Believe

Believe (collaborator of Madlib, Diamond D, Hieroglyphics) Believe is an international touring emcee whose career is defined by elite lyrical pedigree and a high-voltage live show. He started making mixtapes in his bedroom at the age of 15 and was signed as a rapper fresh out of high school by legendary record executive and hip-hop pioneer Sylvia Robinson. Her label, Sugar Hill Records, was the first major label for hip-hop. After releasing two critically acclaimed solo projects, he founded the multi-genre band “Grand Prize Winners From Last Year.” As one of Atlanta’s premier hip-hop ensembles, they performed with chart-toppers including The Roots, Kid Cudi, Three 6 Mafia, De La Soul, Diplo, St. Vincent, and Danny Brown. They went on to be featured in major publications The Fader and Rolling Stone, where J. Edward Keyes wrote: “Think full-band Outkast: These fellow ATLiens blend Dre and Big Boi’s knack for nimble rhymes with weirdo spaced-out funk horns and rock, making snarling songs that swivel and pounce.” Shortly after, Converse took notice and selected them as winners of their Rubber Tracks sponsorship. Outside of releasing his own music, he has worked on projects with numerous artists, including Rick Ross, Too Short, T.I., Diamond D, Madlib, Westside Gunn, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Daz Dillinger, Zaytoven, Stacy Epps, NoCap, Quando Rondo, KRS-One, Slim Thug, Warren G, Fat Joe, and Spice. He's appeared on television in BET’s The Bobby Brown Story, Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta, and American Soul and has built a global resume that includes tours across Europe and Asia alongside legendary producer Diamond D (D.I.T.C.). Stateside, Believe has shared stages with the titans of the genre, including Madlib, The Roots, Rakim, Mos Def (Yasiin Bey), De La Soul, Kid Cudi, and Wale. He has releases slated this year that feature Rick Ross, Casual of Hieroglyphics, Planet Asia, Diamond D, Benny The Butcher and Mickey Factz
