[edit] Music career
His debut album The High Exhaulted was released on the Eastern Conference label to some praise, although some felt that RJD2's beats were too dark for Copywrite's persona.[1] His second release, Cruise Control Mixtape: Volume 1, was released on the O.D.O.T. record label in 2004, rerelased on Nature Sounds in 2005 and featured production from Jake One, J-Zone, & the late, great Jay Dilla. Copywrite was one of an original members of the Weathermen, but left after personal disagreements with Cage.
In 2007 Copywrite appeared on the debut album by R.O.N.O. and on the UK rap group Rhyme Asylum's debut album.[citation needed] His 2007 mixtape The Jerk: Volume 0 features guest appearances from Royce da 5'9", Crooked I, Killah Priest, Thirstin Howl III, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Jakki Da Motamouth, Catalyst, King.Dom, and Meta4ce Omega. It also features production from the late J Dilla, Jake One, Rocktight, the late DJ Przm, DR Period, platinum producers Cool & Dre, D-Dot, Needlz, Kickdrums, Chris Scholar, Jay Notes, Mighty Fuzz Young, and more.[2]
Copywrite recently released his EP Ultrasound: The Rebirth EP and his second official album, The Life and Times of Peter Nelson, which is scheduled for November 16 on I-tunes and 30th, 2010 at retail store on Man Bites Dog Records/O.D.O.T. Records. The album will feature collaborations with Sean Price, MF Grimm, Dilated Peoples, Copywrite's MHz crew (Camu Tao, Jakki Da Motamouth & Tage Future), and more. Production will come from RJD2, Illmind, Josh Gabriel, Twiz the Beat Pro, Kount Fif, Surock and more.
Copywrite is also the grandson of the late singer Skip Nelson (born as Scipione Mirabella) who most notably sang & played piano/guitar for the Glenn Miller Band in the 1940s.[citation needed]
In addition to dissing Philadelphia's The High & Mighty on the track "Poorly Promote This," Copy has recently come out with two disses to Asher Roth called "The Real Fake Shady (Asher To Ashes)" and, after response track "Silly Boy" from Asher, "Cremation" Produced by DC's Official Beatsmith Surock.
