Irv Da Phenom on XXL

Name: Irv Da Phenom

Age: 22

Reppin’: DefMetalGospel / Kansas City

My style and/or skills have been compared to: Marvin Gaye, Tech N9ne, Cee-lo, Busta rhymes

My standout records and/or moments have been: Releasing my first album (Free) independently on Aug 25, 2010; Touring with Strange Music since 2008; Touring with Mistah F.A.B., Jay Rock, Glasses Malone, and more this year; Being featured on the XXL Presents Tech N9ne: Bad Season (hosted by DJ Whookid & DJ Scream) as well as penning hits for many other previous SM/Tech N9ne albums; Selling over 10,000 hard copies of my latest mixtape, Allnighter, nationwide out of my trunk.

I’m gonna change the game by: Making it cool to get your hands dirty.

I’d Like to Work With: OutKast, Scarface, Jill Scott, Sam Cooke

My goal in hip-hop is: To inspire people to carve their own lane in whatever it is they do. Help make a mark for Kansas City.

I’m gonna be the next: FIRST Irv Da Phenom…(We’ve got enough “Next,” that’s the problem.)
