Philly Hip Hop artist Boone

from Indie Review · host Indie Review

Philadelphia  has always been known for its raw, authentic talent. Artists that come  from this entertainment jewel are adorned by greatness and a stellar  work ethic. Such is the case with Philly’s latest and greatest Hip Hop  artist, Boone. Marquis Boone was born and raised in South Philadelphia,  PA. After playing college ball at Steven’s Technical College in  Lancaster, PA, one would assume that Boone was a sure win for a career  as a pro baller. Turns out that they were right, just not on the  basketball court. Falling in love with music while in college led Boone  to form the hip hop group Fly 4 Life.  Although short lived, the  experience catapulted the young artist into the next phase of his life  as a solo artist. It all started at a talent show in front of a small  crowd at an event sponsored by Sneaker Villa in Philly. He won the  opportunity to perform at Unity Day in front of a crowd of 50,000. Here  he caught the ear of Wayne “Big Wayne” Montgomery, a bodyguard for Kidd  Rock, Black Street and Teddy Riley.  This relationship permitted Boone  to experience a national tour with Black Street and to work in the  studio with Eric Williams of the group. Being inspired by his  contemporaries such as Jay-Z and Philly’s own Beanie Siegal, Boone  continues to align himself with people that see his greatness. Palmieri  Jeans, a Philadelphia based clothing company, met the rising star and he  can now be seen in some of their branding and promotional campaigns.  They in turn support his shows and other musical efforts. Last  summer Boone’s club banger “Club Like” featured hip-hop super star  Wacka Flacka and had a big impact on dance floors and radios across the  globe.  He has followed suit with his latest single “Nanas” ft Gillie Da  Kid, another base filled, catchy head knocker that is currently  climbing the charts as well as taking the clubs by storm. As Boone’s  music and likeness continues to expand beyond his hometown his golden  personality and relentless talent continue to lead the way.  Soon you  too will be able to find him on a radio, a dance floor or a stage near  you.     For more info: http://www.indiereviewcd.com https://twitter.com/IndieRevue https://www.instagram.com/indie.review https://www.facebook.com/indie.review
