These days, pop culture has made a consummate joke of 20-something men who aspire to be legitimate, internationally known mainstream rappers. This is partly because the market is oversaturated with lyricists following trends, but not many show up as bonafide artists creating their own trends, willing to open up from a place of authenticity and self-contained vision. As every generation witnesses at least once, it's a rare artist who arrives on-time, as priceless, poetic genius built upon real-life, designed to usher in the type of energy that generates public movements that shift the future of Hip-Hop's ever-evolving culture. Tampa native SAMXWAR is such artist, as he has recently has been working with Los Angeles-based label NiVe Entertainment Group, in preparation for his ascension as the spiritual orb of Emo rap. "I have had my eye on SAMXWAR for a couple years and it's plain to see how complete he already is as a real artist. His growing influence and gift as a social commentator, if you will, was cultivated from that generation of SoundCloud graduates like Billie Eilish, Juice WRLD, Post Malone and of course XXXtentacion. That generation of elites are now thriving; almost full-grown. And symbolically SAMXWAR is one of the last dominant voices of that generation that's going to drive the culture into its glorious what's next. The world is about to be turned upside-down and I could not be more excited," says Nikia Shanard, CEO of NiVe Entertainment Group.

To refer to him as just a rapper is ultimately a detraction from SAMXWAR's wide range of artistic influences & eclectic persona. Born James K. Sconiers Jr., he is the quintessential kid that does his own thing-style is earthy but contemporary. Both musically and energetically SAMXWAR blooms with all the valor of his stage name which is a meshing of SAM for Samuri connected to WAR, together meaning Samuri Warrior. SAMXWAR makes it clear rapping is just what he leads with as his ultimate objective is to create possibility for humanity not just gather words that rhyme for fame & money. "I'm a vocalist, honestly. I like to do everything and though most of my catalogue is Emo, I am not tied to a certain genre of music. I can create from any kind, even Country if it came down to it," he states casually.
