Born in Columbus, Ohio, Ends grew up spending every moment soaking up Hip Hop culture. His deep seeded lyrical skills, wordplay, aggressive sound, and songwriting abilities have landed him in the spotlight in Hip Hop circles and the underground show circuits, garnering acclaim and attention from Hip Hop DX, ThisIs50, and even his fellow emcees. Ends started his career early, aggressively recording mixtapes and finally releasing his first album Bloodworks(2007) when he was only 18, and just out of high school under his former moniker, Finale. Since then, he’s gone on to release many more mixtapes, as well as his 2016 album "Beautiful: The Ness Kennedy Sessions." His second album fused hard-hitting beats with lyrics that meshed both political and social issues, as well as the bars and opinions that classic hip hop heads will find endearing. Littering the album were all of the personal touches about his own life and trajectory, crossed with clever and witty punchlines that his style had come to be known for. Along with his crew, the Mafiatic Misfits, Ends headlined 3 west coast tours and released their own debut album "The M Word." Currently working on his newest body of work, he can be found on his weekly podcast, IconoClash, discussing topics like music, film, and other forms of pop culture.
