ABOUT ARMANI WHITE:
\nProfound, yet buoyantly energetic,\u00a0Armani White\u00a0wants to trademark happy hood music. Pairing dexterous flows with dense introspection and spurts of impassioned melodies, the 26-year-old delivers a colorful, but poignant soundtrack for survivors.\u00a0 On the freewheeling\u00a0\u201cBillie Eilish,\u201d\u00a0he lets loose, fusing zany wordplay with machismo he earned from his upbringing in West Philadel-phia, where he soaked up the sounds of\u00a0Ludacris, State Property\u00a0and\u00a0Eminem. The fledgling young MC, who grew up in a troubled home and found healing in beats and bars, took to spitting lyrics from his favorite rappers when he played outside with friends. At age 11,\u00a0Armani\u00a0and a friend began using trial versions of Mixcraft to compose their first tracks.\u00a0 After winning both Class Clown and Most Likely to Be Heard a Mile Away in his high school yearbook, the idea of a rap career quickly crystallized. \u201cStick Up\u201d (2015) was a pulsing boom bap single coated in braggadocio and comical flashes of danger. The video netted tens of thousands of views, and\u00a0Pharrell\u00a0even played one of\u00a0Armani\u2019s songs on his Beats 1 Radio show. But the back-to-back tragedies of his father\u2019s death of cancer, and his uncle\u2019s killing put his musical plans on hold for a couple of years.\u00a0 He re-emerged with the lighthearted but existential \u201cPublic School\u201d (2018), and\u00a0Keep in Touch\u00a0(2019), a project that reaffirmed his all-around songwriting abilities. Soon\u00a0Armani\u00a0was hitting the stage for shows with\u00a0Vince Staples, Nas, James Blake and Amin\u00e9, to name a few.\u00a0 Armani\u2019s next EP,\u00a0Things We Lost In The Fire\u00a0(fall 2021) addresses personal tragedy with unflinching transparency. It was the prelude to \u201cBillie Eilish\u201d in the new year, and the deal with Def Jam in the bargain. \u201cThe reason why I call my songs happy hood music is because I went through a lot of trauma and pain,\u201d\u00a0Armani\u00a0says, \u201cand I take that dark, murky color, throw it at the wall and watch a rainbow come out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
