Hailing from the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, a place where all the talent around the nation is imported, comes an emcee, weighing in at a heavy 160 pounds, ready to make his mark on the entire country. In this corner, is a record industry of politics, and bullshit... and in this corner, is a star, waiting to shine light on the entertainment world.
With a city of emcees and hip hop talent behind him, Samson takes a step into the forefront and lets it be known who is really the people's champ. Since birth, Samson was surrounded by musicians. Born into a family, where his father was a drummer/preacher/all around entertainer and his mother sung in the local choir, Sam Barnum, has had a gift for getting people to hear him.
He fell into a group of like minds, headed by his producer Synickle, who all began making hip hop music in 2000 and so started his journey. After a span of only five years, Samson has won an entire city of hip hop fans, through different avenues in Las Vegas. Whether it's holding down the longest hip hop event, Sunday Skoolin', on a weekly bases, or performing on the strip... Samson has been known to take titles at every emcee battle in town.
From the street corner chyphers, to the Sin City Showdown, Samson has been spreading his message to the masses. Which at the moment happens to be his new album Since Birth, on the label Campfire Music, who happens to be one of the labels in town who has been simmering for awhile and is now ready to boil over and blow up. Samson has shared the stage with artists ranging from Swollen Members to Lil Wayne.
Ready to venture out and make his mark on the planet armed with nature talent and the ability to master any ceremony, Samson is one of a kind artist that will never leave a venue without his presence being felt.
