Raised by Dominican-immigrant parents in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn's Sumner Projects complex, 26-year-old MC Radamiz's story is unlike a story told before. Being influenced to start rapping at the age of 12 outside of his first job packing groceries outside of a local supermarket, Jadakiss, Notorious B.I.G., Jay Z, Eminem helped shape the young MC's idea of what a great lyricist was supposed to sound like. In May 2018, Radamiz announced his signing to the relaunched Payday Records.
