Authentic is a self-produced underground rapper/lyricist from Ashburn, VA. His creative, thoughtful and intelligent lyrics more than make up for the makeshift, yet near-studio quality, production done out of his basement. His first release, the 6-track 'Authentic Demo' was a cult hit in the Northern VA area upon its release in May 2005. The main themes in his raps are the commercialization of hip-hop, repetitiveness of mainstream artists and his overall love of hip-hop. A full time student at Virginia Tech, Authentic has yet to come out with another album but tracks for it have been in the works for some time. Read more on Last.fm.
