Who is Drop?

July 18, 2022

Drop, a Dominican-American rapper born on the 8th of April 1985 hails from Providence, RI aged 37. A veteran in the underground rap game, he has 10 full length projects and a variety of singles. Just recently he released a remix to superstar hip-hop recording artist Fabolous’s “Breathe” which Drop intended for that to start a #breathechallege which is trending on youtube. His discography allows him to show off all sides of his talent. He can switch from smooth sing-rap to bouncy, melodic choruses to intense and hard-hitting bars so easily that you never know what to expect. With the work ethic Drop has, you know he’s continuously putting in the effort to level up his sound and experiment. His recent mix tape, ‘Like I Never Left’, has a blown-out, lo-fi vibe that suits his casually aggressive style throughout the project, also has features on there of LIL Digga and RariHundo who are members of his Swag Muzik Entertainment team while other projects, such as ‘April’s Very Own’, have a sleeker and more menacing feel. The one consistent thing throughout Drop’s discography is his unique style. From his slight accent to the characteristic energy he has, you’ll recognize his voice the second he starts his verse. While taking time off of music he was in his lab sort of cooking up a lot of new recipes. As well as focusing on himself he’s also trying to build his label mates up with him. Drop is the Founder of the Swag Muzik Entertainment Label who LIL DIGGA and RARIHUNDO are also a part of. In 2017 he signed a Distribution with Shared Success Global Entertaintainet/U.M.G. His Music can be found on all major music platforms.

In 2020 Drop did an interview for I heart radio on his single “Flexx” (featuring Lil Digga, and RariHundo). Drop is growing therealdrop brand also his Swag Muzik label with the help of his upcoming artists. Swag Muzik Entertainment was founded in 2008 by Drop and his associate DTS. Drop can be found on all socials by the handle @the_realdrop. Drop has performed at Miami live a few times. Drop has a lot of friends who are mainstream artists who have helped and guided him in the business. He recently just graduated from a Music Industry Essentials Program at NYU. Tiffany Gaines is a mentor for Drop, she is also his manager and who discovered his talent and signed him to the largest distribution in the world Shared Success Global Entertainment/UMG.

The Dominican-American Native not only has found success as a rapper, he actually began with production. As a young teen, he started as a DJ and found his passion for hip hop, and since then he’s been grinding to perfect his craft. The New England rap scene is mostly known for its lyrical precision and writing, and Drop has both of these aspects within his game too. Remixing popular tracks such as ‘The Box’, by Roddy Rich, he reinterprets tracks in his own unique style and drops his bars over the original beat – much like Joyner Lucas’s remixes of mainstream tracks, Drop’s fans are often incredibly enthusiastic to hear their favorite underground rapper hop on a popular beat and body a nationally acclaimed rapper. While his style isn’t for anyone, Drop has managed to build a high following for an underground artist and develop himself into a rising star figure within the scene.
