BIOGRAPHY
Background
I was born in Jersey City, NJ, and grew up majority of my life in Hudson County, NJ. For those not familiar, it is a region of northern Jersey that is west of Manhattan across the Hudson River. The block I grew up on was on the border of North Bergen, West New York and Union City. My neighborhood was 85% hispanic, and I was 20 minutes from the most diverse city in the world, so my upbringing was pretty unique. I started entering the world of music as an early teenager in highschool, both producing and rapping. I rapped in groups and collectives, until eventually venturing out on a solo career. Over the years, life threw its obstacles at me and there were periods of time where I would stop making music, but somehow I always found my way back to creating. I've perfected my skillset from over a decade of crafting my style, have more life experiences to draw from after overcoming adversity and hardship, and have calculated a more business-minded approach to my career, with plenty of original music, visuals, and merch on the way for the near future.
Inspiration
Life itself is my inspiration. The fact that I'm breathing and able to type this paragraph. The ups and downs. The rough times helped shaped my character, and makes the good times that much more enjoyable. My life goal was always to retire my fam since young. Musically though, I took alot of inspiration from 90s hiphop, or as some would call it the golden era. My respect for ill pen games and unfiltered grittiness came from the artists of that time. However, I'm not close minded and stood in tune with hiphop and its evolution through its half a century anniversary. I like all types of hiphop production depending on the mood. Being Puerto Rican, I also draw inspiration from other generes as well like salsa and reggae.
Mission
My goal is to leave my mark on the world of hip-hop and fashion with top quality at the forefront of everything I create. Whether it be raw emotion, clever wordplay and catchy melodies, or premium textures with dope designs, I want my work to be an extension of me: pure expression of my thoughts and life experiences combined. My ideal soundtrack and apparel.
