Amon

Amon Bio: Born David Amon McCann, the youngest of thirteen children, Amon learned early and often that he had to work extremely hard to get anything and fight even harder just to keep it growing up in the Bay Area. Inspired by rap legends Scarface, Rakim, Kool-G-Rap and N.W.A., Amon began coining his first rhymes at the young age of nine and selling them to his classmates on the school yard. Growing up fast, Amon had his first son at a young age. It was then that he decided to take his music hustle more seriously. Coincidentally, Amon met Eric and Jamaal, who already had a rap duo called E&J. Personalities and interests of all 3 perfectly molded and they formed a new group called Prime Suspect, which quickly garnered a strong buzz on the streets of their community catching the ears of a few independent labels. They finally settled with Young Gotti Records, whose roster included Sean T and Scoot Dogg, now of Dem Hoodstars. After failing to convince the label to drop a Prime Suspect project first, the label soon folded after releasing Sean T’s Pimp Lyrics & Dollar Signs, on which they were featured on the song, All In A Nigga’s Look. Soon after, Amon began pursuing a solo career, but still remaining tight with Eric and Jamaal. Since then Amon has recorded and/or performed with the likes of Too $hort, B-Legit and Keak Da Sneak to name a few , He has also appeared on mix tapes and compilations released regionally through independent formats. His latest release, When Trumpetz Blow Da Mixtape Vol. 1, which includes the mix tape classic Capitol, once again reminds the streets and the non-believers that Amon is still a force to be reckoned with and will not be ignored. With that said, it is no coincidence that his former partners in rhyme are now bosses of Nu Truth Entertainment and the driving force that's bringing Amon to the fore front. Amon has been well respected in the underground street circuit for a long period of time and is now focused and channeling all of his energy into being respected in the rap industry worldwide.
