       Starting with 2  turntables, a tape recorder and a microphone, Mense entered the game with a raw East Coast flow and a crate of 12" records. Along side his DJ/manager T, Mense got his name out by recording freestyles over classic instrumentals (Aint no half steppin, Day One, The Symphony...), and distributing them locally around Jersey and NYC. From there, he began recording his demo at the legendary D&D studios in Manhattan but due to its early closure the project was left unfinished. Mense then moved from Jersey to Boston and enrolled in college classes but dropped out after only 3 months with the goal of puttin' all efforts towards the game.
       Only days after he left Boston and returned to Jersey, Mense was featured on DJ Envy's "Please, Listen To My Demo" mixtape as well as DJ On Point's "Step ya game up pt. 2". These spots then landed him on DJ Vlad's Unsigned heat section on "Hot In Here Pt. 4" which further secured his spot as a rising force in the mixtape game. He was recently featured on a new Snoop Dogg song called "Wheneva, Whateva" which will be released by Sickamore & DJ Whoo kid in late febuary.
       Currently Mense's plans are to continue building his reputation through the mixtape game and release a "Best of Mense" mixtape mid-summer '04.  Still unsigned he is looking to ink with a major label within the next few months and begin to make his mark on the game...
