was born and raised in the historic Dallas area called Oak
Cliff. He still currently resides with his wife in the Oak
Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.
B-Boy
Stibs was an avid b-boy and would often listen to a variety
of music on his older brother's turntable set. His older
brother, Rudy Roc, was a legendary icon for Dallas club DJ's
in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Early on, Stibs was
influenced by an eclectic range of artists including Digable
Planets, The Fugees, Al Green, and James Brown.
First Rap Song
It was when he was only twelve years old he wrote and
recorded his first rap song entitled "Oh Baby" with his
cousin Eric Ray Franco by only using a karaoke machine and
the 1991 CD release of "Orbital" from Orbital as their
instrumental.
Graffiti
As a teenager, Stibs was also introduced to the graffiti
lifestyle. He would usually go by two different names. He
was only in two graffiti crews, IRS & DFW, before he was
invited into Infinitee Crew. Infinitee Crew or IC, was the
first graffiti crew to originate in Dallas in the late
1980's.
Dallistic
In 2001 through 2003, Stibs and Apt23, a local female
christian emcee, formed the hip-hop duo Dallistic. They were
apart of the local Christian rap scene during this time as
well. The femcee Dallistic eventually released a record
titled "Live Life" on the independent label Praise HIM With
Records. They also had guest appearences from LA Symphony,
KJ-52 and RedCloud.
BC - Bone Circus
Eric and DJ Sean P was another local hip-hop duo named Bone
Circus aka BC, in Dallas since 1999. Stibs officially joined
the group in 2004, after the disband of Dallistic. BC poised
to bring their fresh sound to audiences and iPods everywhere
who were eager the listen.
BC Releases
With an humble yet loyal fanbase, which made their 2004 EP
release, The Locals, an underground success. Stibs only
produced the track " Problems". In the 2006 release of
Framework, Stibs was featured on several tracks and produced
"Loving You Easy". Shorty after the release of Framework, BC
disband due to the early retirement of Sean P in 2006.
ILLY Graham
Stibs and Eric pulled together and continue to push on with
their music under the new name "illy Graham". While their
album is still in working progress, "illy G" made their big
debut on stage with their new identity at the annual Tampa,
Florida festival "Fla.Vor Fest" in 2006.
Nvade
The DJ is also the creator of the (cartoon) character Nvade.
A small figure wearing a hoody. Stibs subsequently began to
concentrate on his Nvade side-project, with which he'd been
experimenting since late 2004. Nvade started off as his
graffiti character logo.
Nvasian
His story behind the character is that Nvade is a Nvasian.
Nvasian is a race of aliens from Nvasia with an interest in
Graffiti. They came to Earth to experience hip-hop 1st hand
from which it started. Then Stibs wanted to go further with
this Nvasian. Stibs debuted Nvade's voice in late 2005.
Copy?
Quasimoto, a creation of super producer/MC Madlib (Stones
Throw), would be the first to come into your mind. Actually,
Stibs would be the first to admit, he did this voice to be
on that same creative tip but not to bite or to be
misunderstood.
All-Star Rejects
The All-Star Rejects are the bizarre alter egos of
Producer/MC/DJ Stibs, one of many underground christian
producers on the South Coast hip-hop scene. The All-Star
Rejects are DJ Stibs and Nvade as the MC.
Albums
The DJ/producer is working on his next solo recording: "The
Love Project" as well as the first All-Star Rejects release
entitled: "Nvade & DJ Stibs Are the All-Star Rejects". An
instrumental version of the album will followed later. The
album "And I Love Her" is postponed until later notice.
