IMG is not your typical rapper, his clean cut, polished style and straight-laced diplomatic demeanor might have you thinking he was a sensible scholar with ambitious academic pursuits - and you’d be right. Further against the grain, his musical career is not the result of a life-long passion. Rapping started out as a hobby, and quickly evolved when he realized he had real talent. He’s smart, he’s savvy, and he definitely has a plan. Currently shaking things up at Syracuse University, he holds a solid 3.6 while steadily advancing his music dream one strategic step at a time – backed every inch of the way by his parents who help him keep his priorities in check, while fully supporting his dream. He connects with his fans through social networking, continually expanding his web of followers, and creating a buzz. His first mixtape entitled The Movement is an independent production getting raves from those who’ve heard it. It’s due out later this year.
