Hip-Hop | Astro – Deadbeat (Come Bad Boy)
Posted by Grubeats on October 31, 2012
At a young 16 years, Brooklyn born rapper, Astro aka Astronomical Kid, has certainly built up quite a resume. He is a true student of the game, crediting the early legends as his inspiration, despite the fact he and Tupac shared the same air for a mere 18 days. Since notching a 7th place finish on season one of The X-Factor, Astro found himself on the single version of Cher Lloyd’s worldwide hit, “Want U Back”, made his TV debut on CBS’ “Person of Interest”, and most significantly signed a record deal with L.A. Reid’s Epic Records. Since inking his deal he has released one mixtape, Løser, close to a year ago, but since has been rather quiet. His newest release, and first single off his upcoming mixtape, Dead Beats & Lazy Lyrics, stems from a tough childhood relationship with his father. Produced and written by Astro, lyrics and a raw, authentic hip-hop sound are two things you can continually expect from the young MC.
