A talented male headed straight towards stardom, in it to put his hometown on the map and be an inspiration to the younger generation. His skill proceeds beyond words, and the way his thoughts and words flow together is like no other.

His words intertwine with the beats like a fine wine that makes you sit back listen to the message that he is sending. A lot of rappers nowadays talk what they don't know, on the contrary, Snub grew up living a hard life and running the streets was an everyday thing for him. The life that the majority of teenage males live today; hustling to make a days pay. Growing up on the streets of Boston was not easy for Snub as you can imagine. He was constantly in trouble with the law, surrounded by drugs, guns and death. But for the level-headed person that he is, he has looked to his music for a personal outlet too keep his dreams alive about where he wanted to be in the future. Since the age of nine, Snub has been working on his music and hasn't stop since. When he was younger he would write rhymes, record them on his karaoke machine, and mix tapes with his older cousin Trife. Now as he has gotten older Snub stays in the studio, rapping, mastering his lyrical skills and practicing beat making. Although his strengths do not lie in making beats his message is for you the listener to understand him. Snub tries not to let the street life hold him back from his music
