About Enoch 7th Prophet
Enoch began writing rhymes at age 15. As a young member of the now-disbanded group, Total Kaos, Enoch took to the stage as Deejay Heath Cliff. During this formative period, Enoch started to develop his own unique rhyming style and learned how to deliver charged-anthems in school hallways, bathrooms, and even expanded to the public realm by performing on sidewalks during lunch breaks or beat boxin’ in a emcee cipher. After a year of rhyming with Total Kaos, Enoch, then Boogie, decided to explore Hip-Hop even further. In late 1992, Enoch joined emcee Kidd and together formed the group, Datzit. After a brief stint in the hip-hop world, Datzit disbanded in 1995. Enoch then took his rhymes to South Carolina , Voorhees College , specifically, where he pursued the fitting study of Sociology. There he was introduced to emcee FREEDOM BLACK who, in turn introduced him to producer EL-RA iz FONK C. In late 1997, FONK C produced Enoch's first tape, "Fickle-Mind State," which unfortunately slipped through the cracks of the Hip-hop streets. Upon Enoch's 2000 graduation, he returned to his home—DC, and with the help of best friend, now Dee Jay EARTH1NE, started to work with fellow starving artist VERSE-ALL. The two formed CULTURE CYPHA within a year. Their first release, "Aztect Planet," was received well in the DC Hip-hop world.
This success brought many radio spins and shows for CULTURE CYPHA. Then, in 2003, CULTURE CYPHA released their second LP entitled, "Translations.”
CULTURE CYPHA was also featured in "Live from the Block," a DVD featuring some of the dopest emcees in DC Underground Hip-hop. In 2004, Enoch released his much awaited EP, "7th Prophet,” which was very successful for him; gaining Enoch popularity on the radio and on campuses in DC. Enoch's underground single, "Rasta Imposter" was hand-picked to be on a nation-wide mix-tape entitled, "Dollars and Sense" pt. 2, by DJ Kash Monee and distributed by Sony Music. DJ Kash Monee has also called on Enoch to host "Dollars and Sense" mix-tape pt.3, which should be out in January, 2007. In 2005, Enoch was signed to the independent record label, "Keep it Forward Records," based in Atlanta , Georgia . He continues to have successes through his label.
During his underground career, Enoch has been a headlining act for Legendary Artists such as: Jeru the Damja, Krs-One, Wise Intelligent, Busy Bee, Just Ice, Akir, Ed. OG, Goodie Mob, Keith Murray, Redman, Master Ace, Professor Griff of Public Enemy,NYOIL,Immortal Technique and the list goes on!!!!!.
