You Ask Who I5 New York? New York I5 an 18 Year Old Rapper from the Poor Eastside of Niagara Falls, New York. Always Trying To Make Nothing Into Something. In January 2001 When New York’s Grandmother (R.I.P.) (Agnes Brinson) Past Away His Cousins Smack From UnXpected & D.M.S., Wilson From D.M.S. , Destiny, And Himself Wrote A Song And Sang It At There Grandmothers Home Going Service, A Few Months Later In June 2001, New York Remembered The Song Him And His Family Did And Then Began To Write A Song/Diss Toward Rapper 50 Cent About 50 Cent’s Song “ I RUN NEW YORK” So He Started Writing Lyrics And Walking To The Library And Other Places Rapping And Singing To Himself. Since 2001, Eastside Niagara Falls, New York’s Own New York Has Been Creating His Buzz and Has Established Himself as a Well Known Artist in Underground Rap.
"I'm not tryin' to impress anyone on how hard my struggle was, or how messed up the conditions were where I came from," says New York. "I feel like most of the people in my situation come from the same type of background, the same type of environment."
Hailed as "one of the realest niggas you will ever know," the Niagara Falls-based writer/ rapper has already established a phenomenal underground and street presence on the strength of his infamous mixtapes and live show. New York is a real life block hugger who happened to learn how to tell his story in rhyme. This is why the streets love him. And he reveals his revelations of earning stripes with the summer '07 release of his New York Ent. debut, "5hadytree Bangin."
Born in Niagara Falls, New York, a city famous for its Falls, Summer Black Fest, and inviting tourism, New York was raised on the not-so-sunny side of town. "It's a small town, but it's a town that reflects so much to me. You've got two separate sides you've got the serious side, then you've got the gutter side. I called it Pakistan because kids 11, 12 years old were running around with Ratchets and shit." Despite coming of age on the EAST SIDE, New York says he wouldn't change it for the world. "The only thing adversity does is reintroduce you to yourself."
New York first became involved in music because of his Father, Step-Mother & Grandmother. "He started pursuing music, and God saw his vision," explains New York. "It wasn't a dream of mine. It kind of happened accidentally. But at the same time, I'm a believer that nothing happens on accident."
Accidental or not, New York and his brother, Stretch, started New York Ent./ North & Ent. in the early 00's. The small label had ten artists and dropped a handful of independent albums, but not from New York. In fact, the now rapper refused to touch the mic in the beginning. It wasn't until I became frustrated trying to teach one of my artists a particular hook that New York grabbed the mic. "He never could get the hook down, so the next day I let my brother hear the hook, and I told myself to stay on there," recalls New York. The song, "Fukk Dese Klown Ass Niggazt," spread quickly through South Florida and fell into the lap of UnXspected-based powerhouse UnXspected. Impressed by New York' movement, the nationally distributed label made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
New York describes his major label debut, "THE INTRODUCTION OF 5HADYTREE," as "the most anticipated situation in the streets right now." And rightfully so. NEW YORK Quotes Plies: "Some wanna see me broke/Some wanna see me in the Feds/The haters hate you when you're living/Love you when you dead/He just a mad rapper/He ain't blew yet/The streets don't feel him/I ain't have to go through that."
"I ain't got real problems," says New York. "I've got the problems that come with being successful, but I ain't got real problems. There's some dude in the world that just got a life sentence today. That's a real problem. I make reality music. I don't make music that's out of touch. There's so much in the world that I can talk about that'll help people through their struggles." It's this key philosophy that differentiates Plies from other rappers.
In addition to "THE INTRODUCTION OF 5HADYTREE," New York wrote the somber, slow-moving song "All Da Real Homies" (not featured on the album) to specifically address those locked up in the prison system. Atop simple bass and snare and high-pitched piano chimes, he Quotes Again "Rapper PLIES" about how people tend to turn their backs when you have a 40-year prison sentence: "Nobody loves you when you got nothing to give/But when you got it, they love you when you're out here/They was my friends when they was out/And they are my friends now/Right now, they need me the most so I got to help them out."
"I like to win in life, but to me, every dude who's in the prison system vant do that," explains New York. "To me, that's not impressive." Plies has plans to embark on a nationwide Blood/African-American tour, in hopes of reaching out to those currently locked up who come from the streets.
"I never run out of shit to talk about. As long as I'm in these streets, I'll always have something to talk about."
