With strong Harlem roots and down south grooming, Young Caliber is self-proclaimed to be the next best thing to hit the music scene. Infamously known as the "North-South Kid", Caliber brandishes the skills to integrate both the swagger of New York Hip Hop with the hard bounce of the South, culminating the "best of both worlds". As a child, writing rhymes and playing basketball were two skills that came natural to Young Caliber. He attributes his love for Hip Hop to legends like Ice Cube, Notorious B.I.G. and T.I. Being raised on the tough streets of Harlem, Young Caliber found himself in and out of the juvenile system for most of his young life. Eventually getting on the right track, Caliber finished high school, and was given a partial scholarship to play basketball. Caliber was confident this was his opportunity for a better life. After a year and a half of attending college, and struggling to maintain financially, Caliber realized the NBA wasn't in his future and decided to leave the university. He soon moved to Bluffton, SC where he focused on perfecting his writing skills, and devising a plan to break into the music industry. With a hustler's grind and determination, and being the only member still able to pursue their dream, Caliber decided to go full throttle and pursue a career as a solo artist. Over the next few months, Caliber worked diligently in the studio recording music, and in 2006, he release his first mix-tape "The Heart of the Streets". The mix-tape received rave reviews and street credibility, with his single "We Ain't Playing Wit You" getting support and spins from 93.1, one of South Carolina's biggest radio stations. Since his release, Caliber has been the opening act for Pastor Troy, and did a show with Sony/Cash Money's Yo Gotti. Caliber is currently working on his third mix tape CD, "The Bounce Back", which is currently available online. Music lovers can expect to hear a refreshing sound that blends the North and South to perfection.
