I still remember that night at the Oakland Coliseum- November 29, 1989. It was two weeks before my 12th birthday. Was saw Patrick Ewing go for 40 as the Knicks took on the Golden State Warriors.

Also known as U.l.t.r.a.man, Provy was born and raised in Oakland, California. He earned his following in hiphop by competing in local rap battles as well as performing at open mics and talent showcases in the Oakland- San Francisco Bay Area. Eventually, he […]
