inspire young people to make better choices in
life with the main goal of avoiding the many pitfalls presented within the culture. “We
must be fully awake to take advantage of the opportunities hidden within the chaos”.
F The Elemental currently promotes The Freedom Concert, Get Involved
workshops, Juneteenth, Jail Ain’t No Good, Occupy The Corner and various community
activities in Harlem. He is also a computer programmer/ IT specialist/Network
Administrator, entrepreneur, scoutmaster and mentor and adjunct college professor
providing hacking classes to his students. He firmly believes that we must give back to
the youth. “We secure our future by helping young people succeed”. Just recently he
founded a 501c3 not for profit called Far Beyond Success, Inc, where he addresses the
issues caused by slavery and implements solutions through acting, dancing, music and
technology.
