Ape Tha Man
Ape Tha Man is a 28-year-old MC from Chicago, Illinois. Equipped with his trademark multi-syllable flow, colorful self-created beats, and character driven rap style, Ape Tha Man is truly a peculiar MC with great promise for the future. His debut Mini-Album, Planet Ape, is a tale of a young alien man from another planet known as Planet Ape. In this tale, Ape Tha Man has crash landed on earth after a betrayal from his partner Mike, and now he's tasked with the mission to become something greater than himself. The tale is also a double-sided metaphor; it's also a story of perseverance after a real life betrayal from a previous close friend (and partner), at the darkest point in his life. Now as Ape Tha Man, a persona that resembles that of a superhero (with a bit of comedic value), he's splashing a bit of color and "positivity" in what he would describe as a world of villains. Through his story of death, rebirth, and ascension, he hopes his message can inspire others.
