Rapper District 21 was raised in Calabasas, California, and his music keeps a consistent theme of recounting the melodramatic environment he grew up in with a layer of maturity and confidence in his flow. District began working in the studio at the age of 12, but did not release his first two singles “New Things” and “Pictures” until his senior year of school in 2015. In 2017, he released the single “Jeeps,” which earned him heavy rotation on BET Jams. That same year he released the mixtapes ‘Outsiders Village’ and ‘Lifeguard,’ created for California highways and nostalgic of his frequent trips to Malibu growing up. His latest mixtape ‘No Static’ was released in October of 2018, with the lead single “Hardly” produced by Mustard. It was a change of pace for him garnering a much more aggressive tone and mood. Regardless, whether it be a story of a wild house party, a new relationship, a moment of bravado, or simply a moment to himself, one thing’s for certain; he’s being honest.
