A descriptive look at up and coming Harlem rapper "Stoley1st"
I’m proud to introduce
this up and coming American artist from Harlem NY, 23 year old “Stoley1st”.
Crimson Chris James AKA Stoley1st, was born in Harlem NY, moved many times and
was raised between NY, Florida, and LasVegas. Also currently resides in Las Vegas.
He has an awesome outlook on his childhood, moving around and how he feels it
affects his music.
“Living all over kinda
got to experience different ways of life, different customs, and people along
the way. Hopefully the way I deliver my music people from all over can
appreciate it.”
Stoley1st
has always liked rap since he could remember.
“ I always liked rap
music...I would write lil poems, haiku’s and stuff in 3rd grade but in 6th
grade we'd bring verses to school every day and spit em...”
Music was the only consistency
he had while growing up and moving place to place. Meeting fellow rapper
“THREE60” at 15 years old kept that consistency in his life. THREE60 adopted
him as his little brother and in Stoley1st’s own words “he taught me to really
rap”. He considers THREE60 to be the biggest name he has worked with so
far and clearly respects him very much.

When asked what artist he would
most like to work with he mentioned fellow Harlem rapper “Max B” (too check out
Max B see here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_B) However, he has many favorite artists such as
Andre3000,DMX, Jay-z, Nas,
Lauryn Hill, Kanye, Jadakiss,
MAX BIGGAVELLI, Playaz circle.
Stoley1st
has many other interests as well. He is also a graffiti artist, plays
basketball and reps his bro’s clothing line #SMACKFACE T-shirts (Check ‘em out here on Instagram: @freshdinero) As for
plans for the future Stoley1st has big ones! When asked what his goals are he
said
“goals
for the future....I want to make my wildest dreams come true, definitely got
the fam,
hopefully have the impact like Michael Jackson, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix.”
When asked what message he
would like the world to know he quoted the great Einstein:
“If you judge a fish by its
ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking it’s stupid.”
Which I 100% agree with. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and we should
always keep that in mind while judging others.
I have recently started
listening to Stoley1st and I have to say I really like his stuff. I would say
his style is a little bit of everything. It’s nice to see a rapper have variety
in a world where most rappers have the same styles, beats and lyrics on all
their songs. Stoley1st has songs that make you wanna move such as “Just peddle”
to love songs with emotion such as “thank you”. Me being a big lover of new
school rap yet have my respect and love for the old school his vibe fits
perfectly! Please do me a favor and check him out! And if you like his stuff
share and support!
