Casey Veggies

With a burgeoning rap career and several mix-tapes under his belt by the young age of just 16 years-old, Casey Veggies has forged a nice head-start for himself amongst his contemporaries in the current West Coast hip-hop scene. An Inglewood, California native, the rapper originally had dreams to play professional basketball. But soon, an overwhelmingly positive response to the self-produced tracks he'd been making and putting out on Myspace since he was nine, led him to decide to concentrate fully on music. Veggies' smooth flow and ability to rap both boastfully and in a self-deprecating manner make him seem to have been heavily inspired by modern hip-hop icon Kanye West.
