Artist History JOE CASTRO has been rapping since the day before forever. Picking up his pen to craft his first rhyme after listening to the Beastie Boys first album. Hailing straight from Chicago, JOE CASTRO's sole purpose is to capture respect for his native in the rap game. JOE CASTRO, as well as writing all his own material, handles things on the production tip as well. After hearing JOE CASTRO rip a mic, listening to just the average emcee after that point is simply out of the question.

Instruments Vocal chords and a mic

Albums Look out for the underground tape floating around titled "CASTRO Unreleased Tracks vol 1". First major release set to drop in the FALL of 2000 titled "ABSOLUTE POWER" which is guaranteed add a new spin to the dimension of rap.
