NEW YORK (Masta Mix Records) - Andre Levins, 1983, Hempstead, New York, USA. Another in a long line of "child rappers", including Da Youngsta's and Shyheim, A+ was just 13 years old at the time of his debut, The Latch-Key Child.

The first artist signed to Kedar Entertainment (headed by Kedar Massenburg, manager of D'Angelo), he stated his intention was to "...grab all the latch-key kids and bring them in. I want to let them know that they don't have to live like that."

As a testament to this "far-sightedness", his record company provided a full-time tutor during the record's promotion. The album included contributions from Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest), Prodigy (Mobb Deep) and AZ. A+ initially fostered hopes of becoming a professional football player, but soon began imitating Leaders Of The New School and Onyx in high-school talent contests. He won a national competition sponsored by Def Jam Records in 1995, where he was spotted by Massenburg.

His debut single, "All I See", saw many hip-hop commentators compare his lucid microphone skills to those of Method Man of the Wu-Tang Clan. After a two year hiatus, A+ returned with the international hit "Enjoy Yourself", which reached UK number 5 in February 1999. The single was an effective introduction to the rapper's adoption of a laid back, swingbeat-influenced style on Hempstead High. Now in 2004 He�s back to reclaim his place in Hip-Hop.

The first release on Masta Mix Records is a single called Throw Your Hands In The Air. He is also in the studio with Masta Mix Records artist and owner Traum. They are working on A�s album, to be released on Masta Mix Records late December 2004. Masta Mix Records 57 Thames Street Suite 3j Street Brooklyn, NY 11237 (718) 418-2495.
