Some things are just meant to be. Take the Texas born rapper Bone for instance. Ever since he was seven years-old, Bone (Born DeMarcus Hamilton) knew that one day he would be a rapper. As a youngster he would emulate hip-hop legends like LL Cool J on his Fischer Price karaoke machine. But unlike most kids who love to rap along with their idols, Bone was positive that one day his words would be just as accessible as the most popular MCs.
Bone‟s dream for stardom didn‟t take long to come into fruition. At just 22 years-old, Bone scored a deal with the legendary Def Jam Records thanks to his enormously catchy single, “Homegurl.”
“I never had any doubt in my mind that I wasn‟t going to get a deal,” says the self-assured Bone. “I never really had a plan to do anything but this. I always told anyone who knew me that I was going to be a rapper and I‟m big about backing up whatever it is that I say.”
Growing up in Northeast Texas
in the small town of Atlanta,
Bone learned at an early age that
determination was his ticket to
stardom. At 15 he started
working at a local barbershop
sweeping up hair. Lucky for
Bone, the barbershop was
equipped with a studio which he
would frequent between haircuts.
“I was the little kid who would
always rap at football games,
basketball games, or wherever I
could,” remembers Bone. “The
dude who owned the barber shop
knew I really had a passion for music and he took a liking to me and gave me the opportunity to start recording music there.”
