Derrick  Brown a.k.a Cartiaye was born and raised in Staten Island, New York. Growing up in a busy household he used music as his escape route. As young as 8 years old Derrick began studying all music genres with a focus on hip hop and rap. He wrote his thoughts and experiences down as ryhmes for years but it wasn't until years later that he followed his intuition and began recording his written material. As a natural born intellectual Derrick began to shock his listeners with his quick wit and sometime story telling rap style. The driven rapper has a  goal which is to have the world listening, relating,  laughing and dancing while connecting to his lyrics. It's worth it to take a listen to an artist that can get you in the mood, lift you up when your down,  and make you dance out and shout . Take a listen to the music, it'll be an experience you won't regret.
