History of Kadizzle

 What created Kadizzle? More than anything it was coal mining. Coal mining took up a major part of the life of Kadizzle. At about the age of 18 or 19, Kadizzle was employed driving a shuttle car. That is a piece of equipment that hauls coal underground. If you watch the video below it gives a good idea of how room and pillar mining was done at the Shoemaker Mine where Kadizzle started his mining career. From underground Kadizzle graduated to surface mining in North Dakota. the rest is history. Most mines now use a longwall system underground. It is much more efficient and more coal is recovered.
