MALE HIPHOP RECORDING ARTIST GOD ENIGMA NNIGMA AMUN-RA started rhyming in the year of 1988 using a distinctive powerful delivery and a clever hard-hitting flow . As time went on he proceeded by constantly writing using different styles and methods of rhyming lyrically building his skills for professional use. By 1993 he found himself completing two 12 track albums ready to be introduced to the world revealing the birth of NNIGMA. Performing at numerous underground clubs around the tri-state area that year following he moved to Philadelphia and after analyzing their hiphop scene he started perfoming and doing open mic shows at local clubs like Club Dances, Club Fever, Gothum, The Redzone, Club Winners and also the Man Music Center. As his exposure around the city grew he was asked to be interveiwed on three different occasions by this hiphop television show on channel 35 called Urban-Xpressions, which also led to him being interviewed on two of philly's biggest hiphop an R&B radio stations POWER99 FM (98.9) and PHILLY 100.3 THE BEAT. In 1995 as time past he stared on a compilation album with other artist from different independent labels titled ''Three In Tha Chamber'' which featured two singles off his first album called ''Breakin Rules'' and "Meditate Deeply" (tha remix) which both songs debut on POWER99 FM. Two other songs were also released off nnigma's first album titled ''Sleepwalkers'' and ''Rufflife'' which was played on POWER99 FM make it or break it and both songs made it by 79% percent. Afterwards nnigma started traveling to other states like New Jersey, Delaware, Washington DC, LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta, and New York headlining shows performing in front of larger audiences. Enigma also performed with various artist like DMX, Sons of Man and Royal Fam of the wu tang clan , Mobb Deep, Ram Squad, Major Figgas, Doug E. Fresh, Mic Geronimo, No Question, ,jagged edge ,memphis bleek , beanie sigel and many others. In the middle of 1998 with new producers he headed back in the studio to work on his newest creation entitled ''THE FINAL CONFLICT THE WAR BEGINS'' and the first three singles released were ''Armageddon'', "Forces of Nature'', and '' Inter the Game". Before finishing the album an E.P. was released called "ENIGMA 2000" under a production company called Fly Productions with great managment and outstanding promotion 500,000 copies was sold on the streets alone in the first two weeks. In 2000 Enigma finally put the finishing touches on the album recording the last three songs titled ''Lyrical War'', "I Dedicate'', and ''You Aint Safe No More". Returning back to Philly in the summer of 2000 he was asked to perform at a unity day celebration in the Germantown part of Philadelphia which was being given by 100.3 THE BEAT. Enigma, Dutch & Spade of (Major Figgas), and also EVE performed. The community and the radio station loved the show so much they asked Enigma if he would come and do it again the following year (2001) and he said "yes it would be my pleasure". Enigma has come to revolutionize the rap game because according to him, it has been stolen for a long time. His lyrics and personality are a mystery, a riddle, a puzzle so what better name to go by than Enigma. There are no boundaries Enigma can't cross and no beats he can't flow with. His innovative style and powerful lyrics will help him make the changes hip-hop needs. AS FOR ENIGMA BEING AN ARTIST A RAPPER A MC HE HAS MADE A PROMISE TO HIMSELF,THE MASSES,AND TO HIS PEERS IF AND WHEN HE DOES GET SIGNED HE WILL REVEIL AN UNLEASH THE LYRICAL POWER THAT'LL CHANGE THE FACE OF THIS RAP GAME FOREVER.....KNOCKING IT OFF ITS VERY FOUNDATION...SO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY NEEDS TO PREPARE ITSELF BECAUSE HE'S COMING.....................GET READY! AS A JEALOUS AND SPITEFUL YOUNG BOY, THE THUGGISH GOD ENIGMA TOOK GREAT PLEASURE IN TORMENTING OTHER RAPPERS. FORCED BY HIS MARRIAGE TO HIPHOP , ENIGMA GREW MORE ENRAGED BY THE DAY AS IT BECAME EVIDENT HIS OBESSION WITH RHYMING TOOK OVER HIM. THE RAGE GREW STRONGER WITH EVERY BAR ENIGMA SPIT FROM HIS MOUTH - THE BEATS AND TRACKS BROUGHT ON A PUNISHMENT TO HIS PEERS LYRICAL ACTIONS AGAINST ENIGMA. WHEN THESE OTHER RAPPERS UNWITTINGLY ENTERED ENIGMA'S DOMAIN HE SAID TO HIMSELF IT'S TIME I USE MY POWERS, ENIGMA TOLD THE OTHER GODS AN INVASION WILL BE A DELIBERATE PERSONAL ASSAULT ON THE ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY. GOD ENIGMA WAS BROUGHT INTO THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS WERE HE WOUND UP IN THE DARK REALM. WHEN GOD ENIGMA DESERTED THE REALM THE SENIOR GODS TRAILED HIM IN A BID TO BRING HIM BACK TO EGYPT WHERE THE TRANSFORMATION PROSEEDINGS WERE ORDERED. FOLLOWING HIS TRANSFORMATION ENIGMA ESCAPED INTO A DARK CAVE, THE SENIOR GODS SAW ENIGMA PICK UP A LARGE MIC - A MIC THAT WOULD FOREVER ALTER ENIGMA'S LIFE. HE HAD ENTERED THE LONG-HIDDEN TEMPLE OF THE XVIIITH DYNASTY. THE MIC GOD ENIGMA DISCOVERED CAME WITH AN OMINOUS INSCRIPTION THAT READ: "WHOSOEVER TOUCHES THIS MIC SHALL POSSESS THE IMMORTAL POWER OF THE XVIIITH. HENCEFORTH, YOU WHO READ THESE WORDS SHALL BECOME FOREVERMORE AN IMMORTAL GOD." THE SENIOR GODS WATCHED IN HORROR AS GOD ENIGMA BECAME THE MONSTROUS TUTANKHAMUN , GAINING SUPERLYRICAL POWERS AND LYRICAL INVULNERABILITY. BUT JUST AS THE TRANSFORMATION COMPLETED, GOD ENIGMA SCREAMED " THE INDUSTRY WILL COLLAPSE AROUND THEM". ENIGMA ESCAPED, AND THE SENIOR GODS DID NOT TRY TO STOP HIM. WITH GREAT EFFICIENCY,GOD ENIGMA SPIT HELL'S FIRE AND BURNED HIS WAY OUT OF THE CLUTCHES OF THE SENIOR GODS AND MADE HIS WAY BACK TO AMERICA. YEAR AFTER YEAR, GOD ENIGMA BATTLED VICIOUSLY WITH THE FALSE PROPHETS, FUELED BY HIS LIFELONG HATRED FOR WACK RAPPERS. GOD ENIGMA IS HERE TO BRING ONLY VENGEANCE AND CHAOS, ENIGMA'S FATHER THE EGYPTIAN PHAROAH ANKHENATEN HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED HIS SON COULD BE SAVED. BUT WHEN THE POWERS OF HIS MIC ORDERED GOD ENIGMA TO BATTLE, HE WENT OUT OF CONTROL, GOD ENIGMA SOUGHT THE AID OF THE XVIIITH DYNASTY. THE GREATEST RAPPERS AROUND THE WORLD UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO RHYME AGAINST THE GOD ENIGMA, WHO LATER ACCEPTED AN OFFER TO JOIN THE XVIIITH DYNASTY. GOD ENIGMA FOUGHT ALONGSIDE THE OTHER IMMORTAL PHAROAHS IN A BATTLE AGAINST THE FAKE POETS AND INEXPERIENCED RECORD LABELS. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT FILLS GOD ENIGMA'S HEART THIS EXPERIENCE SO DRAMATICALLY ALTERED HIM THAT HE SOUGHT OUT TO TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY. WITH THE APPROVAL BY THE XVIIITH DYNASTY THEY ASKED HIM TO BECOME THEIR RULER AND LEAD THE WAR. GOD ENIGMA WHO HAD ALWAYS WAITED FOR THIS DAY, GLADLY ACCEPTED AND THE XVIIITH DYNASTY GAVE GOD ENIGMA THEIR BLESSINGS....AND FOR THOSE WHO THOUGHT IMMORTALS DIDN'T EXIST......WE DO....GET READY
