PANAMA / Mr. Palmetto

"I am the problem and the answer to the game, my talent has no boundaries."



Born in Colon, Panama and raised in South Carolina, Panama a.k.a. Mr. Palmetto started out in a group with close friends and they called themselves Niggas Fa Lyfe, NFL for short. Realizing shortly that everyone in his group was not as dedicated as he was in pursuing a musical career, he branched off and became a solo artist. Aside from his Panamanian culture, he is inspired artistically by the likes of Jay-Z, Nelly, Ludacris, Jadakiss, and Lil' Wayne. He is impressed with artists that not only settle as rappers, but have bettered themselves as entreprenuers. As a solo artist he has created an impressive resume thus far, performing as an opening act for well-known artists such as Rich Boy (at the McMahon Center in Lawton, OK), the Texas-bred Oak Cliff Assassins (at Club Alaby in Lawton, OK), and Lil' Wayne (at the Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC). From these performances Panama sparked a strong hunger for the spotlight and they intensified his love for music, for hip-hop. Panama loyally attended hip-hop open mic nights every Tuesday at The Palace (of Fayetteville, NC), sharpening his skills and preparing himself for the hip-hop game.



"Taking a chance on me is equivalent to James Naismith taking the chance to invent basketball, and you see the impact of that."
