Lil Pressure

How many 16 yr old teens you know that write their own lyrics, record their own songs, and design their own cd covers? Not many but you are about be formally introduced to one who does. Ladies and gentlemen meet Darryl "Lil Pressure" Sanford. Lil Pressure was born on July 29,1993, in Jersey City, New Jersey. Growing up in Curries Woods Housing Projects, also known as "Da Woods", he is no stranger to negativity. But as quoted from one of his songs intitled "Pressure 4 Mama" he spits "As a single mother she raised me with her best ability, responsibility is what I was shown with positive energy" Lil Pressure obviously decided to take another route. With musical influences such as Dmx, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Joe Budden and Juelz Santana he began rappin at age 9 and by the time he reached 11 he wrote his 1st song. As his skills began to develop his number #1 fan, Deneter S. Sanford (his mother) decided to buy him the recording tools he needed to take it to the next level. After 3 short years of perfecting his craft, Lil Pressure put a few songs and mixtapes together. Through a father figure and mentor Richard "Big Sing" Singletary, his music landed in the hands of Jersey City's own production duo The Dream Team (Produced for 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Az, etc...) Together they have been working on his debut album, mixtape series intitled "Apply That Pressure", and online music videos directed and filmed by Now Is The Productions. As a sophomore in Henry Snyder High School he is an exceptional student and is heavily involved in the media arts program. Lil Pressure has performed live at The Time Square Art Center, appeared on UBATV.COM's Street Heat Video Show, and online radio shows like 97.5 FM Elite Radio, Show Me The Money Radio, etc.. promoting his new single and video "Whut It Dew?"
