Despite his rigid religious upbringing, Megahertz immersed himself in what his mother called "evil music". But as Megahertz admitted to ''Billboard Magazine'', "Not being able to listen to music only made me want to hear it more."〔 Tired of rapping over other people's beats, Megahertz began to purchase his own equipment and secretly keep it at his friend's house. Before long, producing music took precedence over rapping.〔 One of his first breakthrough hits was "Bad Boy for Life".〔 According to ''Vibe Magazine'', "...Megahertz's bionic rubber-band beat for 'Bad Boy for Life' put Diddy back in the winner's circle." 〔 Grammy nominated〔http://allcharts.org/news/2002/01/26/00000022.htm|publisher=allcharts.org〕 and certified four times platinum, it was the second single from P.
