Always around music Da' Sage started writing at the age of 12 influenced by artist such as KRS-One, Rakim, Gang Starr & Nas. With his rapid growing interest in music Da’ Sage who always was interested in sports started taking upon different music classes & joining different after school activities related to music. Entering the Puerto Rican hip hop scene in 1997 with Mind Dwella, Boogie One & EZ Beat as a members of a group called Da' BDF, Da’ Sage emerged as one of the best lyricist to bless the Mic releasing two mixtapes; “Mixology” in 1997 & “Da’ B.D.F.” in 1998. At this same time he started working along side the Freestyle Assoc, helping organize several B-boy Jams, Emcee Showcases & block parties.
Later on during his young career he formed alongside Mind Dwella, The Host 224 & Apokalypze a group called DAPS, this was short lived as each of the members went there separate ways but Da’ Sage eventually released all of the unreleased material on “The Assembly Final Battleground” Mixtape in 2004. With his blue collar attitude & incredible work ethic Da' Sage Flowz Precise established himself as one of the premier artist in Puerto Rico's underground Hip Hop scene, gaining the attention of different artist & producers in the industry. That same year he signed a Management deal with Kaydean Media International & was on the verge signing his first major record deal but the negotiations did not go as planed.
