He is currently based out of San Antonio, TX. Vermin the Villain was born on the border of Mexico and the United States to Venezuelan and Mexican parents, which has given him a unique perspective of the world as an artist that is pushing the definition of contemporary hip-hop. Suspended in Limbo, he found a sound that is truly his own. He has always held art as the highest priority in his life. His music is simply a reflection of what he is experiencing in the moment. It is a product of his environment and high technical prowess. With advanced knowledge in the sciences, he crafts music that is truly one of a kind. Is this truly the cutting edge of hip-hop? You decide.”
