Born on February 17th 1989; Matt Ewing A.K.A. Sense is a Chicago native. When it comes to the mic his abilities are incredible. He can flip many schemes and styles and still manages to be sharp as sword lyrically. However, he is far more than just a rapper. He is a real master of ceremonies; truly inclined with the cultural side of hip-hop, beyond the beats and rhymes. Sense uses experiences with elements such as graffiti, rollerblading, filming, painting, and instrumental production to the fullest in the formation of his words.

In about 1999, much before he even began to spit, Matt Ewing would roam the streets of Chicago on skates; jumping off and grinding on all corners of the city. Although, rollerblading is not necessarily defined as an element of hip-hop, it is still a positive culture of city life for many kids, and doesn’t cost much money. Like all other extreme sports, and similar to hip-hop, booting is about style, creativity, and innovation. Like many other skaters, Matt developed a passion for filming. He and his friends would bring camcorders to skate sessions and competitions and share edits with each other. While watching rollerblade videos Matt was able to come across music that radio stations didn’t play, and became captivated by underground hip-hop music.
