About Us
1996 The year of the underdog Philadelphia Hip Hop scene was emerging and Aphillyation was prepared to release a form of Hip Hop the city wasn’t used to. When Aphillyation started gaining traction in the city, even before the forming of Aphillyation we was MERDAH 1992 and we had a major buzz in the city. S/o DJ Ran Radio Active. When we started Aphillyation we didn’t know which way we was gonna take it, we were technically a new group. I’m thinking to myself how can we get the name buzzin my childhood friend Karl “Dice Raw” Jenkins was on tour with this group called The Roots they just signed a deal and Dice is on their debut single “The Lesson” It’s 1996 we just inked a distribution deal with Echo international out in Englewood NJ. Aphillyation released their debut single under their own label i“Universityle” titled ”United Snakes of America “ feat: Dice Raw of the legendary Roots crew. From there on Aphillyation would sign their first major deal with Tommy Boy records in 1999. The interviews on Philadelphia’s own Power 99 Fm to being interviewed on the legendary Wendy Williams show.
Aphillyation was determine to stake their flag in the industry doing a string of live performances from the State of Delaware to Houston Texas, Aphillyation blessed the stage with some of the biggest names in the game, Common, Black Thought, Black Moon Mobb Deep and many. The Electric Factory {Philadelphia} 2000 LYRICIST LOUNGE TOUR, we had to go on in back of EMENEM. Aphillyation have been shown love by radio air personality and DJ Stretch & Bobbito. We’ve rocked show’s with legend’s like KRS and Poor Righteous Teachers and that’s just part of our journey in fighting for dreams we’ve had years before that present day and here we are today.
Born on June 19, 1984, as Michael “B-Thang” Ross, known by his stage name as Ec_Thangsta hails from
Aliquippa, a small town on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for its rough neighborhoods
and resilient communities. Growing up as the second of three children in a challenging environment, he
witnessed first-hand the impacts of street life, with his family entangled in the struggles of addiction and
poverty. Early on, he was drawn into the cycle of “the next play,” a mindset rooted in survival that
became central to his youth. Ec_Thangsta’s music is a reflection of these formative years, embodying
the harsh realities and untold stories of life in Western PA.
From the age of 11, Ec_Thangsta was already entangled in the legal system, having faced his first felony
charge. His teenage years were marked by a relentless engagement in street life, a path that eventually
led to a severe consequence: a 17-to-40-year prison sentence that began at age 22. While incarcerated,
he experienced both the brutal lows and unexpected highs of prison life, where every day presented a
choice between personal growth or descent into hopelessness. For him, prison became a place of self-
reflection and evolution, offering the chance to learn from the array of individuals he encountered—
both the best and the worst of society.
Music played a major role in Ec_Thangsta’s life, providing a backdrop and a voice for his experiences.
Influenced by artists like Juvenile, Beanie Sigel, Tupac, Jay-Z, T.I., and Cam’ron, he found parallels
between their narratives and his own. Among these, Shyne stands as his all-time favorite, a rapper
whose raw storytelling mirrors Ec_Thangsta’s dedication to authenticity. Embracing newer artists such
as Rylo Rodriguez, Latto, and Rob49, he appreciates the evolution of hip-hop, but is adamant about his
own distinct style, rooted in his lived experiences and reflections from both the streets and the
penitentiary.
His music resonates with the struggles and triumphs of his community. With a lyrical approach that
draws from firsthand experience, he delivers narratives that are unapologetically real. His city of
Aliquippa serves as both a muse and a testament to his journey; his songs are a voice for those still
behind the walls and a message for anyone facing similar paths. His creative process involves
transforming street tales into vivid, impactful stories, allowing listeners to grasp the complexities of his
life.
Ec_Thangsta is making waves in the hip-hop scene with a string of powerful releases, including Hatin’ On
Me, The Hit, and World On Fire. Each project showcases his raw talent and authentic storytelling,
bringing listeners into his world with unfiltered lyrics and a unique perspective shaped by his own
experiences. Ec_Thangsta’s music is fueled by resilience and a commitment to realness, with tracks that
reflect both the struggles he’s overcome and the energy of his hometown, Aliquippa, PA. Through his
music, He continues to build a loyal fanbase who resonate with his grit, truth, and vision, and he’s
quickly establishing himself as a voice to watch in the rap game.
His anticipated mixtape, “Y’all Should Be Proud of Me,” set to drop in December captures a pivotal
moment in his journey a call for acknowledgment, not only from his city but from himself. It’s a
declaration that he has made choices and is asking others to respect his growth, his evolution, and his
resilience. In this track, Ec_Thangsta seeks not just recognition, but understanding, inviting listeners to
pick a side: support his journey forward or stay locked in the past.
Today, Ec_Thangsta stands as an artist with a unique perspective, blending his past with his present to
create music that is both personal and universal. His sound is a mix of gritty realism and profound
introspection, serving as a beacon for those who have faced similar struggles. Through his work, he
continues to share the untold stories of his life and community, cementing his role not only as a rapper
but as a true storyteller for Aliquippa and beyond.
