Black Deniro was born and raised in the hard streets of Philadelphia. Like everybody else in the hood, he was always listening to rap music, and one day decided to try and write his own rap. People in his neighborhood heard his song and really started talking about him, so he decided to pursue music seriously. As a kid, Black Deniro’s influences were Run DMC and Big Daddy Kane (a smooth rapper who talked about street life and being a player). Now he is a legend in Philadelphia and has recorded music with almost every artist in Philly, including Meek Mill, Beanie Sigel, Cassidy, Freeway, Chris and Neef, and close friend Gillie Da Kid, to name a few. He is currently recording music for his new album, which comes out this year. Black Deniro also has a “feature” mixtape he will be dropping soon that includes all songs that he has done with other artists from across the country. Outside of music, Black Deniro is focusing on helping the youth of Philadelphia stop the violence and encouraging them to stay in school. He goes to schools, community centers, and youth events talking to kids about living for the future and staying out of trouble. And though he is a good dad, Black Deniro is always working to be a better father to his kids.
