I was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. My mother & father were both from Puerto Rico & fairly new to the United States. My family is the 1st generation that moved to America from PR. I have 2 brothers & 2 sisters who I am very close to. I remember growing up in Westlawn projects in the West End of New Bedford ‘til I was 8 years old. I used to remember seeing crack heads sleeping in the streets; gunshots thru the late nights; & hustlers making their money at all hours of the day.
Honestly, I have always been the type to be grateful for everything I had because I new there were a lot more people around the world in much more worst predicaments. Children who are truly starving and truly in the midst of war! But while my moms was working–going to school & pops hustling I was being raised by my grandparents and older brother. I was especially close to my grandfather, Felix Humberto Navarro: whom I was named after. I was with him all the time, as he would teach me how to box & taught me the fundamentals of sports. He would always tell me stories of him growing up in Puerto Rico. He was born in 1912 so trust me when I say he had many tales to tell me.
Soon after I turned 8 my family and I moved to Shawmut Village (Potter St. projects aka P St.). It was there that life started to become very difficult. Violence & drugs ran thru the projects like insects. With my mom & pops arguing every night, sleeping would be a bit difficult most times. One thing I was always happy about are the friends that I’ve gained by moving to Potter. If u look at the squad today, we are still filled with the same bad ass little rug rats u seen when we was 8 years old.

Moms & pops soon called it quits & had a pretty bad divorce. So without a father in the house I looked to my big bro, Joel. Lucky me! Because my brother was an emcee & started building a studio in his room, ‘til this day I have remained inspired to become one of the greatest emcees to ever bless a mic. So everyday I was writing. HIP HOP WAS, AND STILL IS, MY LIFE!!! High school years were bit of a blur, like when students around me were taking notes, I was writing rhymes in my notebook. But soon after I graduated I knew I had to do something drastic so I moved to the Big Apple (Washington Heights). I had no experiences with big cities but went anyway. I spent most my time in the studio like I always have & started to build connects out there. I lived out there almost a year & moved back to Massachusetts when my big bro decided to start a label: Audio Art Records.
My brother then built a professional studio for audio, photography, graphic design & video (Audio Art Records) headquarters. My brother made me realize that anyone can make it……. its just, how bad do u want it? I then told my brother, this is all I know & we will make it because there isn’t anything in this world that can stop us. Our desire is to strong, our will is unbreakable & our talents are unmatched. Today there are over 100 million rapper out there, but there is only one VARRO.
Music: My style of music is none other than HIP HOP!!! Over the years my swag has become very diverse. I got tracks that’ll make u happy & others that would make u cry. Tracks that speak about peace-love & unity while I got other tracks that speak upon Revolution & death to who ever tries to hurt my family or my squad. I even have many songs that make u dance & others that encourage u to get your hustle on & make that money by any means necessary.

My up coming projects are actually going to be a series of ablum/mixtapes called “The Beginning of The End.” There will be 3 separate “Prophecies”/mixtapes (Prophecies 1, 2 & 3). The over all idea of this series is the “beginning of the end” for the competition & to who ever stand in my way. This is real music coming from all sorts of directions and angles. One second you’ll be hearing a track about my deepest thoughts & the next u hear a track that will have the ladies breaking it down on the dance floor. See I love to make club bangaz that are not dumbed down but have such a ring to it that u got to love it, sing along & dance.
Mission Statement: My plan is to record, perform & promote vigorously: Non-stop! I want to give Hip Hop fans quality music. The best of the best is what I offer. If u want to dance, I got u…if u wants to hustle, I got u…& if u want to revolutionize, I GOT U!!! It’s truly a never ending variety for my fans & supporters.
