Sal Graci Story/BIO

Sal Graci knew Va'Les and Omega Redd for a long time before he got introduced to Kwin MD. Sal Made Beats and Rapped MC style. His cousins and Brothers also rapped. He had made a deal with Kwin MD in 2003 (when kwin had the Roland 880 EX and used to record and mix songs) that for every song Kwin produced for Sal, Sal would get recognition in the album credits and give one beat to Kwin. Sal's music was self titled "Interself Productions". He made the beat for "Seveth Conscience Mind", "Forest Fire" by Common Ground Featuring PL and Traci, and other Hood classics. Kwin MD was introduced to Sal Graci before Va'Les. Both of them 2 were partners and Associates of Omega Redd (Redd introduced Kwin to Sal before Va'Les). Sal and Va'les were friends, they hung out and were cool, Sal even invited Va'Les to His wedding. These 2 both made beats, you would think they'd collab all the time....Not really, they made a few beats together in the past, some of the last ones they did together were "Bison" and "The Getaway"...Va'Les had a cousin named Willy From Philly who he made beats with sometimes, but it seemed whether it was Sal Graci or Willy From Philly, or even Omega Redd, when Va'Les collabed on the beat, it sounded real real good. When Sal Made beats by himself, just like Va'Les solo, they were good beats and they (solo) did nice jobs. When they did it together, they sounded GREAT. They used to call themselves "Odd Couple Productions" when Va'Les and Sal Graci got together. Mainly because they would argue from sun up to sun down while collabin on a beat.
