Born in Jamaica raised in Miami, Florida to a family full of musical talent and influence. Peedi Green's gift of vernacular showed itself at a young age through witty, rhythmic and metaphoric wordplay. These skills awarded him the honor of being named the 2004 freestyle champion for The Source Magazine Unsigned Hype/AND 1 Mix tape series as well as being crowned by DJ Bigga Rankins of Cool Runnings/ Hittmenn DJs as “Freestyle King”, due to an array of battle victories. Both, an accomplished Songwriter, Producer and self taught musical dynamo,Peedi was fortunate to have a seat at the head of the class as he was mentored by many industry heavy weights including Professor Griff of the group, Public Enemy, and Mr. Mixx of The 2 Live Crew. Being signed to a label at the age of 13, he paid his dues by taking advantage of the machine he had at his disposal and tailored his craft by participating in freestyle battles up and down the East Coast, most of which he demolished. Peedi Green taught himself not only to blend “New York Style” hip-hop with the gritty, club friendly “Southern Style”, but also to expand into beat making and production. Peedi Green learned, and developed the use of live instruments in his music as early as age four. He first developed an interest in drums,and taught himself how to play, and by the time he was age nine, his Step Father began teaching him to play bass guitar.
