Alleyne

Christopher Leroy Rudder's emcee/stage name ?Alleyne? (pronounced ahhh-lean) is his mother's maiden name. The first of three children, (Andrew Rudder & Mark Anthony Rudder) Christopher called himself Alleyne because of the unconditional love and emotional support his mother gave him that helped bolster his career in music in Toronto, Canada and is the nephew of Barbados recording artist Bunny Alleyne,

Christopher (Alleyne) spent his early childhood growing up in a crime stricken neighborhood known as the jungle (Keele and Lawrence) He grew up in a culturally diverse neighborhood, comprised of many people from Caribbean and African descent, which exposed him to an eclectic selection of genres of music.

Alleyne's parents eventually left the jungle to the suburbs of Thornhill, where he met fellow microphone fiend Ashley ?Sherrkaan? Manoharan, Kevin ?Kevlaar? Hewit (Steel Halo), and Temus. Alleyne's emerging relationship with these talented, entrepreneurial-minded artists contributed to his metamorphosis from a rapper to a master of ceremonies/producer/engineer, which culminated in Alleyne forming LimeStone Studios; a studio that fostered an environment for the completion of independent musicians' albums and the development of Alleyne's artistic and intellectual inventiveness, lyrical writing and vocal delivery skills as a hip hop artist, as well as mixing and producing skills as a producer/engineer.

Together with Temus, Alleyne & Temus would later go on to record four albums; ?Alleyne & Temus? (1997), ?Dying To Survive? (1998), ?Off The Record? (1999), and ?Da B-Sidez - Unreleased? (2003). during that time Alleyne also recorded his first official solo album called ?Nothing Else Matters? (2000).

In 2003 Alleyne's career came to a sudden halt due to the diagnose and untimely death of his beloved step daughter who passed away from brain cancer in 2005. After being inspired by his step daughter's ceaseless display of uncompromising courage and conviction in the face of death and despair, Alleyne returned to the Hip Hop game in 2005 with a re-ignited fire in his belly and began to play with a new paradigm, new values, new objectives & convictions, new lyrics and new head knocker beats.

In 2006 he recorded his second solo and long awaited effort ?Everything's Eventual? (2006) and with Temus once again ?Collide? (2008). Also in 2006 Christopher ?Alleyne? Rudder along with his brothers; Andrew Rudder and Mark Anthony Ruder (also known as ?The Rudder Brothers?) launched and are the co-founders of an online magazine ?PulpMag?.
Aside from his co-founder title Alleyne writes in his very own column for PulpMag called ?Hearing Aid? and with LimeStone Studios he is the producer as well as host/co-host and theme music writer behind 5 of PulpMag's 6 podcasts; ?The PulpFiktion Video Podcast?, ?The PulpFuzion Podcast?, ?Sex & The Stars...The Podcast?, ?Podcast: Free Your Mind? & ?The BabyBlu RadioShow?. Alleyne, is also the video editor, cameraman and director of PulpMag's ?PulpTV? The success of PulpTV, The PulpFiktion Video Podcast and Podcast: Free Your Mind culminated in Alleyne creating ?SphinxPhilmz?
