[edit] Early Years/Influences

FurSun started rapping in 1995, and began producing in 2000, after being inspired by various "Bad Boy Records" artists, and focusing on the production by "Timbaland". He also became highly influenced by "Jay-Z" when the Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life album was dropped in 1998. That is when "Jay-Z" became the "GOAT" (greatest of all time) according to FurSun. Today FurSun still feels that way which is why he likes to sometimes call himself "The Younger Young H.O.V."

[edit] Groups

Late 2002 FurSun and three of his friends formed a rap group called "Tsavo" (FurSun, Post-Man, Pyro) which did not work out after the group fell apart. Due to lack of recording, promotion, and communication, the chemistry in the group suddenly faded. This lead FurSun to see himself as a solo artist. "Since I left the group, I have gotten so much more done. They were holding me back from my dream.", says FurSun.
