RapidL is an 18-year-old rapper from Hounslow, West London who is close to signing with a major record label. He grew up in a rough area and was involved with gangs and crime as a youth. He dropped out of school at 16 but is now focused on his rap career and leaving his old life behind. He started rapping at underground rap battles and nearly won a major tournament. This led to a producer contacting him and making a mixtape, gaining RapidL fans and recognition from magazines as his YouTube videos grew in views. He is now waiting to finalize a record deal.
