East Coast Born, West Coast Raised. This interesting dynamic is one that has helped to create and shape the sound and identity of Iranian American emcee Weapon-X. Originally from Brooklyn New York and now residing in Los Angeles California, Weapon-X has credited his experiences on both Coasts as well as that of his ethnic background as influences that have contributed to that of his overall style.

In 2008 Weapon released his official debut album "Portrait of a Starving Artist" to favorable reviews. With the majority of the album produced by the late Clockwork Murder, the album generated such a buzz on the net that despite receiving little promotion and Weapon-X's little known reputation at the time the album was heavily featured on bootleggers hip hop blogs all across the net, further helping increase the album's popularity. A few short months later, Weapon-X would team up with local San Fernando Valley emcee Basic, to form Basic Weaponry and release "The Sleepless Sessions" EP. Weapon-X would also team with UK emcee Grievous Bodily Harm to form the group, The Eastern Condors. They would release their EP "The Sofreh" in 2010.

In 2011, Weapon-X is preparing to release his sophomore effort "The Side Effect of Hunger" releasing the official single "Classick" feat. Jess the Facts and Blac Heat along with it's accompanying video produced by Arash Tebbi and Rugger Productions. Following the completion of this project there are also plans of a possible Eastern Condors LP to come.
