Born in Amityville, Long Island New York in 1974, (the birth year of Hip-Hop) he learned of and fell in love with the five elements (emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti writing, and knowledge) of Hip-Hop early on as a youth, making his first recording at the tender age of eleven! Dabbling in all the elements, his two major fortès were Visual Art and Moving the Crowd.
In his borough of this cultures Mecca, he spent years honing his craft recording a multitude of promotional material for underground radio, in and out of groups, and putting out independent vinyl and compact disc's. Throughout his career he has shared the stage with a host of artists (such as The Cold Krush Brothers, the Krash Krew, the Furious Five, Double Trouble, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Red Alert, De la Soul, Redman, Keith Murray, Common, O.C., Organized Konfusion, and many others). In 2000, he retired from recording.
In 2004 he founded and became the CEO of Something2Say Communications in junction with SR Junior Period Publishing ASCAP IPI# 527539336. He later met Darren A. Quinlan (a seasoned musician and engineer), who would be a pivotal presence in his career. As time progressed, he became a member of the oldest, largest, and most respected grass roots Hip-Hop organization in the world, the Universal Zulu Nation Registered ID# - 70061. After hearing him, Darren convinced Samssun to return to writing, arranging, and producing music. The fruit of their labor, (combined with the turntableism of AyCE International) was the album Community Service.
The album also features the talents of Tasheem Reynolds, Ryan Avery, Darlene DeLoney, MC K-Swift, DJ Lord Yoda X, Glorious Quan, The Black U.N., O-Man, Say Love, AtLas, Christopher Addison, Ines Robinson and Amen Patron.
