H8TRiDMusic

H8TRiD is a solo rapper with a rock attitude from Allentown, PA. Striving to avoid sounding like the repetitive rap music on the radio today he bases his tracks on true life experiences. Well-known groups such as Bloodhound Gang, Insane Clown Posse and Bone-Thugs N Harmony give him the inspiration he needs to create sometimes-funny, sometimes-deep, sometimes-hype but always real lyrics with creative samplers and fresh beats. H8TRiD is also known for his powerful performances, in 2005 he teamed up with an emcee known as “D-RaNGD” and formed a group called PeR-Verse. The rap duo Released an EP entitled "Just When You Thought It Was Safe." After selling close to 1,000 copies of the album in early 2006 members went separate ways.
