Monte is a rising artist from Detroit currently based out of New York. He is a lyricist for the new generation with a powerful message to share. In first single “I Declare”, Monte boldly goes after the system that has oppressed the minority (specifically black people) for so long and how it has brought us to the breaking point we are currently at. All this over a banging trap beat with a hook that still leave room for you to bob your head. This song is available on all streaming platforms. Check it out below!
"Ain't No Nigga Like Me," is not only Vain's theme song it is also a special dedication to Big Kap who passed away February 3, of this year.
