Rapper Tim Dog started his career in the mid 80's when Tony Miller to older brother of Ced-Gee from the Ultramagnetic Mc's introduced him to Scott La Rock of Boogie Down Productions. Scott took a liking to Tim and started working on his solo career "Scott taught me the value of image and presentation" "I learned that being the best is no way nearly important as being your best". Scott unfortunately met an untimely death leaving Tim with no outlet to express his talent it was then when that Patrick Miller the younger brother of Ced-Gee took him under his wings and got him involved with Ced. Now Tim is working with Ced in the studio recording his demo when Ced gave Tim the opportunity of a life time the chance to be on a single called "Chorus Line" this classic debut marked the beginning of Tim's career and the World knowing for the first time the name Tim Dog.
