Today I met up with local artist Stef and got to know a little more about him and his music. At first, I was like man this guy is going to think I am a joke, but he turned out to be a  cool, laid back guy and his personality definitely shows in his music.

Stef is not a DC native, he was born in Jamaica, moved to Miami, then LA and now lives here in the DMV with family. Living in all of those different areas has definitely inffluence his music, giving it a unique sound. He takes what he has learned from each hip hop scene and molds it together creating- Menace to Sobriety. Do not let the title confuse you, it is not about getting drunk or partying all the time, instead about life as he knows it. “My music is made to make you feel good and think, without being preachy.”
