Narcotic

Born Alexander Santiago (Narcotic) began his music career as a rapper, pushing his limits for years with only success in mind. Throughout the earlier stages of his developement process, Narcotic wrote/recorded a plethera of unreleased mixtape music, in an attempt to create a steady local buzz. Using nothing more than a cheap RadioShack brand mic, and Cool Edit Pro, Narcotic was developing not only his writing and delivery talent but also his raw skills as an engineer. Editing, mixing and arranging his own vocals instilled a certain unique recording style, that he knew would do much more for him as an Artist. As a Chicago born & raised, but Eastcoast influenced artist, it seemed difficult to define Narcotic's musical style. The ability to adapt to the different sounds each region had to offer, made it easy for Narcotic to build a catalog. While the beat may have been used numerously , there was always a "certain" tone and diction he brought to it that set Narcotic apart from the rest. In 2008, Narcotic Along with His lable Mate (Anonymous) Released Their official first mixtape Entitled "Generation Nex" A mixtape composed with both Rugged and raw hiphop & r&b material. In 2009, Narcotic set out to take his music career in a different direction by working on his first solo mixtape entitled "Bump this in yo ipod" which also has talent from different artist from different states such as "Stomp The Yard" artist Juice (San Diego based hiphop & r&b artist.) Narcotic will plan to release his mixtape in January 2010.
