Splitzide

Splitzide (pronounced split-side) is a hip-hop artist who draws us into his world with truthful accounts of his life. He is impossible to imitate or replicate; he has ventured beneath the lowest layers of life and emerged on top. This is the story of an artist who has witnessed the negative and grown into something very positive. At fifteen, Splitzide was forced to fend for himself, renting an apartment and living alone. Not long afterward, he left high school in search of immediate gratification and a way to survive. With little supervision, he made the most of his surroundings and started earning money on the streets. Splitzide served more than four months in prison, marking a turning point in his young life. Realizing prison was no place to live, he used his time to write and set goals for when he was released. While incarcerated, Splitzide wrote the lyrics to “Trapped” and “Make My Bail,” two tracks from his album, 2 Sides Of The Story. As he continued to evolve as a person and an artist, Splitzide began drawing on years of introspective thought and making music. His style feels genuine because it comes from his life experiences. This is not about wanting to be a gangsta, and Splitzide sheds that image whenever possible. It is about writing and sharing the experiences that have shaped his life.
