| All Houston rappers dont rap the same. Thats what you will usually here come from Houston based raper Endowhen asked what separates him from the other rappers that you here in Houston. :I have multiple styles. Being versatile is something Ive always been able o do, A lot of Houston rappers dont have that ability. And if they do, they dont showcase it, where as I try to every chance I get. Born Reginald Keith Williams on June 5th, 1980 in Ponchatula Hammond, Louisiana, but being raised in Houston all his life, Endo became infatuated with music after hearing Eric B and Rakims Microphone Fiend. Other influences include Houstons legendary Scare face, Tupac, DMX, Biggie, Jay Z, and Juvenile. As a youth in his early teens, Endo hung around Rap A Lot and was able to study the game under Scarface who decided to take him under his wing at the age of fifteen..Having the opportunity to write for acts such a s the Fifth Ward Boys, Willie D, Bushwick Bill, Scarface, along with various Rap A Lot artists helped to perfect his craft even more. He even worked with Destinys Child before they became Destinys Child. Opening up for K-Ci and Jo Jo was an opportunity he was able to experience as well. At the age of sixteen, Endo chose to make moves with a local independent label by the name of D.A.L Records which enabled him to experience the business side of the industry as well.. It was under D.A.L. Records that he released his first album One World One Chance, which garnered the hit singles One World One Chance and Put Your Money Where your Mouth Is. With little promotion, the album would go on to sel close to Ten Thousand Units with BET airing commercials as well as interviews featuring Endo. Having the chance opportunity to meet Luke Austin, producer and band director for Destiny Child as well as Mary J. Blige, Endo is now in the process of finding a label home, winning a Grammy, and pursuing his rap career to the best of is ability. |
