Spit Fire Save the Matches Radio ( Spin 4th )

SPIN4th, also known as Superb Procurer of Ingenious Narrations to the 4th Power, is a hip hop artist and producer. He first gained recognition as a member of the legendary underground hip hop trio, Yaggfu Front, in the early 90s. The group was known for their unique blend of jazz and boom bap, infused with layers of sound and witty lyricism that covered everything from everyday events to absurd adventures.

Before his time with Yaggfu Front, SPIN4th was cutting his teeth in the small town of Kinston, NC. He was introduced to DJing at the young age of 15 by his cousin, Jock from East Orange, NJ, and started rocking in his father's night club soon after. This provided him with the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who were serious about hip hop, and he began to learn about drum machines, break beats, and sampling.

After attending college in Raleigh, NC, SPIN4th met the rest of his crew: Jingle Bell, who lived in his dorm, and Deranged and Damage, who he met at WKNC radio at NCSU. Together, they formed Yaggfu Front and began making records in the original NC flavor. SPIN4th also began to seriously dabble in production, learning the ins and outs of the Akai, Ensoniq, and Emu samplers.

Despite gaining notoriety with Yaggfu Front and fashioning a new production style with their album "Action Packed Adventure," the group became victims of the cool down of the golden era of hip hop and the industry's switch to a more aggressive form of rap. At this time, SPIN4th put the mic down and focused on honing his production skills and crafting his own unique style.

After taking a hiatus of about five years, SPIN4th picked up the mic again, blending his new style of rhyme with the new style of beats. For the next 15 years, he continued to have fun with hip hop while also becoming an IT professional in the background.

Now, with the 50th anniversary of hip hop upon us, SPIN4th is gearing up to release new music and be a part of this monumental occasion. Fans can expect a wild ride from this hip hop veteran.
