Artist Description*
This young emcee was born and brought up in Rotterdam (the Netherlands ). He was introduced to the world of hip hop when he overheard his brother playing a Snoop Dogg track - and found his love for rapping when he was 17 years old. It was then that he wrote his first ever rhyme and has been developing his profile in order to – as he states ‘do something he loves’. For IMF, rapping takes for of a vent in which he can express his own true feeling about life as a whole. His lyrics are either an expression of self-experience or simply bragging and boasting. He is of a friendly and talkative nature – and can sometimes come across as cocky as he is always honest about his feelings and doesn’t hesitate to voice any opinion of which he will defend it without any question. With two feet always firmly on the ground, IMF's confident personality prevails through his lyrics.
Background Information*
IMF the youngest of 7 children shared his childhood with his (Surinamese/Guyanese) mother whom he lived alone. His childhood was somewhat ‘rough’’ but his mother always provided him with the things he wanted. He often found himself in the middle of everything and was involved in as he describes ‘bad encounters’ on the street however he was soon to realize that certain people could not be trusted and became more selective upon choosing company. IMF states “ if it hadn’t been for my music, I would have probably ended up a criminal in the streets’’ it’s obvious therefore that it is ever important for him to achieve success in his future career. Although he had a love for the streets, IMF knew education was important also and constantly searched for knowledge. Which is evident in his school grades. He surprised his teachers by working hard and never failing to hand in a homework assignment- which was higher that their expectations of him.
Experiences*
IMF has always been writing and performing songs at local events. He likes to create songs that display his collective outlook on subjects that hold his interests. For IMF, being involved with music allows him to express himself through his lyrics. Performing is his favorite area as he loves being in the spotlight and ‘showing off’.
