Spence

About Me

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Spence took an interest in hip-hop culture in his youth and was rapping into cheap microphones over Gang Starr instrumentals by high school. In 2006, he took his southern roots and sensibilities to the midwest. Now living in Lawrence, Kansas, Spence coordinates local hip-hop shows and continues releasing music on a regular basis. In the last year and a half, Spence digitally released one solo LP and two collaborative EPs. Aside from lending his voice to projects, Spence produces most of the beats himself. For his lyrical honesty and charisma, Spence has garnered comparisons to Kanye West, The Fresh Prince and Eminem. His recent incorporation of electronic sounds into soulful hip-hop illustrates that his musical sensibilities extend beyond typical underground hip hop fare. Spence is an artist who creates what he feels at the time, and those efforts are appreciated by his listeners... .. ....
