Now ready to release his debut album, “Torn Pages” on March 10th via Empire Distribution, Page is currently set to appear on 3 stages at SXSW. Since we began his album campaign Page has made fans and supporters of an impressive array of entertainment media outlets like Vibe, Miss Info, 2DopeBoyz, Nahright, Ambrosia For Heads and The Breakfast Club, both for the tracks we’ve released from the album and his impressive freestyling skills. Now he will get the chance to showcase those skills live and in person and we hope you will come out and join us.
