The Veteran - Artist Spotlight (Richmond, VA)


David Perry better known as The Veteran aka Prada Boy, is an underground rapper born in Brooklyn, New York. Started rapping at a young age and progressed rapidly. To make a name in Richmond, VA he started battle rapping people twice his age and was victorious.

Later on, he realized that battle rappers didn't receive record deals, so started putting out mixtapes. The first project, "I Am Rap" gained attention at colleges and lead to more shows. The second, "King of Kings" caught attention from New York rapper, Loaded Lux, which only lead to phone calls and broken promises. The final, "Heir to the Throne" is incomplete but still managed to catch the ear of New York rapper Smoothe tha Hustla, which also lead to broken promises.

Now still stuck in the underground, he hopes that the shows he do will catch the attention of a serious record label. 

You can contact him on social media sites at the name @theveteran2
