809060

Biography

After his 2013 mixtape release titled 'Done Thinking' hosted by Power105's own DJ Suss-One, Handles released his second studio album 809060 in 2017, which amassed over 700K+ streams with his two singles "Stop Sleepin" and "Too Obvious" featuring Sanura setting the tone. Coming from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the emcee brings new meanings to the word “hunger” by consistently displaying his drive to fulfill his appetite for artistic success. Fast forward two years on November 4th, 2019, Diplomats in-house producer AraabMUZIK and Roc-A-Fella legacy act Young Chris join Virginia based wordsmith for his latest studio album H1: Honesty And Loyalty Ever Seen. It's spearheaded by the OSYM+THX-produced "MENU" featuring Sonja and anchored by the Young Chris collaboration "Mob Ties" as well as the AraabMUZIK joint effort "520's." Comprised of 10 cohesive tracks, additional contributions come from DJ Kool Flash, Kori Nicole, Sonja, and more. As he continues to progress on the road, his performance helped build a strong fanbase by opening up for artists: Redman and Methodman, Rakim, The LOX, Kool G Rap, Raekwon and Ghostface, Joe Budden, EPMD, Skyzoo and Rapsody to name a few. That support gained recognition by landing spins on various stations as well as receiving cosign approvals from a few legends in the game. The art provided by Handles is not to be heard but to be listened to, proving to listeners both young and old how set apart he is from the social stigma of rappers today.
