In today’s oversaturated and underproduced music industry, it’s refreshing to hear a voice emerge that stands on its own without the modern jovial costume we have come accustomed to. You know, the 10 diamond choker chains, skinny jeans, space boot tennis shoes, the blicky with the sticking hangin’ out - oh, and we can’t forget the all important “slidin’ on the opp’s” mantra. We’ve all seen it - and quite frankly… NEXT. Enter CXLD SPEECH aka Sub-Zero with the words. Residing just NORF of Los Angeles in the city of Altadena - CXLD SPEECH is a product of the generation of adolescents born within the LA gang schematics. Born of a father who was World Famous Crippin’ and a single mother who worked as a Bank representative, the vast duality in the household allowed CXLD SPEECH to choose a more creative weapon…. A Pen & Notepad. A true creative at heart, CXLD SPEECH is agile in all aspects of ART. His first realization of his creative prowess was while doodling in his notepad, drawing caricatures. Not your regular cartoon characters but of real life hip-hop figurines - an expressionist portrait of the people around him, in his community, of the CULTURE. The initial flame that sparked his creativity.
