Credle was born in Brooklyn , May 13, 1971,[2] Bushwick section. O.C. cites legends like Kool G. Rap , Rakim , Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick as his main influences.[3] Organized Konfusion 's "Fudge Pudge".[2] MC Serch 's "Back to the Grill" (which features a young Nas ) after meeting Serch on the inaugural Source tour. Following the tour, O.C. signed with Wild Pitch Records in 1994 where Serch was vice president.[3] Lord Finesse and Buckwild on the first Source tour, marking his introduction to the D.I.T.C crew. After the tour he connected with Buckwild and started recording a demo that would become his debut album Word...Life [3]
By 1994, he had finished the album Word...Life Pharoahe Monch from Organized Konfusion .[3] Prince Po , Word...Life Nas was supposed to be on the album but never showed up to the studio for the recording session.[3]
In 1997, O.C. signed to Pay Day Records,[2] Jewelz DJ Premier , Da Beatminerz and Freddie Foxxx . The single "Far From Yours" peaked at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100Clockers Crooklyn Dodgers , which also featured rappers Chubb Rock and Jeru the Damaja on the now classic DJ Premier produced "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers".
