KINGPIN X
Kingpin X is an artist that has a sound like no other. He derives his musical Influences from artists like Kendrick Lamar, Rakim, Wale and many others. Kingpin X's name comes from him believing and knowing that every person was born into royalty and he expresses it through his stage name. He makes music because he has a love and a passion that no one can match. X had a brother that passed away years ago and he loved rap music so after he passed away Kingpin wanted to make music that his brother could listen to. His lyrics are powerful and clean. You would think that with the aggressive tone that he projects that there is bound to be a curse word flying around somewhere in his songs, but negative. Kingpin X's songs are all clean!!!
Kingpin plays drums in a band and at his local church and even produces his own tracks including other hungry artists in the Tacoma area. He is also a recording engineer and has faith that one day he will own his own recording studio and record label. Kingpin X started producing when he realized that he could do well with his talents. Coming from a poverty stricken household. He says it was hard for him to acquire the supplies and tools needed to produce music.
