The<br \/>\nindustry has since been marred by various<br \/>\nwaves and eras that have all but<br \/>\neradicated good, &#8220;clean&#8221; music in hip-hop \u2013<br \/>\nmusic that once dominated the airwaves.<br \/>\nOne artist is taking it upon himself to make<br \/>\na difference; Country Boi is showing artists<br \/>\nand listeners alike that such music can not<br \/>\nonly still be made, but also appreciated.<br \/>\n25-year-old Country Boi hails from St.<br \/>\nLouis, Missouri, a city that Nelly put on the<br \/>\nmap in the early 2000&#8217;s with his infectious<br \/>\nhit Country Grammar. He initially became<br \/>\ninterested in music through family and<br \/>\nfriends. Earning his stripes like many<br \/>\nrappers in the culture\u2019s timeline, he has<br \/>\nsince released two full-length projects and<br \/>\nbeen spun on radio nationwide. He<br \/>\naccredits his original style to his eclectic<br \/>\ninfluences that range from the hardcore<br \/>\nsouthern firecracker, Lil&#8217;Jon, to crooner and<br \/>\nGoodie Mob alum, Ceelo Green. His<br \/>\nsound, as a result, is a playful blend of<br \/>\nmellow laid back grooves and party vibes<br \/>\nthat make it impossible to stay still.<br \/>\nCountry Boi started his career as an A&#038;R<br \/>\nfor indie label Geldden Group South or<br \/>\nGGS for short \u2013 a sister company of<br \/>\nGeldden Group Music. This experience has<br \/>\nmoulded his aspirations above that of an<br \/>\naverage rapper. Beyond a unique<br \/>\nperspective that has taught him to keep it<br \/>\nreal, and pull no punches, he now<br \/>\naims to be forever known for<br \/>\nlaunching the careers of notable<br \/>\nartists and changing lives for the<br \/>\nbetter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onewestmagazine.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12353305_124022604634800_520794697_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-652\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onewestmagazine.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12353305_124022604634800_520794697_n.jpg\" alt=\"12353305_124022604634800_520794697_n\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-652\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Currently, Country Boi can be found<br \/>\nin the studio prepping his upcoming,<br \/>\nthird full-length release, A New<br \/>\nDeal.
