Monsta Alladon

This weeks artist is a hip hop artist who has help to defend and protect our country. He goes by the name Monsta Alladon. AllaDon is the son of a POW in the 1983 Iran, Iraq war. His father was an Iranian civil engineer during that time doing some reconstruction work in Baghdad. After being
                                                                                                                                                               captured, tortured, and murdered by Saddam Hussein personal Army, his mother had
no choice but to remarry to a successful Persian American business man. At the age of
two AllaDon and his mother moved to Atlanta Georgia where he spent most of his
upbringing living a blessed normal American life. He grew up to love the hip hop culture
but his passion was cut short due to him joining the USMC immediately after high
school and spending most of his late teen early twenties in combat. It was during the
time of him being in combat where he learned and sharpened his skill in hip hop
delivery and free styling with his fellow Marines due to long hours of night watch and
the realization that there was a huge possibility for no tomorrow during WAR so music was his ultimate escape.Once returning from combat in 2007, Monsta AllaDon was recognized not only in the
States but around the world for such a courageous attempt to get avenge for his father
that he had never met. He was a part of the destruction of Saddam Hussein’s statue in
down town Baghdad as well as the death of one of his sons, Uday Hussein. From 2007
to about 2010 after getting out of the Military Monsta AllaDon spent most of those years
traveling and trying his best to see the lighter more positive side of life and human
society as opposed to all the darkness he had experienced before. You could say that
attempt was huge success for he met some of the most recognized names in Music and
in 2011 started working on his calling in music.
Monsta AllaDon started working on creating his own sound by doing what he loved
most, rapping. Freestyling over every rap beat he could find he began to find direction
by expression. Growing up in Atlanta AllaDon was inspired by Young Jeezy and T.I. but
was convinced he was destined to create his own path. AllaDon was convinced that
House music was the future and forced his producer Az-Y to start making house beats
specifically for him. The fusion now know as Hip-Hop house or Electro-Hop allowed him
to merger the two cultures while staying true to his passions. His first single “Make It.(FaceBook).
What got my attention was his song "Make It Right" so take a listen and tell me what you think.
