About
V Wescott (born September 11, 2000) knows the streets of New York like the back of his hand. As a Queens native, Wescott feels more comfortable in the main borough of Manhattan, having gone to school there, but his real home is on the stage. His sound is a product of his surroundings: the fast tempos can be compared to the fast pace of the Big Apple. His synth-heavy production demonstrates a Travis Scott influence on the young artist, as he tries to create his own lane, mixing mainstream music with the underground rap game. Flashing lights, screaming crowds, and head-shaking bass fuel the rapper's journey to fame. His debut solo project “Places 2 Be” highlights this: the hyperpop influence mixed with fast flows and melody switches makes you unable to listen without bopping your head. You can hear the hunger in the rapper's voice and lyrics, as he details the hard and fast life of an up and coming rapper. By surrounding himself with the next generation of creatives, Wescott seeks to craft a next- generation collective of artists that goes further than just music: his circle is filled with fashion designers, photographers, and digital creators, all with the same motivation as him. The multilingual rapper is definitely one to watch.
