THE ARTIST
BAY AREA ROOTS.
SAN DIEGO
MADE.
Bakes raps like the craft still decides everything, because for him it does. A lyrical hip-hop artist out of San Diego by way of the East Bay, he writes intricate, message-driven records built on vocabulary, rhythm, and something to say. Everything with his name on it is independent, and the vision behind it is bigger than any one record: keeping lyrical rap alive and bridging the old school and the new.
The recognition followed. Divine Timing charted #3 on VEVO's Incoming Hip-Hop playlist, GQ pulled Effortless for its “10 Songs to Sweat To,” and The Source and HipHopWeekly both told the story of the come-up. On stage he has opened for the likes of Mobb Deep, Redman and Method Man, Too Short, Twista, ASAP Ferg, and Currensy.
From college apartment sessions to a catalog that stands on its own, the sound has grown and the standard has not moved: music for people building something real, without shortcuts.
