3. Gravity is a rapper based out of New York.
On a day in July that only his Mom remembers, Gravity first dropped to Earth in Suffolk County, Long Island. One of the hungriest new artists on the mic and behind the boards, Gravity got his start scraping for crumbs as one the hungriest little kids in Bay Shore, New York. Half Colombian, half Italian, Gravity was born into a broken family and raised, hand to mouth, by his struggling Mother. On visits with his Father, young Gravity would sit, legs swinging, in the passenger seat of his Dad’s beat-up Buick. Dad would school Gravity in hip-hop while KRS-ONE banged out of the car’s cheap speakers.
It wasn’t long until Gravity started rhyming out loud at age eleven. He showed up anywhere that would take him; Talent shows, records stores, even sneaking into a High School dance where upperclassmen encouraged the kid to perform live, on stage. Gravity adopted his moniker at age twelve, when he started the group ‘Holdin’ It Down’ with friends.
By age thirteen, with his mic skills sharpened, Gravity started skipping school, focusing all of his attention on mixing and producing hip-hop. In the basement of his Mom’s house, Grav went to work everyday, layering sounds, recording on eight track cassette recorders creating polished new songs.
A born lyricist and self-anointed producer, Gravity landed upon his greatest blessing while singing his very first chorus. With a crisp, clean singing voice that was made to sing hooks, Gravity quickly started collecting checks from people willing to pay to have him on their chorus. With the money, he bought his first computer and before it was even out of the box, Gravity was selling music online. At age fourteen, Gravity was getting as many as 500 downloads a day.
