LaShawn Creed was born Desmond LaShawn Bryant September 18th 1986.  He grew up in the SW section of Philadelphia.  LaShawn started having an interest in music at the age of 9 years old when he heard his older sister listening to a Tribe Called Quest’s song Scenario.  He would sit in his room for hours listening over and over trying to learn the lyrics of each M.C.   This piqued his interest and he started exploring other artists from Biggie (Notorious B.I.G.) , Tupac and Fabolous where he learned different styles and techniques.


At the age of 13 Lashawn gained popularity in his neighborhood and other parts of Philadelphia when he decided to start making and selling instrumentals. He also participated in Rap Battles around the city. He then teamed up with his cousin Steven Overton and they called themselves Nixx and Dymez.   Lashawn kept the name Dymez for several years.  


At the age of 19 Lashawn (Dymez)  got lucky with his first hit song "Yung Stunna". It became a hit throughout the city and  that song was followed by next hit called "Pose 4 Da Camera".  At the age of 21, Lashawn took a break from music to welcome his first and only child into the world, Kyeco.  



 After 4 year hiatus he decided to get back into the music game and released his first Mixtape titled "A.D.D" (Attention Deficit Disorder).  That tape included songs "Dunkin On Em" and " Ice Cream Paint Job" which became one of his most popular songs. The mixtape sold over 10,000 copies. At that point Lashawn thought that he was onto something.

At this point he  decided to change his rap name from "Dymez" to now known "Lashawn Creed".

Lashawn came from his middle name and Creed was a nickname that was given by his Cousin Black. Black said the name fit because Lashawn used to want to fight everyone like Apollo Creed. Sadly “Black” passed away and Lashawn wanted to honor him by keeping this name.


Lashawn Creed went on to do shows up and down the east coast and was on the verge of signing a contract with a major company that was unfortunately interrupted after being diagnosed with "Severe Peptic Ulcer Disease". This caused extreme weight loss among other health issues. He was advised to put his music career on hold while he was undergoing treatment. During the summer of 2014 Lashawn decided to go against his Drs. wishes to pursue music once again since this was his only true passion. During the Spring of 2015 he performed at his first show since 2013.  After a successful performance, Lashawn felt like this was confirmation that he was well enough to continue following his dream.

From 2016 - 2018 he continued to perform in shows which included one of the biggest 3 day underground hip hop competitions in the world, "Team Backpack Mission Underground 2016" in Brooklyn , NY.  He started posting videos on all social media outlets and this helped to build his following and fan base.

2016 was a great year and he released two more hits, " Honest To God" followed by " Hate It Or Love It" which were both a success.


During the Fall of 2016 Lashawn got a heartbreaking call that his father Robert Coleman suddenly passed away due to a stroke. This invoked  a spell of depression which he struggled to get through. His father was one of his biggest supporters and always told Lashawn to follow his dreams no matter what. So to honor his father's wishes he got right back into the swing of things and performed at the "Power 99 Philly VS. Everybody" show in 2018.


In 2019 LaShawn decided to switch up things and released his newest hit " Walk Em Down" which is a real club banger.

Lashawn Creed is on track to becoming another great artist produced by Philadelphia! Take a moment to listen to his storytelling set to music. You will be able to feel  agony, heartache, laughter , and the joy he has experienced in his life.
