Rap renegade Cheekz is a stand-up guy. He’s a good fella. He’s one of New England’s “Made Men.” He is a rapper, a boss, a business man and a father. His hardcore lyrics, powerful stories and masterful delivery, make Cheekz one of the most sought after emcees around. This magnetic rapper exudes confidence and has the skills to back it up. At times brilliant and at times daring, Cheekz is thoroughly engaging. “I’m working hard to show the world that New England has a lot of great independent talent and no one is going to hold us down or block our shine,” raves Cheekz.
The relentless rapper is building a worldwide movement. His style is a blend of reality rap and braggadocios lyricism. He kicks sharp rhymes over bass-heavy tracks while sharply telling dark stories about his life and his peers. His sound hearkens back to the days of hard body beats and grimy rhymes delivered with authenticity. There is an undercurrent of realness in his voice.
The Springfield, MA rhyme slinger has music running through his veins. Confident with a dope flow, Cheekz does everything in a colossal way. Over the past couple of years he has collaborated with a myriad of top artists on the Hip Hop circuit. He is currently riding high off of the momentum of his hot new single called “Grindin Hard” featuring 2Milly. The song is a certified banger and it’s receiving rave reviews from DJ’s across the nation. Take a listen here.
