Joe Mayberry has been writing, producing, recording and performing music since 1989 as a young teen. Known as lil Joe, he gained an underground buzz from his hard core lyrical delivery. Even though lil Joe was deep into the secular scene, he always maintained a level of knowledge and motivation in his music. After graduating from College, he moved back to Dallas to pursue his dream and rap career. Lil Joe landed a couple of Independent record deals that fizzled because of illegal funding. As a result of supplementing his income, he started substitute teaching and eventually became certified in Special Education. Never leaving his passion and as a result of his involvement in education; lil Joe became Mr. Mayberry. Mr. Mayberry started using his gift to motivate students to pass classes as well as standardized test. Mr. Mayberry began going school to school motivating student bodies and educators alike. http://www.cdbaby.com/m/cd/babygirl While creating music to entertain student bodies, he also began producing and recording profanity free rap songs with students.
