A-F-R-O has only been on the scene for a few years, but this teenage rapper has already been compared to The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z. Multiple outlets have labelled him "the future of hip hop," and all you need to do is listen to one of his incredibly smooth, eloquent verses to see why.

A-F-R-O started rapping when he was just nine years old, after hearing Rakim's "Microphone Fiend." Rejecting the mainstream artists of his time, the young southern California MC grew up listening to KRS-One, Wu Tang Clan, and Big Daddy Kane.

“I’m not really a fan of the new stuff, I recognize that some of them are pretty dope, but to me it’s the voice first thing of all, and I don’t really hear anyone new whose voice is real

Not everyone can get away with releasing an album of sexy slow jams when they're sixty years old, but not everyone is Drake's dad.
