Drew Hernandez was born on June 18 1991 in California where he grew also grew up as a child. The very first rap song that inspired him was “My Name Is” by the controversial yet very renowned Eminem. This song was Drews’ muse and helped spark his creativity in composing his own raps. He knew that this was his niche even as a child writing short rhymes. His influence, Eminem, has influenced him greatly and he is the reason for which Drew wants to pursue in a career similar to Eminem. He found that he could relate to Eminem with them both being “black” sheep in the rapping community by being of Caucasian descent. But this hurdle only fueled Drew to do more; he always found time to write rhymes in his composition book that he consequently named “rhyme book.” This however affected his education. Not only was he writing in his rhyme book in his free time, but also in class making it hard to pay attention. Though his parents were skeptical about his grandiose ideas, Drew never gave up his dreams. He shared some of his rhymes to his close friends and found that his friends supported and even enjoyed his writing. Most encouraged him to pursue his dream and that he did. Because he felt that school was only hindering his ultimate success in the industry of rap; he quickly got bored of it and dropped out. Soon after his resignation from school, he went on to continue his education through independent studies going to school for a few weeks. But this still did not satisfy him and he left school once again, luckily this time it was during summer. There were many other schools that he tried out, but not everybody is meant to go to school. He finally got some counseling from his teacher. His teacher told him there was a test he could take so that he could have some sort of credential that was equivalent to a high school diploma. He took this test and passed the English portion, but did not pass the math. Now he is just going to school still trying his best so he can continue his path into becoming a well-known rapper. There were also internal problems that he had to deal with. His depression that was caused by a former love made him go to a rehabilitation center. This rehab was not to help cope with drugs, but to help ease depression and anger. He met many people that he could relate to and found friendship in each of them. They helped him open his mind and be more accepting of everybody. He learned not to judge anybody and let them be who they are. During the course of time he has developed new interests in other rappers that also had great influence in him such as:D12 THE GAME 2PAC LUDCRIS BIGGIE SNOOP DOGG ICE CUBE DR.DRE EAZY-E (ALL OF NWA) NAS JAY-Z KRS-ONE AKON YOUNG JEEZY XZIBIT NATE DOGG WARREN G R. KELLY STYLES P KANYE WEST LIL JON T.I ICE T plus many others. All of these names have helped Drew be his best and opened his mind to knew types of rap and other cultures. In earlier times Drew had no interest in any other genre of music besides Rap, but he has found that other types of music, such as: Punk, Metal, Thrash, Country, Pop, etc.. are to his liking also. Now he has realized that he just loves music in general. He has recently gotten more active in listening to all types of music so that he can develop his own style, which he has found, but there are still a few kinks that he needs to work out. A great asset and help to him getting to where he wants to be is the website dopetracks.com. This website has helped him record his own music and helped expose him to the public. He wants to revolutionize the way people think of rap. Drew is tired of all the bull shit that the radio is feeding the public. He wants to bring back the old school rap and real hip-hop. He believes that most of the rappers of today are only interested in themselves, girls, cars, money.. And other material things that not only degrade women, but also puts a bad name to the rap industry. Drew is currently single and not really looking for any type of relationship with anybody at the time. But we will see what happens. Nothing is out of question. He loves his friends, his family, and all those that are real with him. His life is still unfolding and writing itself. It will be best to get to know him because he will do great things in life.(written by MAR & Drew)
