Sir Myle, born Maurice Thomas, is a hip-hop artist originally from Chicago, Illinois whose early musical history is closely connected to Tre Dizzle. By the time the two met, Myle was living in Long Beach, California.
Their partnership began unexpectedly. Tre Dizzle had been asked to DJ for a mutual friend who was scheduled to perform at a show, while Myle was the artist’s neighbor. After arriving at the venue, the scheduled performer got cold feet and decided he could not go through with the performance. Tre was already playing music, so he and Myle spent approximately fifteen minutes putting together material of their own and took the stage instead.
The spontaneous performance was successful and became the beginning of Flatline.
During the Flatline era, Myle and Tre developed music together as performers, writers and producers. Surviving material documents the unreleased Come And Take A Ride project from the 1996–1997 period, with material written and produced by Myle and Tre for Flatline Productions.
The project went through multiple stages of development, and surviving archival materials preserve more than one track configuration. A planned March 18, 1997 release date appears in surviving material, but the project was ultimately not commercially released.
Flatline continued beyond the initial project, including the later 353:2000 AD era around 2000. This period represents one of the earliest sustained artist partnerships in Tre Dizzle’s career and predates the later Nightbreed and Dammit Boy Productions chapters.
Sir Myle later relocated to the Arizona area. His significance within the Dammit Boy Productions historical archive comes from his role in one of Tre Dizzle’s earliest creative partnerships and from the formation of Flatline during the formative California years of Tre’s development as an artist, writer and producer.
