2022 opened a lot of doors for me in both the battle rap circuit and music scene in Colorado. December 24, 2021 I dropped my third official studio project “Underdawg Season” which blew up! I was given a-lot of notoriety for my singles such as V.I.P, Eleven, and Fold.
I started this year off by being a part of a show called “The Knock 303 House Party” ran by Kelsey Sullivan. Myself and eight other rappers did a Cypher, setting the new year on fire! This set the tone with Raw Bars that demanded respect on both the battlerap scene and the music side of things.
My single V.I.P was able to get in rotation by a handful of stations such as Denver media, 104.7 The Drop and more! After doing interviews about the Knock303 event. I was able to reach a larger audience. I was hired to perform at a wedding out of the country in San Pedro Belize. Music kept expanding for me.
I took on about 4 battles between June and November, which led me to doing live auditions for a TV reality show with Wild ‘N Out star Hitman Holla. I lived in a house with 19 rappers, becoming one of the finalists in a cash prize competition. (Now airing on CoastalReginTV.Muvi.Com, Samsung TV, Apple Tv, IOS Devices and more! As impactful as 2022 was for my career, I look forward to seeing with 2023 has to offer.
