DRASTIC

The City’s-proclaimed “Cleveland’s Hope” is certain that Hip-Hop has a spot for him. He has
seen it change into a multi-million dollar industry right before his eyes. Some of the same artists that he grew up listening to have become wealthy Hip Hop legends. DRASTIC has intentions of doing the same. His catch phrase is “Stop Playin Wit Em!!!!!!!! “ DRASTIC states, “I yell this out on record for all the people that are playing with Hip Hop music. I appreciate the culture and when I get on the MIC it’s not a game. Stating the phrase keeps me aware and on-point anytime I deliver on record. I take this music too serious to half-step it when I rep it”. At 6’4” with the ability to switch his flow from a fiery lyricist to a sophisticated Young Black Male, DRASTIC embodies Cleveland Hip-Hop. His deeper vocal tone is used as an instrument that blends in well on the track. By deciding to take the road less traveled he creates music that doesn’t always focus on negativity as the selling factor.

DRASTIC also manages to run his own imprint called "AWHIN Entertainment", which stands for All We Have Is Now. DRASTIC states, "People always ask me what kind of artist am I. I tell em I’m a "Young Black Male". What I’ve seen in life motivates my lyrics. I’m promoting my lifestyle and anyone who can relate will appreciate. I’ve done my homework, and I know that the people feel my message. I’m confident that with the right machine I can have a lasting effect on Hip-Hop. I’ve accomplished things on the underground scene and now I am prepared to take it to that next level”. Industry, are you prepared? If not, Stop Playin Wit Em!!!!!!!!
