Name: StaminaAge: 20
Info: Stamina started experimenting in the art of rhyme in the age of 14, when he first entered high school. Cyphering on neighborhood corners and freestyling with friends on the school bus on the way to his high school in South Jersey developed Stamina into a viscious battle rapper with lyrics that reflected his intellect and seemingly natural ability with wordplay. In the Summer of 1999, Stamina, fifteen at the time, linked up with his eighteen year old cousin from across the country who went by the alias Normiin Beights, and began recording songs on a double deck Sony Boom-Box with the "built-in mic" on cassette tapes.
The Duo, who called themselves "the Dynamic Duo" made a few local tapes, "One Family," which was a joint project with his cousin and he featured on his cousin's street album "The Diary of Slim." Stamina gained great influence from Normiin Beights, who led him to hone his ability in song writing, not just the hardcore battle rap he was used to..When Normiin passed away, two months before Stamina's sixteenth birthday at the age of nineteen, Stamina, who went by the name Artificial Intelligence until 2001, began taking rap more seriously, he became the most vicious competitor in local weekly battles in malls in the area, as well as in his city. Also, he achieved great acclaim on the internet as one of the top battlers. Throughout this time he worked to combine his battle lyrics with the song making method his cousin taught him..Once he entered college he began working on his first solo album, BlaKLiSTeD, which was released in April 2003 and named after a longtime internet crew and his alias in many internet tournaments. During the summer of 2003 after a few attempts to link up with independent labels, Stamina began working with Logrithmic and is in the process of releasing his best work to date, on his up and coming album "The Jersey Devil."
Stamina's influences include Rakim (the man who made rap styles what they are today), LL Cool J, Canibus, Chino XL, Big Punisher, Supernatural, J.U.I.C.E., NaS & Camp Lo.

"I invent indivisible invisible invincible syllables, wit physical prints of principle pencil-fuls; scribbling Einsteinian mind that writes dope, Stam'll put ya life on the line like a tightrope."
