Andre Davis Jr. grew up in the deep south listening to OutKast, Tupac and UGK–these influences show in his woozy, slow-rolling raps, as does an affinity for Kanye West’s charming candidness and AutoTuned emotion. Prince released his debut album BLCK Diamond–a collaboration with Houston’s’ DJ Mr. Rogers–in 2011, and followed that up with BLCK Dreams shortly after. Since then, he put an end to a stint at Grambling State University in Louisiana, where he was studying Business Marketing, to go put those principles in action instead; his third project Golden Child was released at the beginning of 2016, and he’s been touring behind the project ever since.
