Filthy Finesse

Filthy Finesse is a rap artist, with strong lyrical capability, born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. Originally rapping as a hobby, he had no idea this talent would change his life. Filthy signed to RC Music Management as its first artist, but this business arrangement was extremely short lived.

After being banned from public school his Junior year of High School, and consequencly shunned by his family, he neglected his new found music career saying he 'felt forced' to rely on street money and his gang affiliations to survive. He did so successfully and remained allucive for years before ultimatly taking the fall for a friend with a prior record. Though he was charged with several felonies and took a plea bargain to only recieve one, the nerve wrecking experience itself was an eye opener for him. 'It could have went a lot worse' he says, 'I've got homies in there [prison] right now, doing a dime [10 years] or better' he elaborates. Though he admitts it took a few more years and more charges, this felon finally turned his sole focus to music, a trade he mastered.

In 2012, Filthy would link up with former manager Nick 'NJB' Bridges, from RC Management, in what was agreed to be their 'Last Shot' before they both moved on and persued other options in life. Soon after, he began working on his 1st album Trillmatic, which he finished and released in mid 2013 (available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Google Play, Muve Music, Rdio, Spotify & more), which seemed to supply the spark they needed.

Trillmatic became a complete story of his life and times, which is a must hear. Hailed as a modern day classic, the album propelled his career to the next level. The tracks on the album range from high energy street anthems and club bangers to panty wetting R&B collabs and soul touching tear jerkers. In only 10 songs, Filthy dictates your emotions, taking you from one end of the spectrum to the other, while telling his actual life story, but in an entertaining manner. 'Its my "audio-biography"' he explains. He is a felon turned rapper, who gets it in, and has the record(s) to prove it.
