The child of Ethiopian immigrants, Lavish is a young San Jose emcee with big aspirations. The up-and-coming rapper was raised in the Santa Teresa neighborhood and first took an interest in hip-hop in middle school, where he and his friends would spend their free time (and class time) engaging in rap battles with one another.
With influences including 2Pac, J. Cole, Mac Dre and Meek Mill, Lavish recently released a video for his song, “San Jose,” which honors the city he calls home.
