Stockton, California. If you are having a hard time, Psyph Morrison is going to help you.
Born and raised in the Northern California city, Aaron Herrera aka Psyph Morrison had the aspirations of doing big things.ﾠ He always had a love of hip-hop, but it wasnﾒt until he listened to Jay-Zﾒs Vol. 3 Life And Times of S. Carter when he thought he could pick up a microphone.
It wasnﾒt until he was 18 years old, when Aaron first picked up a pen and a pad and wrote his first 16 bars. He was a freshman at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, when gave himself the monkier Psyph Morrison and recorded his first song. ﾓReady For Shineﾔ was the first time Psyph was behind a microphone, and it was that point on, he knew he wanted to perfect his craft.
Psyph continued to work on his art form by writing rhymes, and freestylin in the quad at Delta College. He was then contacted to become a ghostwriter for Khelo Thomas of the Disney movie Holes.. Although he continued to work on his craft, it wasnﾒt until Psyph linked up with James DeBarge where he turned the corner.
Working with DeBarge, Psyph began to realize how to truly put a song together. In 2005, Dee & Teak Underdue, the production team of Hallway Productionz (E-40, Ice Cube, Blackalicious, WC, Bueno, Young Maylay, Lyrics Born, Okwerdz) took notice of the young rapper. They took Psyph under their wings, and they were hard at work in the studio.
As the songs kept coming, Psyph began slowly building buzz in the streets. Fast forward to 2009, while working on his debut album “The Beautiful Imperfection“, Psyph felt he had too much material. That spawned the release of the mixtape, “The Making Of a Morrison Vol. 1“.
Now with his first official video in the can for ﾓIﾒm The Shit
(Hat Back)ﾔ, Psyph continues to work hard and do bigger things. He released his album on May 25th and appeared on a couple of tour dates with Snoop Dogg in July.
Check out the album’s lead single “I’m Da Shit (Hat Back)” below:
