Casino – Artist Bio
Casino is a Bronx-born, Harlem-raised hip-hop artist and songwriter whose roots stretch deep into the culture-rich streets of Washington Heights and Harlem. A student of the Golden Era, Casino found his voice at just 14, inspired by the raw lyricism and storytelling of Life After Death. That album sparked a fire, pushing him to rap, sing, and write music with soul, grit, and authenticity.
In the late '90s and early 2000s, Casino carved his name in New York’s underground battle rap and freestyle circuits, earning respect with his sharp bars and streetwise poise. His relentless grind caught industry attention, landing him label interest from Orpheus/EMI and fueling others. His entrepreneurial attempt to build his own label alongside Wall Street executives he once worked with came to a halt, when terms couldn't be met.
But in 2005, life shifted. Expecting twin boys, Casino stepped back from music to focus on fatherhood and provide for his family—putting his dreams on pause but never fully letting go.
Now, years later, with wisdom, hunger, and perspective, Casino returns. Not chasing trends but adding substance. He’s here to offer an alternative—a voice for those who still crave that '90s energy, that lyrical edge, and that real. With creativity, originality, and a heart full of unfinished verses, Casino is picking the mic back up—not to chase a wave, but to create his own.
