Born and raised here this emcee has been influenced from all different genres of music. From jazz, to r and b, rock, and classical, to rap. It wasn't until Rakim, Run DMC, and Public Enemy, that peaked the interest in this artist. After learning more of the Hip Hop culture and the background where it all began, Shrapnel started to notice all the four elements that created hip hop. B-boying, graffiti dj'ing, and his strong point emceeing. Since then has been rhyming for 11 plus years, and writing and recording for 4 plus years. Needless to say this artist loves music and plans to eat sleep and live it.
