Aryan Arys Carrafa was born on September 30th 1979. His parents, Victor and Joan Carrafa were considered the Bonnie and Clyde of the new age. Carrafa spent his early years in New York under the care of foster parents and later passed around to different relatives while both of his parents were incarcerated. He later moved to Sacramento California once his mother was later released. Meanwhile his father was serving a life sentence for several crimes which can not be disclosed. Growing up in Sacramento was a struggle for Carrafa, with the gangs and drugs in circulation throughout the area; it was hard for Carrafa to stay out of trouble's path. So, in 1992 Carrafa started break dancing, and doing graffiti in an effort to stay away from the drugs and violence which was sure to catch up with him at some point. It was that very point in time, Hip-Hop was permanently imbedded into Carrafa's life. With things going well, unexpectedly, Carrafa's father (Victor) escaped from Sac. County jail, resulting in the shooting of an Officer. He was later captured two days later and sentenced again to double life. At this point, Carrafa was sure to never see his father breathe air from the free world again. Although Carrafa was mentally traumatized by the events, he still pushed, and persisted to remain productive. He started rapping shortly after at thirteen years old, and it was history from then on. Both Carrafa and his boy Rage recorded their first song together at 14 with a microphone and a tape player, the song was hot! About two years later, Carrafa's mother (Joan) was caught in an armored car heist, resulting in a life sentence that nearly resulted in the death penalty. Carrafa was then extremely down with no better choice than to move to the bay area with his close friend Rage, and hustle anything he could to survive. At fifteen he was battling M.C.'s at clubs, and on the street's earning a reputation as one of the best battle rapper's in the entire state. When in a battle hosted by Zulu Nation, Carrafa received 2nd place and shook the hands of Hip-Hop legends such as, Africa Bambada, and The Grand Wizard Theodore, not to mention, the battle was fixed. By eighteen years old, Carrafa came out on several mix tapes, and appeared on a number of college radio stations. At nineteen the hustle caught up with him, and three masked gunmen invaded Carrafa's apartment, where Carrafa, his girlfriend, and eight other friends were hanging out. The robbery turned into a gunfight and Carrafa shot one of the gunmen, and in return the robber ran out of the apartment and shot Carrafa's best friend in the back while laying face down. Carrafa was then completely torn apart. Carrafas good friend Rage then insisted that he move back to the bay area to stay with him once again. It was then Carrafa gathered some investors, and put his whole 200% heart and soul into making it big in the music industry. In 2000 Carrafa officially critiques his camp, and establishes Evol Empyre Ent. It's then that Carrafa and his team, starts knocking out song, after song, and performing at several locations throughout the bay area, and Sacramento. He then stars in a low budget film which receives several awards at film festivals, meanwhile pushing demo C.D.'s, shooting music video's and promoting Evol Empyre Ent. in an effort to blow to the top. With a group album completed, and a solo album on the way, Carrafa will change the way the world listens to music. He has been creating a buzz for years and is known as an underground king, and considered one of the most talented Hip-Hop artists of his time. With the line up of albums on the way, either done or under construction, Carrafa is doing big things, strategically completing the formula to drop harder than anyone ever before.ITS A MOVEMENT
