Born and bred in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant section, Access Immortal was lauded as a strong up-and-comer in New York's hip-hop underground upon his 2005 debut album, Shades of Reality, with several critics fancying him as a Nas or Prodigy (of Mobb Deep) in their youthful prime. The underground MC sought out a career in rap after serving stints as a local DJ and an intern at New York's Fat Beats Records. He started with open mics in 2001 and eventually upgraded to bigger performance venues, like the ~CBGB's and ~SOB's, all over the East Coast. Immortal's first releases were a few self-pressed albums and 12"s, but he signed with independent label Early Spotter in spring 2005 before issuing Shades of Reality.
