Mir Fontane Is Up NeXt By DX

Former HipHopDX Features Editor Andre Grant said in his “Defense Of The Struggle Rapper” editorial, “Out of all the things the Hip Hop web has vilified, the “struggle rapper” might be the least deserving of all that ridicule.” Before Kendrick Lamar became big enough for Barack Obama to sing his praises or Drake found himself making deals with Apple, they were artists without a significantly large fanbase attempting what seemed like the impossible.

Camden NJ, Native Recently Dropped His Who’s Watching The Kids Mixtape

Inspiration For Career

“I wanted to be a voice in my community. I really wanted to be the guy that could inspire others to achieve goals outside the city of Camden. I was always into poetry, but when I began taking rap serious 5 years ago I realized it not only changed my life but the people around me. People are really connecting with my music and can relate to my lyrics.”
