There’s truth to the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and hip-hop artist Damon Lamar is that truth.  Damon’s clarity and wordplay create a message that reaches the depths of the human condition. He learned early on, that regardless of how (painting or rapping), HIS PURPOSE, was to inspire.  Damon often says, “I paint raps and I rap paintings.”  After moving to Chicago to attend The School of the Art Institute, Lamar cut his first demo (ala Kanye West production, whom he met at an ACT-SO competition that previous year).  During this time he improved his delivery while solidifying his foundation of faith.  
Damon Lamar inked a national distribution deal after his 2nd album, He Heard My Cry gained street buzz.  To promote the album, Damon connected with Knine and DJ Sean Blu to put out The Heavyweights mixtape.  It proved to be a perfect appetizer for the main course.  Unfortunately, other promotion plans slowed when the label went under just months after his release.  Damon has shared the stage with Out of Eden, Joan Rosario, Talib Kweli, Canton Jones, and many others. 
In the meantime, Damon’s art career has taken off.  He has produced over 50 murals around Chicago and the U.S., most recently for Super bowl 46 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Renewed and refreshed, Damon has now come back to the rap game to do what he’s always been doing, changing the world.
