i47

i47,

born in baltimore, maryland, but rose
from the streets of atlanta
(south hariston and adcox road) to be exact,


he tapped into the creative side of himself
after the passing of his grandmother in 2013,


above all, i47 obtained his name from her,
barbara ann valentine born 5/30/1947
as he would recite, “i stands for me”
and the 47 comes from 1947,

he was introduced to soundcloud in 2014,
(late 2014) and released 12 songs on there before taking his skills to other streaming platforms such as apple music, tidal, spotify, youtube and etc,


he decided to release his official debut single “eastside47” on apple music in 2018, and proceeded to release the visual for it later on in 2019 / he has yet to reach his peak in terms of eastside47 but was fully inspired by the late great nip hussle to keep pushing this particular single, 

he had fun with a tune named “someone out of town” by yuna music while creating everyone’s favorite single “judge you” / judge you being his top song to this day accumulating over 15,000 plays in total,


i47 released his debut od titled “mynameisi47”
on all platforms 1/28/21 with stronger tracks such as breathe part one and two & diilionsden
