Whatup People! Take a moment to be introduced to one of NC's very own veterans in the rap industry. Born into music, Deniro grew up in Hackensack, NJ admiring his mother Valerie Hopson and godmother Kelly Barretto (daughter of the late great Latin Jazz musician Ray Barretto) striving to achieve their goals as musicians.
In 2008,Juelz Santana started his own independent label Skull Gang Entertainment in which he personally asked Deniro to become a part of. Deniro has traveled the country performing music he loves. Thus far, he has opened up for Mobb Deep, Fabulous, Field Mobb, Baby and Manny Fresh. He has two mixtapes "Deniro volume 1 hosted by Juelz Santana" and "Strait Paper presents 9/11/84 which features the song "Training Day" with Philadelphia rapper J-Bezel and Dipset's JR Writer.
Skull Gang released "The Takeover" mixtape album in the summer of 2008. After much recognition and anticipiation, Deniro and his label mates (Skull Gang) landed a distribution deal with Koch Records in 2009. The group released their debut self titled album May 5, 2009. Since then, Deniro has been in the studio, working day in and day out making the music his fans love. There is a lot to come for the young budding artist. Stay Tuned.

DENIRO: Honestly I've been very fortunate to have worked with these artists. I've learned a lot from being around them. I soak in as much knowledge I can about the game. I'm a student and the industry is like a class. Juelz is my family. He allowed me to grow as an artist under his wing. I appreciate his honest opinions and ability to recognize raw talent. Sometimes he sees what others don't. That's a good quality to have. S/O my Skullgang Family Juelz, Hynief, John Depp, Richmond Rabb, Unkasa, Riq Rose, the whole 730, birdgang, #Salute
