ETC.

Etc..., aka Erin Gray is one of the most controvesial underground rappers you probrably never heard of. Jumping into the game riding the 5points Entertainment wave that did lift off landed Etc..., also known as Etcsmusic with Nu Element. He a unique artist in the sense that he expresses things he'd like to do, done, plan to do, and just thing of doing within his lyrics. So its safe to say he's an artist who can write r&b tracks as well. He's originally from Harlem, New York but is known throughout the globe for various contorversial reasons. His music has been described as everything from "hard", "dark", "angry", and at times "stressed" but definitely those who choose to live like him can relate to the sound and experiences he's encountered and lived to tell in his music.

Etcsmusic can be found via the web just keyword etcsmusic and you'll find a variety of music for free to download and hear, but look forward to his mixtape which will definitely hit the streets this early 2010. He has a mixtape filled with freestyles and music that most smokers and eveyday people will gravitate to.Tracks like "Its Whateva" and "What I'm About To Do" have been favorites but indeed he has much more instore as he battles the everyday life of being a quote on quote deadbeat dad choosing to take time to follow his dreams. Something alot of men run into when they are trying to be fathers and who the would like to be at the sametime. Needless to say his patience has paid of and hopefully Nu Element will be a home for him. Based i the Bronx where Etc... has been accepted and he's now on a mission to "bridge the gaps".

Etc... is inspired by primarilay himself to write his music. He comes from a structured family that consisted of his brother and sister, mom and step-father. In other words growing up he was alone. Saw himself as the "trial baby" and hid all his feelings by doing what was "right". Attending school and helping with the family. But inside he was bitter, he wanted to know why he wasnt with his dad but knew as a kid he'd never get that answer. So wonder took over him and off he went on a huge tangent. Battling the streets, family, friends, from NYC to Ft. Lauderdale practically but he was frustrated because at this point he had failed at alot college, support his first family with his baby mom and now with a second mom potentially "prego" he's decided to make a complete push with his camp. Etc.. can relate to alot of people because of his habits and ways. He's a dude who definitely learned alot threw the streets but who can deny his mental stregth. His desire to get across his story or make thing happen his way despite the odds. You gotta give it to em cause he will talk it and spit it and try his hardest not to walk it for his family and kids. Somethin hard to do and be a "rapper" or rap artist. Despite what you may think to him "its not a movie dog".

So contrary to the disbelief give ya boy Etc... a try give em a listen at the end of the day its no way a person can become a "famous nobody". He's had to have had some value somewhere. He's had to be important to someone other than family, he has to have some good tratis to be a father of two different womens children and he has to eat. Just like everyone else so imagine his hunger if no one wants him to, if no one will support and make it easier for any reason. For him its "rap money either that or rap money.
