My name is Billy Blanco and I am an upcoming artist from the Allerton part of the Bronx. I started rapping in college during 2018 mainly just to pass time and because there was really nothing to do on that boring ass campus. Over time I had met friends on campus that rapped a little more than me and I started taking it seriously and took the time to complete songs to beats I heard on YouTube. I would rap these songs I wrote for my friends while we smoked and they f*cked with it so I kept writing more songs and eventually I started developing so I started recording and I released my first EP project in the Summer of 2019 called “Journey”.

During the short time I’ve released music, I’ve collaborated with U.R.L legend D.N.A as well as working with Ruff Ryder Records and being signed earlier this year to an independent label named “Virginia is Kool” which is affiliated with Universal Music Group. This summer I plan on dropping my new single “Force” which will be my first release under “Virginia is Kool” and will be avaliable on all streaming platforms as well as having my first visual drop on YouTube for the song.

Cole Lumpkin Moves With the Music, Letting Life Shape Every Note
