Stylo is the name and I got
it from the Spanish word "estilo" mixed with the English word
"style." I’m a 19 year old Mexicano from South Omaha,
Nebraska. Yeah, I said Nebraska. Not the biggest Hip-Hop place
but I’m making sure it becomes something big. I don’t portray
the normal "Chicano rapper" nor do I enjoy that label to be
put on me. I’m an emcee to the fullest and nothing else. I
look at myself as a spokesman for the average hood cat in the
Midwest. Since the age of twelve I’ve been in love with
Hip-Hop. Being into writing; emceeing kind of fell into place.
It started off as me and my younger cousin doing it. He
stopped and I didn’t. I felt I had a talent in this and things
moved on from there.
I started writing and freestyling everywhere I went. I became
known around my part of the city as one of the best Mexican
rappers around. I hooked up with Edgar De Leon, a guy I knew
from around my way who was into helping young cats like
myself, and had him listen to one of my songs that I did. At
that time he was just getting Vive Grande Entertainment
started, after seeing we had similar ambition and desire to
make big things happen in our city, we decided to go into
business together, with him being my Manager and I became the
company's first Artist. As soon as we got started we hit the
ground running, working for months non-stop, from there came
the mixtap, "Mic Killas" and then eventually my first album,
"Call it What You Want." Currently I’m the only Latino rapper
in my city getting the most recognition and soon many more
will. It’s the feeling that you can do something that can
affect people that got me addicted to this culture. In this
world full of letdowns the only thing that kept me going with
my music was the motivation from my peoples that always
believed in me and especially the inspiration that I’ve gotten
by my girl. It might sound cheesy to some but she’s the only
thing that keeps the fire for me to succeed burning.
I’m here to break the stereotype of a Mexican rapper and I
can’t stress it enough. They see us and automatically see a
certain type of rapper. I rap what I feel and say it the way I
talk. I don’t sugar-coat things and usually it gets me in
trouble. I’m a realist. Since I’m from the middle of the map
I’m influenced by everyone in the game. So to label my style
is the job that is left for the listeners. Listen to something
new for a change.
