CIG 40

Cig 40 grew up listening to neighborhood rappers like Biggie, Jay-Z and others like 50 Cent, and Lil Wayne that helped shape his youth. Heavily influenced by his brother, Cig didn't officially start rapping until after his brother Pretty Pistols was murdered in 2012. Cig describes his music as a real Brooklyn sound. Old school principles mixed with an updated raw and edginess with an authentic gritty bounce. He's ready to lift the black clouds that has hovered over his neighborhood for a long time and turn those rainy days into sunshine. He's opened up for Young M.A, Dream Doll, Manolo Rose and a slew of other shows that featured Fred Da Godson, Phresher, Boogz Boogetz, P.N.B. Rock and Chief Keef on the bill. With Brooklyn making major noise these last few years, be sure to take note and add Cig 40 to that list in the near future.
