LONG BEFORE EVAN Q. DIBBLE CALLED HIMSELF EVAN Q. DIBBLE, EVEN BEFORE HE CALLED HIMSELF EVAN O'RILEY, EVEN BEFORE HE CALLED HIMSELF WEIRD EV OR DJ JAZZY EV OR MANILLA RICE...HE CALLED HIMSELF MC BARGE. HE MAY HAVE BEEN 12, HE MAY HAVE BEEN 1O, HE MAY HAVE BEEN YOUNGER. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE WHOLE STORY BEHIND THE YOUNG RAPPER. BUT THERE ARE RECORDINGS (MOST OF WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON HIS ONLY ALBUM). ASTOUNDING RECORDINGS OF SUCH MAGNATUDE HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE BY AN ARTIST AS YOUNG AS BARGE. BACKING HIM UP WAS THE GROUP CALLED AUTOMOBILLE. THIS GROUP OF FINE YOUNG MUSICIANS WERE THE BEST AROUND:

DJ AUTO: "HE'S NUMBER ONE"
MO: BACKUP VOCALS
BILL: BEATBOX

TOGETHER THE FOUR COULD NOT BE STOPPED. UNFORTUNATELY THE BAND BROKE UP WITH NO RECORD CONTRACT, LEAVING MC BARGE ON HIS OWN. BARGE LAID DOWN ONE SOLO TRACK ENTITLED "BARGE RAP". IT ENTERED THE CHARTS AT #1, THEN LEFT THE CHARTS IN ONE DAY. GOING THROUGH MANY TRANSFORMATIONS AND WORKING WITH MANY MUSICIANS, MC BARGE FINALLY SETTLED ON THE NAME EVAN Q. DIBBLE (USING HIS REAL MIDDLE INNITIAL) AND HELPED FORM THE BAND DIG DUG. DIG DUG WAS WHAT BARGE (NOW CALLED Q. BARGE BY HIS FRIENDS) WAS LOOKING FOR. EVEN THOUGH SUCCESS NEVER DID HAPPEN FOR THE BAND, Q. FINALLY REALIZED HOW MUCH HE SUCKED AND IS CURRENTLY USING IT TO HIS ADVANTAGE...
