2Rare

2rare knows how to make an impact. The Philadelphia native has only been rapping for a few years but in that short time, his anthemic songs and playful videos have earned him a loyal fan base at home and beyond. Still, the 20-year-old isn't just an overnight success story. He's put in the time and done his homework, developing a distinct sound that's firmly planted in the street while also capturing the youthful joy and endless potential that have seen him become his city's newest young champion. When he started missing school, and his high school football career went sideways, he began dedicating himself to the studio instead, hoping to make music that tapped into his natural charisma and sense of humor, channeling the energy of the Martin Lawrence, Kevin Hart, and Wayans brothers' comedy specials he watched growing up. One of the results of his new focus, “Big Bag,” is a feel-good anthem about elevating out of dire circumstances. This exuberance, and his knack for catchy hooks, have propelled 2rare, setting him on the path to his current ascent. 2rare released his label debut “Big Drippa” on March 28, 2020. Peaking at No. 15 on the SoundCloud Top 50 chart and amassing over 2M plays on Spotify to date, the rapper is proud of the work he has done but assures this is just the beginning. "I have this hustle mentality right now," he says. “I ain't trying to slow myself down at all." Since then, he has released singles, 'Back It Up', 'Sri Lanka' and 'Oochie Coochie'.
