Born in the urban area of New Jersey, RETROI$AWESOME had to work vigorously and think ahead so he could turn his dreams into a reality. In turn, RETROI$AWESOME found much success and decided to pass along his expertise through music. Elaborating, he says, “My message is always changing. It went from broadcasting my flyness to speaking about what’s going on in the hood every day. Sure, I mixed those two now. But as I get older, I become more conscious.” The last piece of his moniker, AWESOME, stands as an acronym: As We Experience Situations Our Minds Expand. “RETRO” comes from his admiration for the 90’s/2000’s musical styling. Some of his influences include Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Three6Mafia, Dipset, and Mike Jones. Flipping through Retro’s discography, one thing becomes certain; he’s got the rap game on lock. The themes in his music delve into the keys to being confident, his personal experiences, and staying true to yourself.
