Phil Derrico began rapping at an early age, writing lyrics and breaking into microphones under the influence of Eminem and Tupac. He's now on the struggle to the top, with the dream of making his late father proud and give his mother the life she dreams of. Phil Derrico, being a high school student, was often teased and considered a joke, but, the aspiring artist continued to do what he loved and people are soon beginning to realise that the kid means business, and with passion and dedication - comes respect. "I may be young, but why stop? Always follow your dreams, who cares what people say". -Phil Derrico 19 years old, a hundred years to go. Upstate New York HipHop Artist.
