About Me

A "Drect" hit on the industry and the world is a giant bullseye...If you ask (thayoungboi)Drect when he started rapping, he'll say since he was born. But if you ask him when he started making music, he'll tell you just recently. There comes a time in everyone's music career when they are somewhat "enlightened" and they go from guns to loving the world. This is not the case with 19 year-old "Drect" from Boston, MA. In his words, "My goal is to achieve success on a commercial level while appealing to everyone - my favorite genre of music is hip-hop/underground, but a lot of emcees forget that rapping is a job, not just a hobby; we have to eat. So whether the Franchise Boys drop "Lean wit it" or DangerDoom drops "The Mouse and the Mask" i applaud both efforts. This is why you might catch me making a song like Papoose one day, then switching my style and doing a Crunk song the next day - its all about what i feel when I walk into the studio. I feel this is an important asset that a lot of "new" emcees have to have walking into an industry full of fakes, lames, and a few people that will point you in the right direction." ... Smart, saavy, and talented Drect is ready to showcase his skills to the world. but the one thing people don't realize is that Drect has one thing a lot of artists lack, an uncanny and unparalleled ability to freestyle with some of the best artists in the industry. Anyone who has heard this man is amazed by the way someone can speak metaphorically and intellegenty so fast. He seems to be the perfect bulid for a battle rapper. Even though Drect can come off the top, he doesn't want this to ultimately be his downfall; we have seen too many artists shine on batttles and mixtapes and have an album seriously flop. But any invitations to a battle will not be turned down..."Im not cocky, just confident (Drect.)" Drect is also determined to put Boston on the map, because he feels that this state has a whole lot of talented artists who lack exposure, and feel they have been mis-represented in the past (*cough *cough no names.) In conclusion, keep an eye on this emcee ... (Drect) "One last thing - did I forget to mention I make beats? Besides the freestyles, all the songs (unless otherwise stated) on this website are produced by yours truly (me.) Im am trying to put in a lot of hard work and effort to becoming a producer, songwriter, emcee, and businessman, so all feedback and support is appreciated." Everyone feel free to hit me up- I always want to network and meet new people to collaborate with. ~ Kool Aid MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
