Instead of preparing for his starting quarterback position at Fayetteville State University, Jonathan Porter, better known as Blueface, is preparing for interviews with major labels and famous investors.

A tall lanky kid who looks more like an athlete than a rapper walks out on stage to a screaming crowd of loyal supporters in Los Angeles. On his left temple is a big tattoo of Ben Franklin. Blueface is the newest upcoming rapper from the ongoing golden age of rap.

The Los Angeles, California native is now performing all over the country at sold out events with tons of screaming fans. Porter’s unique style of rapping is different from any rapper in the industry right now. His flow is also different from any previous artist to make as significant impact in the Hip-Hop industry. The style of rap he uses is called “off beat” rapping and it sounds like it is, off beat. This unique style of rapping is very polarizing in the rap and hip-hop community. Listeners either love the different style of flow or they hate it.

“I first heard about Blueface last year when thotiana came out. Why would I hate him? I can relate to his lyrics because his personal journey is similar to mine. I dig his offbeat style cause it’s new and different. He’s a trend setter,” junior Jason Reyes said.

Regardless of what the haters of this new style say, it can not be denied that Porter is on the come up and is going to be the next big thing.
