He discovered his urge to make music while freestyling in the back of car to the Hot Boys’ Guerilla Warfare. The group “Y.B.G” was formed with longtime friends Birch Boy Barie amd Murda Boy D. Since then he has been recording, battling, producing and performing whenever possible. Catapulted by the popularity of a rap beef, he went on to make a solo mixtape which established him as a Bay Area native to pay attention too. Mixing lyricism with the East Oakland swagger and adding some bass, his style was born. “Bwaaaaaaa” is a phrase often heard when mentioning Ghost’s name. Since the start of his career, he had been a part many songs, instrumentals, performances, collaborations, contests, and is in completion of his 2nd underground mixtape. 15 Ghost is an English Melodic/Progressive Rock band. They released the excellent cd “The Other Side” in 1995. I’m not sure if the band still exists (Doubt it!).| |Cd Tracks: |1. Can’t Stop |2. Brand New Start |3. Country Boy |4. Ten Years |5.
