A dream does not remain a dream for long when you wake up every day with the motivation to achieve it. Aspiring rapper Handles from the Eastern Shore, VA, brings new meanings to the word “hunger”; consistently displaying his drive to fulfill his appetite for artistic success. Flooding airwaves with a lyrically incising set of bars that you not only bob your head in unison to, but mentally commend him for his perpetual ambition. Similar to the soothing effect elevator music has on most individuals, Handles provides you with musical delights that can be played virtually anywhere, while many rappers in their adolescent 20’s struggle to locate the adjectives in their minds to express the emotions of their verses. Proving to listeners both young and old how set apart he is from the social stigma of rappers today. Such motivation to his intellect shines throughout his lyrics, and inspires nearly everyone to master the craft they are blessed with. After his 2013 mixtape release titled 'Done Thinking' hosted by DJ Suss-One, Handles was able to live and grow more musically over the years while perfecting his craft and building his fanbase. With his 2017 release of his new album '809060', along with his dedication to the culture helped gain recognition and cosign approvals on the road from many artists major and independent such as: Skyzoo, Talib Kweli, Rapsody, Grand Puba, MadSkillz, and Estelle to name a few. Handles has opened for artists: Rakim, Redman & Method Man, Beanie Sigel, Joe Budden, EPMD, Cassidy, Keith Murray, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Biz Markie, Wu-Tang Clan member Cappadonna, Vince Staples, Ginuwine and more. He has also done shows and music festivals in New York, Washington D.C, Atlanta, North Carolina, amongst many more cities along the east coast. He is a bold person with a bold message – say what you have to say and say it your way.” Devotion is the motive, success is the goal, and expression is key. The melodic art provided by Handles is not to be heard but to be listened to. His music is Real, Raw, and Soulful.
