No matter what is being supplied, a hustler is only as good as his word. With South Carolina serving up some of the hottest product in the rap game, native son Lil Enj stands as one of the most exciting merchants of cool to emerge in years. Thanks to underground testimonials like “We Are Hungry” and “The PA50,” EnJ's street swagger and authentic style has quickly made believers out of some the biggest players in the game, from Fabulous to E.40. In his native South Carolina, and throughout the south, Lil ENJ has created nothing short of a movement. Like many hustlers on the mic, rapping wasn’t in ENJ's original game plan. As CEO of Top Flight Production, ENJ was content to stack his paper from the background. “Basically, I’m a real nigga so I can relate more to a lot of Niggas,” ENJ says of his appeal. “ I don’t just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain’t got no sense of direction. I’m trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street.” What sets Lil ENJ'’s music apart is his ability to bring color and flash to a story that has been told so many times before. He’s a true digital age artist who doesn’t need 16 bars to develop a picture in your head. When he snaps off a verse the image is simple enough for everyone to feel it instantly.
