"Protagonist" Ohio has a history of successful emcees. The range and style from the state is different with each of the mainstream artists coming from that region, showing that genuine artistry is a priority. The underground can often be littered with artists who don't stand out amongst their peers and with the saturation of the music industry it could be easy to overlook quality right under our noses. This is not the case with the artist named Protagonist. He is an Ohio based rapper with strong cadence, a flow that is confident and comfortable on the microphone, and solid production that really drives the message of the lyrical content home.
