Kontraban, born 02/10/83, is the real deal, the genuine article. He's a man of the many idea's that made his way up thru the streets, intimately familiar with its codes and its violence, but still, Kontraban, an incredibly intelligent and deliberate man, holds himself with a regal air as if above the pettiness which surrounds him. Couple his true-life hardship with his knack for addictive, syrupy hooks, it's clear that Kontraban has exactly what it takes to ride down the road to riches and diamond rings. Kontraban is real, so he does real things. Born in the Midwest dynasty during the late '80s, KONTRABAN lost those closest to him at an early age. Raised without a Mother, Kontraban's father, whose name carried weight in the street help develop morals for the man behind the mic "Kontraban". Kontraban always had elite friends such as, Devin Harris a (Famous basketball player), Rico Love (Famous Rapper), Coo Coo Cal (Famous Rapper) just to name a few. more
