Castro’s music is influenced by nothing more and nothing less than his life, From being an immigrant in the U.S to Violence and drinking in his household. Castro takes everything that has happened in his lifetime and applies it in his lyrics. Castro started to rap along with his peers at the age of 16.

After quite some time Castro decided to take the music a little more serious and invested in original beats, music videos and features such as Kap G for his projects.

The song “My work” ft Kap G gained the attention from many people and there is now a “My work pt.2” with Snow tha Product as well.
