Pab Montega comes from Red Bank, New Jersey, a historically significant location on the eastern side of the state, overlooking the Navesink River and close to the Jersey Shore, Exit 109. The local music scene, influenced by pioneers like Tony T and his younger brother, who were early members of the Five Percent Nation in Monmouth County, shaped the area's unique musical identity, known as "Rule Born." Pab Montega grew up listening to the early music on the radio and at parties, where cutting, scratching, and emceeing were common practices.
Pab Montega's primary goal in his music career is to stay relevant and reach audiences beyond his immediate circle, something he has already achieved. He believes that the independent music scene is often misrepresented and that corruption in the industry makes it a preferable path for his team. His group has worked diligently, as hard as any major or independent label, and their catalog continues to grow. Pab Montega seeks to alter the current industry model, especially how labels exploit artists with unfair deals.
Pab Montega and his team have faced numerous obstacles, including unfair treatment from radio stations, blogs, and media, which have hindered their talent's proper development. Despite these challenges, they have established their presence in the industry. Pab Montega encourages listeners to check out his music on Bandcamp and Spotify, as his work reflects the foundation and evolution of his area.
