Not many people are built to last in the music industry of
today. It is even harder if you are a rapper. One can't
simply rely on skill anymore; you have to be dedicated to the daily
grind and able to master writing catchy club anthems without losing
one's street image. Wispers is truly one of a dying
breed. Since starting Code of Silence Entertainment (C.O.S.
Ent.) in 2003 Wispers has caught the ear of industry heavyweights
such as DJ Sickamore, OG Ron C, Riggs Morales & Jon Gottlieb
thru the releases of his singles and mixtapes. He estimates
about 15,000 of his cd’s have hit the streets over the years
building his reputation as of the leaders of the new East Coast
era. All this while serving time in federal prison and
witnessing the death of his brother in shooting that nearly left
Wispers paralized. Wispers is the man every girl wants and
who every rapper wants to be. For years Wispers has been
preparing to tell his story and now the world finally seems to be
ready to hear it.
Born in Boston, Wispers first began writing lyrics in order
to share them with his sister who was born with a hearing
impairment. His lyrical ability soon earned him a reputation
but Wispers also began earning a bigger name on the streets.
Getting arrested serveral times as a teen Wispers' mother moved him
all around Boston and it's surrounding cities to New York and
Florida in hopes of saving her son from the streets. The
experience of living in so many different regions gave Wispers the
ability write songs that everyone would like. Wispers helped
start Split2nd Entertainment and was fast becoming one of rap's
most promising talents but it wasn't paying the bills.
Wispers found himself in prison and once released he was no longer
the label's main focus.
In 2003 Wispers returned to the streets where he ended up
selling a gun to a federal informant wearing a wire. It was
at this moment that Wispers would create C.O.S.
Entertainment. Knowing he was going back to prison Wispers
enlisted various friends to help run the label in his
absence. Before returning to jail a single titled "Game's On
The Line" featuring former Terror Squad member Triple Seis was
printed on vinyl and shortly after it's released Wispers was sent
back to prison. The song still garnered major radio airplay
and C.O.S. released a mixtape titled "Guilty By Association".
The mixtape was a collection of songs Wispers had recorded for his
debut album "Wispers In The Dark", which was never released.
Finally returning home in early 2005 Wispers released the
now classic "Go Fuck Yourself Vol.1" mixtape. The mixtape
became infamous due to the use of the wiretaps from his court case
as segways to the music. In 2007 Wispers connected C.O.S.
with Seawood Records/Risk Music Group to release "Sweet Nothings"
via Digiwaxx. The single featured songstriss Candace Jones
and legendary producer Dame Grease on the beat. Wispers then
released "Go F*ck Yourself Vol. 2" and major labels began showing
interest. It was then that Wispers found himself victim to
nightclub shooting which sent a bullet clear thru both his legs and
his brother dead.
Most people would quit after so much struggle, but not
Wispers. Within a month Wispers was back performing shows and
recording more than ever. In Summer of 2008 Wispers released
"Champagne" and "Power" on Digiwaxx via Seawood Records/Risk Music
Group. The singles marked the beginning of a new phase for
Wispers. A phase marked with an unheard of hunger to make
it.
Since their release Wispers debuted a brand website
(www.iamwispers.com) and recorded 60 new songs. He has chosen
the best 15 for his new mixtape “Step Your Game Up” and has begun
recording material for his debut album which he has titled “Ain’t
No Plan B”. The title signifies his new approach to the music
industry and how failure is not an option.
