August.
"I want to leave a legacy for young black creatives to follow."
Growing up in Lakewood CA, the church boy turned rapper has always felt like a small fish in a big pond. Inspired by artist such as Kanye West & Andre 3000 alongside the medium of animations, such as anime & The Boondocks, August. wishes to inspire the next generation of black creatives by making audiences feel and connect.
While he had performed across the West Coast and in Spain under the name of AJ, his performance alongside the Netflix “Rhythm and Flow” star, Old Man Saxon, solidified his transformation into August.
Currently, August. is collaborating with LA producer/engineer, Sergio Cortez, who has worked alongside Young Thug, Prodigy, Lil B and whose work has been featured on VH1, MTV, and the NFL Network.
