Meet Damon X, the emerging addition to Yonkers' often-overlooked hip-hop narrative. "The Drive" marks Damon X's first release after his name change and featuring on Tanner Peterson's single, "Break the Spell." Inspired by car culture, Damon X employs a continuous double entendre on the word "drive." Boasting an increasingly urgent lyricism over a smooth beat, "The Drive" includes themes of competition and social justice to tell a story of the self-determination required to reach one's dreams.

Hailing from Yonkers, New York, Damon X is the latest in a surprisingly long line of hip-hop/R&B artists from the "Sixth Borough." Like fellow Yonkers artists (e.g. DMX, Mary J. Blige, and The LOX), Damon X couples his phenomenal songwriting, rapping, and singing skills with an inextinguishable drive to be recognized by the pinnacles of the music world. Some may describe this as a chip on his shoulder. Damon X prefers to see it as reflecting the essence of the city of Yonkers. Being the son of a former Miami DJ granted Damon X an upbringing constantly filled with an eclectic music collection. As a result, some of Damon X's first influences include the likes of Gil Scott Heron, Bob Marley, Erykah Badu, Joni Mitchell, and 2Pac.

However, as a young listener during the famous "Blog Era" of hip-hop, Damon X's first inspirations in rap were J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., and Kendrick Lamar. While many - to devalue the genre - enjoy distinguishing hip-hop and higher education, Damon X graduated from an Ivy League university. Staying true to his studies, Damon X brings a sociological lens to creating music. Much of his approach to songwriting focuses on themes such as race, class, life, death, love, and loss. To Damon X, the point is not just to make art; it's important to make art just.

Reposted from @quotethemc Gotta love this shit! Above all else, stay ten toes. Head high and keep your morals in the forefront of every opportunity. Who’s ready for Kings’ Revenge recap? Who’s ready for my next shows? Who’s ready to live out their dreams and walk in their purpose? I do not apologize for the mounds of energy that I have that you haven’t experienced in others nor yourself. I’m aligned and fully believe in myself. I understand that this is jarring to some, but get use to it or move aside because this glow needs to glow. 😤🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾😤 Step in your Godliness! #QuoteTheMC #TheRapOut #RapEfficiently #hiphopclassics #rapgod #rapgods #hiphopartists #blackking #blackkings #blackgod #blackgods #africanspirituality #blackspirituality #blackconsciousness #blackmusic #blackmusicmonth #realhiphop #realhiphopmusic #nychiphop #nyhiphop #nyrap #nycrap #conscioushiphop #hiphopsoul #livehiphop https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmSfk8jh5g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
