East Nashville artist Alocodaman is supremely grateful for the opportunities music has brought into his life. The prolific MC has put eight years of focus and dedication into his craft and is now seeing the fruits of his labor, with hopes of even better harvests on the horizon.

Music has moved Loco closer to his dreams and farther from the wild lifestyle he lived as a teen in “East Nasty,” Tennessee. Now, he’s focused on keeping a level head while living his dream-- Always reminding himself that hard work will beat talent if talent doesn’t work hard.

All Def Digital, HipHopDX and local radio station 1011 The Beat (iHeartRadio) have all taken note of Loco’s work ethic, pushing his standout tracks like "How I Roll" and "Major Flexxin" onto the national stage. The charismatic MC dedicated his life to music after a gang altercation at a party ended in gunfire. But Loco's love for rapping goes back to the fifth grade.

“I made a song called “Buena Vista Soldier” in the 5th grade," remembers Loco. "My big brother helped me on the first verse and I really admired him. So the song meant a hell of a lot.” When Loco recognized he could make a living while doing something he loved, he left the gang lifestyle that ate up his late teens and went for his dream. “Going from stealing to being paid for your talents, that is a blessing! So many people can’t say they do it.”
