Yo its Da Rapta AKA Rapt Da Rippa AKA BlackMane. I chose the name Rapta cus im vicious on the mic, my metaphors n punchlines are my lyrical talons n I aim 4 ya neck.
I was born and raised in inner city Birmingham, England (da slums of brum). Ive moved around abit from Balsall heath to Acocks green to Sparkhill and now I reside in Oldbury which is on da outskirts of brum da areas cool still, it’s a lil quiet down these ends but its all good, everythins peaceful down ere.
Ive been a hiphop head since about 1997. Before 97 I was mainly into reggae n
dancehall, my pops is a rasta n reggae was always on blast in my yard. From da likes Bob Marley, Beres Hammond, luciano and all da old school lovers rock artists to supercat, yellow man, buju banton, capleton, Bounty killer and various dancehall artists.
I still listen to dancehall and bashment but HipHop is my true passion. Da first hiphop album I bought was the wu-tang forever double lp, I picked it up in 97 and since then ive been a hiphop junkie. The Notorious B.I.G is da artist dat inspired me to start rappin, his ‘slow flow is remarkable’ and his wordplay and metaphors are witty as hell, lines like ‘I drop unexpectedly like bird shit’ and ‘fuck the state pen, fuck hoes in penn state’ had me trippin like a spastic. Ha. Another artist that has inspired me is Nas, his flow is tight and his conscious lyrics can be unbelievably deep. Some other artist that I listen to: Jay Z, Eminem, 2pac, ice cube, snoop, common, Redman, big l, big pun, DMX, the Lox, etc da list goes on 4ever.
I started rappin In about 2003 lookin back at some of da rhymes I spit back then make me laugh.. my lyrics wer on some dumb shit but flow was on point. I really started steppin my game up in college. I started txt battling MCs on da net in IT class. Some of dem internet rappers be on some crazy multisyllabic punchline shit. Ha.
Im down with MAKE MONEY RECORDZ co founded by Junior Dean and Orlando D, they both got crazy styles. Ive known Dean since school days. we're workin on a 2man group called 2Real. Trust me we on some real shit,. We da uk mob deep but more lyrical. Shout out to da Producer Strawbz 4 hookin us up wit da hot beats and logos.
Watch out 4 Da Rapta. Reppin da MAKE MONEY faction.
One love
