Bio:
The Self-proclaimed “Cleveland’s Hope” is certain that Hip-Hop has a spot for him. He has seen it change into a multi-million dollar industry right before his eyes. Some of the same artists that he grew up listening to have become wealthy hip hop legends. Now at 25 years old, Drastic has intentions of doing the same. His catch phrase is “Stop Playin Wit Em!!!!!!!! “ Drastic states, “ I yell this out on record for all the people that are playing with Hip Hop music. I appreciate the culture and when I get on the mic it’s not a game. Stating the phrase keeps me aware and on-point anytime I deliver lyrics on the beat. I love this music too much to half-step it when I rep it”.
At 6’4” with the ability to switch his flow from a fiery lyricist to a sophisticated Young Black Male, Drastic embodies Cleveland Hip-Hop. His deeper vocal tone is used as an instrument that blends in well on the track. By deciding to take the road less traveled Drastic creates music that doesn’t always focus on negativity as the selling factor. “ People always ask me what kind of artist am I. I tell em I’m a Young Black Male. What I’ve seen in life motivates my lyrics. I’m promoting my lifestyle and anyone who can relate will appreciate. I’ve done my homework, and I know that the people feel my message. I’m confident that with the right machine I can have a lasting affect on Hip-Hop. I’ve accomplished things on the underground scene and now I am prepared to take it to that next level”. Industry, are you prepared? If not, Stop Playin Wit Em!!!!!!!!
