Stash

Stash a.ka. The Main Street Strangler was born Adam Ballard on June 9 1985. Of Black, Jewish, Native American(Cherokee), Russian and Hungarian, brought up on Roosevelt Island, New York, Stash began rapping in the seventh grade. During the younger years of Stash's life he started up a group with local friends from the neighborhood, E.X. and TUGE. At that time they were called Desperados. About two years after that Stash and the others thought the name of the group needed a change so since they were the youngest coming up where they came from, they thought why not call themselves the "Lil Younginz". After a few years went by, things started getting out of hand and not working out the way they planned, so unfortunately the group went their separate ways. During that era, Stash's older brother Black Attack had a large name for himself in the local area and across seas. Black really influenced Stash's career and got him started on his own. During the early 2000's, around 2006, Stash had a guest appearance on Billy Crawford's BIG CITY album and featured on the song "Hiccups" which brought Stash and Billy closer together as good friends. During that period of time Stash decided to come up with his own label called Str8 Gutta Music!At the beginning Stash began working on expanding the label with his sister Lauren Renee and his older brother Blackadon and collaborating on songs with LNF Productions. He has currently made a large name for himself in underground hip hop factions and he's still moving up in the game. A few years ago he released a small EP in march of called, "Stashatory Rape" under LNF productions, which critics and community have been up in arms about the controversial title. With all that aside Stash has also created a large fan base at Myspace.com with the first single, at the time, "Fall Back" that allowed listeners to get a taste of what's to come. He also has the B-side track "Gimme Some Space", produced by Billy Crawford, which some say is a real ironic title. Just recently Stash took it upon himself to take a flight out to LA where he was working with his good friend/producer, Billy Crawford. Out in LA, Stash worked day and night on new material that he is putting together for his new LP coming out called, "THE STASHBOX LP. As of right now, Stash has about 3 songs feat. Billy Crawford and 3 songs produced by him, and not to mention I featured on 3 of his new songs soon to be released. Also thanks to Stash's hit-maker Slam, who is the main producer on the album. Slam is a well-known producer from France. Stash met Slam through Billy. While Stash was out in L.A., The beats Stash was rapping over where prod. By this Slam. According to Stash the tracks were "CRACK!". So a couple months after Stash returned from L.A., Slam arranged a trip to New York to meet with him. Slam was so impressed with the tracks From Stash that he left him with 3 beat CD's full of hard hitting instrumentals. After that, the rest was history. Stash was ready to make an album! With all of that said, Stash managed to put together a team of geniuses which consist of people he trusts, but unfortunately somewhere down the line as the years went on things changed. Now, 4 years later, the year 2010 has a lot in store for Stash. What started out a Smoked Out Production(S.O.P.) thing, which is the independent label Stash's brother Blackadon is under, has now become a Str8 Gutta Music thing. Stash thought it was time for him to take matters into his own hands and make his voice heard. A lot of things have changed according to Stash's blueprint. His Publicist/Friend Garrett Nadrich suggested that he do things on his own in his own way. Shorty after this big decision in his life, Stash thought why not put himself out there as much as possible and start a YouTube Channel called "StashBoxtv". It will consist of in house…
