" I meet LL in the neighborhood we both grew up in, it had to be around 1982 or 1983. We both were around 13 or 14 years old. We met on the block he grew up on. I had friends on his block that I played street football with and sometimes he played football with us.”
” He was very sure of himself and cocky, confident!” Geechie Dan This interview was a mini interview of my questions for Gheechie Dan, on his rap battle with LL Cool J. 13 years old, from the same neighborhood, had mutual friends and played street ball together. Such a great story, and great to see them together all these years later, after so much success. When he mentioned in his bio about the rap battle and loosing, I thought it was a great story idea, and my interview questions would be included in the article. I’m doing a series of articles on Geechie Dan, that all include interviews on various topics. All the content may end up being published as one big article, or each article will be individually published. Once a hip hop blog, magazine or newspaper publishes the story, articles and interviews, I’ll post links and tear sheets, then promote. So, look for my exciting series with this amazing artist, DJ, & MC. He’s involved in so many fantastic endeavors, I want to publicize it all and tell the world!

I hail from the same area as Hip Hop ICONS...RUN DMC and LL Cool J…, Hollis, Queens New York. I started emceeing and collecting tapes of all the Hip Hop parties and park jams through out the NYC Tri- state area back in 1982. A rap confrontation with Hip Hop Legend LL Cool J in 1984 led to me battling LL Cool J days later, in which I took my 1st loss in a MC battle.

I received a record deal contract from Independent record label Public Records in 1986 for the song...,"Lets Dance", after being referred to the label by Hip Hop Queens Park Jam legend MC Mikey D. However, I had to decline the opportunity to doing HipHop and rap music due to the involvement in the Jehovah Witnesses in which my mother and the organization were adament that I do not pursue my dream in doing rap music. I won a rap contest in 1990 that was put together by New Orleans based Black Cat Productions which resulted to winning a trophy and $500.00, and an opportunity to record a rap for a New Orleans R&B singing group and record at Paisley Park Studios...the recording home for Pop Superstar ...PRINCE in Minnesota.
