199V

Born in Montreal, Canada, <a href="spotify:artist:69cozQ1l39e4ZAa9bmUI45" data-name="199V">199V</a> (pronounced nineteen-ninety-v), or V for short, is a 25 year old artist who finds his uniqueness with his melodic rap&amp; singing ranging from Trap to R&amp;B and everything in between. 199V has been creating since 2012, previously going by a different name and style. After dropping a number of projects he jumped on a cross-Canada tour that was cut short due to personal affairs and having to overcome life&#39;s obstacles. After quite the hiatus, he came back under the name 199V, in honour of his late friend Valentino, and joined the ODDIO Ent. family.


His debut project <a href="spotify:album:2t0hSZyEnrXW30FnovmOz4" data-name="Twentytwo">Twentytwo</a> under the new moniker, which dropped in Fall 2017 was a milestone for the artist, marking a change in his sound and outlook. The EP gained recognition from the likes of XXL&#39;s Dash Radio, Earmilk, Bluntiq and more. His standout single <a href="spotify:album:0ourdE7WeoHtOmSm67vAKT" data-name="Way Too Much">Way Too Much</a>, featuring <a href="spotify:artist:34y32pDipyh4aj4SeUKz2d" data-name="JT Soul">JT Soul</a> &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:3YEjoblQU4V67P3nMCREcp" data-name="Jei Bandit">Jei Bandit</a>, was featured on Trap Party&#39;s YouTube page and drew in a lot of hype for the project, resulting in a sold out release event at Le Belmont venue in Montréal.


Most recently the young MC has been working on his next project while dropping a slew of singles, most notably <a href="spotify:track:15ixs30mbaXXF6yinCktth" data-name="Love Star">Love Star</a>, while showcasing his ability to produce his own music and just how far he&#39;s come as a creator. With his EP dropping this January 2021, almost exactly 3 years after his last, he&#39;s gearing up for what is looking like one hell of a rollout.
