Artist Bio
San Antonio, TX native, 2 Five Da Raptor, has been active in the underground music scene for 6 years. With his melodic, eloquent lyrical delivery, he spits non-stop bars that gravitate to the soul.
His name, “2 Five Da Raptor”, was inspired by his father. He always wanted to be a raptor growing up as a kid, and he would call his father "2 Four", in reference to a 2x4 board from his many back surgeries. He was up next in line as the man of the family, so he called himself "2 Five", derived from his late father’s nickname.
Growing up he would rap for fun, once freestyling to a 17-minute WuTang instrumental in his garage. In 2019, he started taking music more seriously, realizing that people liked his sound. He started making songs, then later began rapping out of necessity as a coping mechanism after experiencing some losses in his family, and it became a big part of his life expression wise. Through music, he was able to best express himself, and he refers to this as his "happy accident".
With a massive catalog of over 400 unreleased songs, he is a lyrical genius waiting to be unleashed to his full potential.
2 Five also owns his own production company, Third Class Productions.
His top musical inspiration is the late Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. "The Notorious B.I.G.". Other musical influences include The Pharcyde and other underground artists.
