about
Around 1983, Brooklyn graffitti artist "Blas" was given the idea for the name Freshco by his homeboy "Delk" (TST). This was the perfect name for the up and coming popper/MC. "I would go to the Roxy in New York with DJ Professor Paul and pick up what I could from Fabel, Norm-Ski and "Boots" (Kool Keith), as far as popping moves go. I was also taken to Rap concerts at Madison Square Garden where I would record the audio of performances from LL Cool J, Run-DMC, Fat Boys and Jeckyl & Hyde to cassette". In those early days, Freshco made his way from Boro Park to Redhook Brooklyn to perfect his skills with then partner Freedom B. In late 1988 Freshco was signed to Tommy Boy records as a solo artist becoming label mates with De La Soul, Queen Latifah and Digital Underground. This was through Fresh's producer Jerry Calendar and A&R rep Dante Ross. Tommy Boy managed to convince Freshco that they could make one of his album filler songs "4 AT A TIME" at hit. Freshco would have preferred to put out a song that more so displayed his freestyle skills however Tommy Boy released 4 At A Time without a video to support it. Freshco met the already Philly famous DJ Miz at one of his first shows at Philly's YMCA West. At that point, they had no clue they would become partners in about a years time. In early 1989, rapper Ice Cream Tee of Philly drops a record called "Come On" which featured DJ Miz. At the same time DJ Clark Kent (Brooklyn), was talking Freshco into entering the New Music Seminar
