Fresh New Hip Hop from Antwon King

Born in Inglewood, CA and raised in Los Angeles, Antwon King was born to do music. His mother and father were both avid music lovers and always played music in the house. Soul and R&B tunes blasted from the stereo constantly which made his ear and appreciation for music grow. One day his baby sitter at the time put on a record that would change his life.The record was called "Eric B. Is President." He has been a hip hop fiend ever since.Seeing friends join gangs and go to jail for dealing drugs he decided to take another route.He began writing poetry in school to get the attention of the girls he had his eye on but soon those poems became hip hop songs. He cites Rakim, Nas and 2pac as his greatest influences as his style is a combination of everything and everyone that has inspired him.
