Garcia

Cuban-American rapper Garcia is grindin' to join the superstar ranks of fellow Miami rappers Rick Ross and Pitbull. But instead of rapping about pushing weight or singing over club jams, Garcia is banking on introspective tales about his personal struggles, much like multi-platinum superstar Eminem.

The self-proclaimed "underground king" of Miami, Garcia pressed his first 12” vinyl at age 16, building a steady buzz in the Sunshine state with his 2004 debut, Antisocial. By the time his second album, Life Unscripted, was released in 2007, Garcia was working with heavy hitters like N.O.R.E. and Bun B of UGK. Life Unscripted features I Am, a strident ode to his heritage and Ahora, a gritty party jam featuring collaborations with Heckler and Sofia Kingz.

Garcia is currently back in the studio working on his third album and he says he's ready to reap the rewards: "I've lived every dream in my life. I've done it. So from here on out, it's business."
