Local Artist Spotlight: S-CLASS





Ever since the day S-Class was born, he was destined for stardom!!! He was born to be different, out of the ordinary, a leader and not a follower. S-Class was born January 15, 1984 in Washington, D.C. He was raised in Southeast D.C. and Oxon Hill, MD, but grew up in many different areas on the East Coast which gave him a broader aspect of the world. Growing up between D.C., MD, NY, & NC he gathered a lot of knowledge between the different varieties and cultures. Coming from a musically inclined father, it was only right to follow in his footsteps. While growing up watching his cousin Collosus of the group formely known as the M.U.D.K.I.D.S. he knew he wanted to be a rapper. He also saw and learned the trial and tribulations of the music industry from his cousin Collosus. Between the ages of 13-18, he would write poetry, rhymes, freestyle, and battle from time to time. It wasn't until the year 2003 where he would start taking his craft seriousely after battling on a corner in D.C. and hearing the praise from his peers and the crowd as well. By listening to his musical influences such as Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Biggie, Andre 3000, and his cousin Collosus he was determined to achieve greatness in the music industry. With today's state of the Hip-Hop World and Community being full of posers and followers, this leader in his own mind is out to change the state of hip-hop. Although he's never dropped a mixtape, he has the dedication, determination, and motivation to carry the DMV on his back and put Hip-Hop back on top where it needs to be.
