Real Name: Pavlyn Yankov
Age: 14
Hometown: New York City, New York
History:
I was born in Japan, but raised in New York City. Half Bulgarian and Japanese
I was pretty much raised on classical music but around the age of 10 I
started getting into rap. At that age I listened to and influenced a lot by
artists such as the Fugees, Naughty by Nature, Biggie, etc. At the age of 11
I began to be heavily interested in the Wu-Tang and groups such as Mobb Deep.
Until the age of 13 I was still deeply interested in those groups but around
the time I turned 13, I began to slightly turn away from such groups. I began
to be heavily into groups and artists such as Likwit Crew, The Roots, Common,
Blackstar, Gangstarr, Shabazz, Gravediggaz, Brand Nubian, Co-FLow, Kool
Keith, Jeru, Afu-Ra, etc. etc. Right about now I'm interested in the indie
scene, such as : Jedi Mind Tricks, Clokworx, Swollen Members, Braille,
Atmosphere, etc. Over the years I've become a lot more interested in hiphop
and my devotion to it has also grown steadily. I started rhymying (written
lyrics) at about 13, and my style has slightly changed since then. I have a
pretty big archive of rhymes, and it's continuously growing. Hmm.. another
major thing about hiphop, if it wasn't for online hiphop, I probably wouldn't
be interested in over half of the artists or groups that i listen to now. Big
thanks to the websites that I've continuously visited for getting me into
this and keep prospering.
Shoutouts:
Yeah, alright, shoutouts to the people i know/chill with, big shoutouts to
all the determined hiphop-loving internet heads that keep their sites going,
also shoutouts to all the new, independant artists with SKILLS that are
trying to prove themselves.
