About Me

My goal as a musician is not to make something strange to the ears or to be completely foreign to a person who has never heard me. How I perform my music is how I am in life. I am inviting and familiar but also very deep in how I use my words. I have many tracks that reflect the bravado and swagger that can only be seen in the streets and I have taken that to another step by infusing insight and relevance into these songs.True art is born of suffering and I have experience with both coming from a poor background in south Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The hard edge in my rap is all from the experiences I had being in the hood and still having the oldest clothes and the dirtiest shoes. Sleeping on shower curtains when there were no beds and sheets, eating off of cardboard boxes when there was no furniture, or not eating at all when there was no food. My rap is my life. And this is going back to Ned Avenue apartment B, off of Gardere Lane. The neighborhood that inspired my first ryhmes and was the backdrop for many of my struggles. Music is a very powerful thing. I understand this better than most because it has changed my life and become an invaluable part of me. My music has the flow and swag of a mainstream artist but the depth and wordplay of an underground king. With a mix of these elements and continuing relevance I know my music can reach and penetrate areas most rappers struggle whole careers to get into. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy the music!
