About this app

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. Originally rapping as a hobby and for therapeutic purposes, he had no idea this talent would change his life. Filthy signed to RC Music Management as it’s first artist, but this business arrangement was extremely short lived. He began the writing and recording his 1st studio album at age 17 but the project was never released due to uncleared Samples.

After being banned from public school his Junior year of high school, and consequently shunned by some of his family, he began to neglect his new found music career saying he ‘felt forced’ to rely on street money and his gang affiliations to survive. He did so successfully and remained allusive for years before ultimately taking the fall for a friend with a prior record. Though he was charged with several felonies and took a plea bargain to only receive one, the nerve wrecking experience itself was an eye opener for him. ‘It could have went a lot worse’ he says, ‘I’ve got homies in there [prison] right now, doing a dime [10 years] or better’ he elaborates. Though he admits it took a few more years and more charges, this felon finally turned his sole focus to music, a trade he mastered. Though the passion never left, the pay offs were bleak.

In 2012, Filthy would link up with former manager Nick ‘NJB’ Bridges, from RC Management, in what was agreed to be their ‘Last Shot’ before they both moved on and pursued other options in life. Soon after, he began working on what became his 1st album Trillmatic, which he finished and released in mid 2013 (available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Google Play, Muve Music, Rdio, Spotify & more), and seemed to supply the spark they needed.

Being a product of the ‘golden era’ of Rap & Hip Hop, it should be no surprise that Filthy insists upon maintaining a high level of lyricism, despite the stereotypes of his southern roots. Considered a dirty south lyricist, his hypnotic flow and mesmerizing beat production are sure to please. He’s created his own lane, or revitalized one, by refusing to be one demential and maintaining his diversity. At a quick listen, he may sound like a ‘trap rapper’ but the punchlines and word play are there. ‘A convict with a conscience’ he deemed himself. ‘I make music for radio and food for thought’ he elaborates, ‘Since I don’t have a facade to keep up, I can make music that reflects all of my different moods, not just a select few’.

Throughout his journey, he has opened for national recording artists Yo Gotti, Project Pat, Hell Rell, THE Eastside Boyz, D.Woods and more, performed at college homecomings, Charity events, Youth Benefits, as well as on Television and both FM & Internet Radio.
