Act Like You Know Me, Know Me (Traxxmix)

Jaihid Avon Rush, aka King Spydamann, was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, and raised in Decatur, Georgia, but he only started pursuing music professionally after living in Clair-Mel City, Florida. He and his friends in Decatur, where he grew up, used to rap and write songs, but it wasn’t until he lived there that he actually took it seriously. He met a group of artists calling themselves CMC Allstars and saw how serious they were and everything they were doing, which wasn’t much, but it was light years ahead of his views on being a rapper.

When he returned to Decatur, he formed a few groups trying to recapture what was learned in Florida. Dramatized Commission was the first (He, Jabez, SpitFire, Chris, Jas). It didn’t work out, so Spit Fire recruited C.A.L.A.V. (Composer Arranged Logically Around Visions or Dyrti C), and the trio formed Verbal Violence. Eventually, a friend at school introduced him to Classico from Mystyc Family, and Verbal Violence joined the Mystyc movement.

Mystyc Family did a few things in the early 2000s. Most notable was the underground release of their first album, Mystyc World. Then SpitFire, another close friend, J-Threat, and King Spydamann were caught by police for carjacking. They served ten years. During that time, Mystyc went on to release Booty Bounce but kept in touch. Upon his release, he vigorously pursued his career, releasing several singles, a mixtape with Mystyc Family, joined the cast of Atlanta Hit Makers, joined Atlanta's Ugly, and published the fictional epic novel series The Red Bricks of Krusck.
