Who is "BLegend"?

BLegend is my stage name, short and sweet. The origins of this mysterious alter ego date back to the good old high school days in 2010. I was interested in this so called rap "game" but didn't know to much about it, nor did I have lyrics or any material. I knew I was good at poetry and loved to write, so I wrote a few poems, with a rhythm in my mind. In my 4th Period class there was a classmate who's name was Corey. We knew each other from our sophomore year which we had a class together, I don't remember the situation but rap came up and he said he wrote lyrics. I was stunned! He took out his hipster top of the line iPhone 3G and showed me some of the lyrics he had a wrote in his notes. I was amazed, I saw the way they were wrote and from that day forward my lyric days began.
I started gathering a hefty amount of lyrics writing down rhymes that would come to my mind, even though they didn't make sense. Corey and I were doing text freestyles which improved my lyrics. It was probably the coolest thing at that time for me. About a month later we wanted to get serious and take the first step on the ladder by recording a song. So we did.
I went over Corey's house and using his laptop we played the beat, using his iPhone recorder we recorded. Was it great? Of course!! This was a song that I would never forget. It was so simple and unplanned the worst quality but it spawned the future.
Now in 2013 almost 3 years of BLegend being born, I am proud to say that BLegend and Tripple C(Corey) are back we have now established our selves as "Rivals"- the name of our rap duo. For the past 3 months we have been working on our first mixtape as "rivals". The release should be by July of 2013. And yes I plan it being a huge impact in our areas. After all BLegend only released one song in 2012 that was recorded in 2011. I have recorded over 50 songs in the past years and I have only released about 25% of them. 2013 is the year of my return even though BLegend has never left.
