We Support Local Music: Foster Holmes (North Carolina/Florida))



Foster Holmes f. Supastar J. Kwik - LOL (On My Sidekick)




Who is Foster Holmes? He represents the cool, the fly, the swagger that we all possess. 24 year old Foster Holmes is from a small city in North Carolina known as Fayetteville where he wears the title of "a promised up and coming". With a creative and innovative style Foster brings a blend of lyricism and whit to the hip hop industry.

He is also inspired by other genres of music such a R&B, Pop, Reggaeton, and Rock. He feels there is no specific style of music that he should solely stick to. Foster is making the young, fly college boy image look good and uses that as his niche to captivate the attention of his listeners. Hip hop as we know it has changed and he feels that some of the essential elements of the game are missing. Being able to be lyrical and drop a song with a message or story versus making a hot club banger is a very difficult task which most artists have not mastered, but Foster is easily able to switch back and forth as he sees fit making him an even more valuable asset to the music industry.

Why is Foster Holmes so different compared to other artists? Foster isn't the average hip hop artist that goes with what's in, he always dares to stand out. There are so many people lying about the stuff they do, especially in the hip hop industry. He feels that everybody can't be selling dope or shooting people. So who's making hot music for the club or giving you something to vibe to when you need food for your soul? Foster Holmes. He appeals to everyday people who work, go to school, and aspire to make something of themselves. The streets and the corporate society both demand him so he makes sure that his product is for various audiences including the kids. From being on radio interviews to doing shows Foster Holmes is able to stand out and bring that extra boost in creativity that seems to be absent from the hip hop industry.

Hard work and determination are the two forces that drive Foster's work ethic and he continues to strive on honesty and passion in order to stay afloat in this business of entertainment. Watch Foster Holmes blossom from a local artist to a mainstream celebrity almost over night.
