About Me



B E L T

Born and raised in Northwest Indiana, I now reside in the Northside of Chicago./p
You could say that I love music, but I don't know anyone who doesn't. I've been influenced by so many musicians that it doesn't even mean shit to list them all. You could tell where my inspiration comes from if you hear enough.

Went to college at Indiana University in Bloomington and entered a battle at a frat house. I did well enough for other contestents to give a few inspiring words and from there I've gotten enough props to do some small shit here and there. I've always been more of a lyricist than a battle rapper and you could tell by my flow. The love I received after that battle gave me the fuel to keep going and improve. Since then, lots of flowin and lots of writing have come and I'm always trying to progress. This is just the start for me. I play with the Funkshoe band sometimes and the song "No Love", up on my page was done with them. I can sometimes be found playing with them at one of their shows so pay attention to bulletins to find out when I'll be out there. The song "Gamblin Man" was produced and mixed by Sauce. Check out his music page to see what he's doing too. I write all my own songs as I feel that music is an expression of one's self, so everything up here is mine. I'll be doing some other shit with local artists soon, so keep up and I'll let you know. Check out the Upcoming Shows section to see where I'll be flowing at next.

Enjoy and, as always, leave feedback and comments. One
