WHERE I COME FROM - RAP GENIUS BIOGRAPHY
PART TWO - THE RED TAPE (TRANSITION)
In the year 2013, I started making music records with Mad House. We recorded a song called "Murder Dem" with Toddie and Ace Kid. In fact, this was my first time to make a studio record at Thug Records with musicians such as Ace Kid, Cyfa Steez, Black Knowledge, Toddie and Stampede with producer Gonos the Thug. We recorded a song called "We Monsters" as my second song collaboration. By then, Rap Genius was called Exotic Thor before the transition to Harris Genius to as currently the rapper being called Rap Genius. At that point, we were making street records that weren't played on radios or uploaded on websites. We didn't have that kind of radio politics or knowledge of copyrights for licenses and royalties.
As of 2016, the rapper goes back to the studio for an up and coming artist into the rap music industry. Rapping and making music records with G-Newo and People's Mcee reforming the Souls of Underground Clan. It was such an inspiration and influence for a rapper who thought his rap career was faded. "G-Newo" was such an inspiration and a huge mentor for me as an Artist/Musician, with People's Mcee being the acting producer and rapper in Souls of Underground Clan". In November, 2016, Souls of Underground Clan was invited to perform at an album launch at Luxurious Cultural Center in area 23, Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa. The performance paved way for the group as we shared the stage with "Atort Manje" and various Musicians.
The journey into the rap industry continues as rapper Rap Genius makes more music with the Souls of Underground Clan playing an important role in the clan. By then, the rapper's stage name was Harris Genius until the transition to Rap Genius. In 2020, a transformation took place where the rapper forms a brand called Rapchild International. A team of five players joined the movement as the peak to the music industry arised. Investing and making more music as a group was a joint with Ngwazi Drew, Gondogun, Lil Cykor, Art and Graphics Director Tony Ricky and Josie a Nigerian artist and musician. At this time, we made records such as "We Up" and a mixtape record of "Afro state of mind" by then Harris Genius with "Lilongwe state of mind" being the hit song in the tape.
