Unsigned Hype: FlexTwoTime
Always great to know someone whose hardworking and ambitious. Someone whose busy working and climbing their way to the top. Bronx native rap artist FlexTwoTime is a perfect example. Born Juan Torres on January 6th, 1993, to both a stepmother and father who have street smarts but used their street smarts to take care of him and made sure he never needed for anything. Before taking an interest in doing music, Torres has a huge love for football but it wasn’t until the murder of his brother Earl aka UE, that made Torres officially want to be an artist. He claims his biggest influences are his late great brother and the legendary DJ KaySlay. The murder of his brother made him take a serious route in music after 2016 and his brother was also a member of Highbridge The Label, a popular label associated with the acts of A Boogie & Don Q. Torres was fortunate enough to even get his start in the game because of DJ KaySlay. Working for the legendary DJ himself and Shade45 back in 2018 gave him a chance to flex his skills as a video intern. Watching KaySlay conduct himself in a very professional manner he inspired him to want to do it himself. It was WillC, who works for KaySlay as a videographer, who helped Torres get started by believing in him and giving him that push he needed. Unfortunately, Torres didn’t work at Shade45 for long because he went to go finish his season playing football. He regrets not cancelling his football season to continue pursuing his dream job working with KaySlay and WillC. In the future, Torres sees himself as a successful artist while also having his music company to help him build more opportunities in the business.
