Curtiss Baker for Hip Hop Restoration

My campaign is to RESTORE HIP-HOP!!!

About Me

I get my Free MySpace Layouts at LayoutStreet.comMusic is a major part of my life and has always been a part of my life growing up in East Point. My family has always been into music so I didn't have a choice. All genres were listened to in our household. Also in the homes of just about everyone I visited, like family and friends. So in my music I take a little bit of what everyone has to offer and make the music or lyrics. Growing up in a family of intellects and individuals that want so much more for themselves and the family as a whole I can only be that way myself. Always influenced to read and to be outside of the box for which most of the world is in, I always looked at the world differently and everything that goes on in it. Listening to Outkast for most of my life growing up I have to say that they are one of my main influences to make me want to be in the music industry. Dre is a major influence on my artistic flow, with the usage of words that no person would expect for you to say and metaphors that are not often thought about. Studying lyrics of many artists hands on have helped me to be the artist that I am today. Not only rap artists but novelists and playwriters. Dating back to the Renaissance and even before then. Up to the Harlem Renaissance and today. It gives me more subjects to touch as a writer and producer. Being from East Point and experiencing many different things in that city has taught me a lot. I see the struggles just like anybody in an urban town. I tell myself that I must have more, because there is so much more to have. You have to want to go and get it though. That is what this young man does on a daily basis (get more out of life). With ambition to the top of the music game and the whole entertainment industry I will not fail.

Sounds Like: Vintage East Point and Southwest Atlanta music with my own unique sound. Sounds like a major label needs to be trying to sign Curtiss Baker as an artist and producer. Get hip to my name and game like hop shawty. It sounds like some people have lost their ear for music, or maybe they are just washed of their brain. I don't know... do you?
Record Label: Unsigned
Type of Label: None
