The Imperialist

About Me

Born in Miami from Jamaican decent, I grew up needing to express myself. I started out doing a lot of art, an poetry, and I guess I took my first influences of rap from Common and Tupac. Aswell while i'm doing music i'm up in Georgia studying film an video tryin to tear up every field out there. So basically I've been rapping for about 4 to 5 years now, and many of the beats I use come from my dawg, DJ Phantom (Ryan Lawrence), that has been working with me since I started rapping - he also does alot of his own indie rock so yall check em out, an from the sick cats at Carmel Labs. Mainly I follow few rules when it comes to rapping, I write what I know, and only stay to whats true in that sense . So if anything much love for viewing the page, and yo leave a comment and let me know what yall think... P.S. I also update tracks not on here to purevolume, so if yah like to here more check: http://www.purevolume.com/theimperialist
