Now appearing before the entertainment industry, NEPH was born and raised in Maryland on the west and east side of Baltimore. Incarcerated is where he began his writing career. His first two albums entitled "Released" and "These Streets are Tough" are based on true stories. He also produced his mixtape "AudioPiff." When asked what vibe does his music offer to the listeners, his answer expressed his feelings "so that people will know what's real." Not just an artist, NEPH is also president of KDE Kankret Deeds Entertainment, LLC. and is currently working on the highly anticipated mass collaboration of every artist on the label. As far as being in the studio, KDE takes it with the utmost seriousness, keeping and maintaining a focus. NEPH makes it clear he will not entertain the "rap beef" hype, also stating he is not interested in any deals at this point. That's a whole new tax bracket he states, unless it is a distribution deal. Until then he will continue to be independent, building himself a win-win situation as he sees fit with the ultimate goal of just striving to make good music. KDE also has been said to star in their own independent films. LIKE IT. LOVE IT OR HATE IT! NEPH stands for " Never Entering Politics Haters."
