e.n.t

Band Members:
Close your eyes, if you will, and imagine Tupac’s fire, Jay-Z’s wit, BIG’ s charisma, and Nas’ insight in one MC! Hard to conceive, huh? We’ll imagine no more. Introducing 25-year-old rap marvel, e.n.t. This young man is something special. He has a gift that can take the rap game to a plateau it has never encountered. Are you ready? e.n.t.’s life had humble beginnings in West Baltimore. His mother, Alberta Ballard, up until the age of six, raised him when she passed away. After a yearlong custody battle between his maternal grandmother and his father, John Brown, who was given legal custody of him, e.n.t. moved into what some would call a “whole new world”. The “new world”, known as North and Pulaski, was infamous for criminal activity. His father fought hard to keep him away from the social ills that plagued the community, but as e.n.t. grew older he too was infected by them. He began with small mischief’s, such as shoplifting and stealing. These minor infractions snowballed into drug dealing, physical violence and handguns. Though he knew these things were wrong, they were a part of his everyday environment. He was just its product and hip-hop was his way of leaving the harsh reality of it. His music reflects these aspects of life. He speaks convincingly about drugs, poverty and everything that relates to ghetto life. This may sound like what everyone else is spittin’, but even twins have distinct differences. e.n.t.’s spin on the effects of urban turmoil is not glorification, but more or less awareness and solution. Blessed more times than numbers can measure, from finishing high school to having a natural ability to rhyme, e.n.t, feels that it is his spiritual and social obligation to give back. He desires to do more than kick a tight rhyme, merely scratching the surface. He intends to be the orator of profound narratives that seep deep into the heart and pierce the soul. e.n.t. takes his game one step further by fusing biblical themes and Christian philosophy with 21st century setting and inner city drama, to create a form of “ghetto theology”. In a music genre that is typically more focused on style than substance, e.n.t. is a fresh, new voice that will provide a famished game with the nourishment that it’s been starving for. He, having been touched by GOD, intends to touch the world.
