LATE NIGHT WITH JERRY ROYCE LIVE & KELLY HOLLAND - EP 817 N8 (artist, rapper, poet, songwriter and producer)

Late Night Radio with Jerry Royce Live!

N8 was born in Brooklyn, NY in October as an 80's baby. This artist, rapper, poet, songwriter and producer says he was creatively inspired by Bob Marley, Anita Baker, and a variety of other R & B artists, which explains why he is so versatile as an emcee. He first came on the scene as one third of the local DMV hip-hop trio, LPF (Liberated People's Foundation). After several small successes, like being the opening act for major recording artists like Talib Kweli,Raheem Devaughn and Wale,to name a few, his group was almost signed to a subsidiary of Def Jam Island Records, right before the group disbanded in 2006. N8 continued to find his place in music. His clever wordplay & delivery always surfaced with a positive message for all, & after committing all of his talents to his strong faith-life and love for GOD (or YAH as he calls Him), he became what many would call a "gospel" artist. When N8 is asked if he's a gospel artist, he often says "I don't label myself a gospel artist. I let other people do that since I don't agree with labels. I just make music about life as I see it. And it just so happens that my faith in Yeshua is remaking me in His own image, and I serve poeple by giving them me, as I am. Life, is the gospel"
