Fresh Porter has the streets tuned all the way in. 

Hailing from Petersburg, Virginia, the rising artist is on his way to becoming one of the greats. Creating an immense local buzz, the trapper turned rapper has the ultimate cosign from Trey Songz, who comes from his hometown. Having served 4 years in prison, he details his story in his lyrics: from behind bars to becoming his own independent label owner.

Growing up during a time when everybody wanted to be the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Porter was always the cool kid who had all the nice clothes. Previously rapping under the name Lil Fresh, it was his friend Lala who gave him the name Fresh Porter in the MySpace days — and it’s stuck ever since. With Paid In Full being his favorite film, and Rich Porter being his favorite character, there was no looking back.

Standing as his own boss and CEO of N$G Records, Porter has been keeping busy working with everyone from Boosie and Pusha T to Dolph and Rich The Kid.
