380 Reef: Elizabeth City State University
Hometown: Bronx, New York
80 Reef says he stumbled upon rapping surprisingly. 3 projects in now, 80 is taking the accident and running with it. His latest project “Fever” is everything you’d expect when you mix a New York flow with some thought provoking content, and some unusual dope beats. A rapper and upcoming film director, he even works to assist in putting together his own visuals. 80’s projects are heavily influence by his South Bronx upbringing; a place he deems the mecca of Hip Hop.
