Author: @StarterCAM Lil Keed came from humble beginnings just like so many of us. His parents although separated were still co-parenting, and he was consistently raised by both parents. With many siblings in the household and being the 2nd to the youngest sibling of 6 employed him to strive for greatness even at an early age.
College Park, Georgia-based rapper Gunna became interested in music and rapping as a hobby in his early teens, but got more serious about the possibility of a career in hip-hop around 2016, when he was introduced to Atlanta MC Young Thug by a mutual friend. The two developed a friendship, and before long Gunna was in the studio hopping on Young Thug ‘s track “Floyd Mayweather,” where he lent a verse alongside rap superstars Gucci Mane and Travis Scott . That feature was enough to jettison Gunna into relative fame, and he became affiliated with Young Thug ‘s YSL imprint. By late 2016 he’d released the Drip Season mixtape and followed it with Drip Season 2 in the summer of 2017 and toured the US with Playboi Carti. In the fall of 2017, he released a collab EP with producer Wheezy titled Drip or Drown which has had great streaming success and was followed up by a much anticipated Drip Season 3 which has gained a lot of traction.

Source: Hemi / HotSpotAtl.com Meet Hemi of Dead Play Entertainment Hemi is a recording artist from the Campbell Terrace Projects in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is the oldest of 4 children raised in a single parent household with his mother who was only 15 years old when she birthed him. His father was in prison most of his life and his brother, Hemi’s uncle, was killed in his front yard. His other uncle was sentenced to 49 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit which left Hemi the man of the house. Hemi eventually moved with his grandmother at the age of 13 but he and his brothers raised each other as there were no other male figures. Hemi’s musical gene stems from his uncle who used to rap and had a movement in their hometown. Hemi gained popularity after releasing singles from what would become his debut project, ‘Time A Tell’ in 2017 hosted by Florida legend, Bigga Rankin. The project has been described as a street classic full of raw emotion and lyrically aggressive. The title, ‘Time A Tell’ is inspired by the facts of life, time will tell everything. ‘Time A Tell’ is an ode to the streets of Fayetteville and features production from Cash Money A.P. and verses from local talent, Lil Ruga and Issac Perry. Each song contains stories about Hemi’s personal life and details keeping your head up during hard times. The lead single for the project is “Only The Real” and the official music video is nearing 20k views. Hemi hopes to relate to the everyday person who comes from the bottom and may have a similar story. Hemi and his label, Dead Play Ent are currently traveling throughout the United States spreading their brand and releasing new content and merchandise.
