Rampage, (born August 2, 1974) is an American rapper who is a member
of the Flipmode Squad. He was born as Roger McNair in 1974 in Brooklyn,
New York City to Katherine McNair and Roger Williams. He is a long
time collaborator with Busta Rhymes, who are also cousins.
In 1992 Rampage landed his first recording deal with Dallas Austin
on Rowdy / Arista Records and released Beware of the Rampsack. In
1994, he recorded Flava in Ya Ear (Remix) with Craig Mack, Notorious
B.I.G., LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes. In 1996, he recorded the Platinum
Single "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" with Busta Rhymes
for the platinum album The Coming.
One year later he landed his second recording deal with Elektra
Records and released his Gold solo LP Scouts Honor by Way of Blood[citation

Squad, which gave them their first Source Award the next year in
1999[citation needed]. Since then he has recorded with Busta Rhymes
on numerous platinum albums and has featured on numerous projects
including a remix of the multi-platinum single "Fallin'" by
Alicia Keys.
Currently based in Philadelphia, Rampage recently signed an independent
record label deal for his company Deep Freeze Entertainment with
Sure Shot Records. On that label he has released for promotional
use a single of a new group signed to D.F.E named Total Vision. Lady
Day, a female rapper, is also on the roster.
Circa 2005, Rampage decided to relaunch his solo career and released
an official mixtape called 'Demagraffix' which was designed as a
starter to his soon-to-be-released 2nd LP. The LP itself arrived
in 2006 with the name 'Have You Seen?' on Sure Shot Records.
