Growing up in San Francisco, California, CEDBEAST was constantly surrounded by the zealous culture of old-school Hip-Hop.
The California native looks up to artists specifically recognized for their unmatched rapping talent, including Ice Cube, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Machine Gun Kelly. Having always idolized the albums Marshall Mathers LP and Straight Outta Compton, CEDBEAST has the hard-hitting intensity of old-school Hip-Hop coursing through his veins.
The natural emcee consistently shocks his audience with witty lyrics woven into seamless masterpieces. Within his songwriting, CEDBEAST constantly spotlights his main message as an artist: to unapologetically be yourself and chase your dreams no matter what others say. With two more songs set to be released soon, CEDBEAST keeps his fans on the hook, eager to hear what else he has to offer.
In a recent interview with BuzzMusic, CEDBEAST shared his biggest strength. The rising artist stated, "I'm passionate about my music. I'm passionate about music in general. Have been my whole life. I hope they see that I don't need to dye my hair all the colors of the rainbow, scream into a mic, and paint my nails to stand out. I'll do it with skill. I'll do it by simply being CEDBEAST. No gimmicks are needed. And you can hashtag that."
