Innanet James (born December 30, 1995), known only by his onstage moniker, is an American Rapper, producer, and songwriter based out of Montgomery and Prince Georges counties in Maryland. He is most renown for the single "Bag" from his second album, Keep it Clean, which was featured on Madden 19, although he received a considerable amount of publicity for his single, "Black", which was featured on his first EP "Quebec Place". He is easily recognized by his extraordinarily engaging rhythm and unique rhyming style, which has been compared to that of Vince Staples[1]. James is currently signed to Rostrum Record. He has performed with Bas on the Milky Way tour throughout North America and EarthGang throughout Europe.

Personal Life

Innanet James was born and raised between Montgomery and Prince Georges County, Maryland and Washington DC. James has stated that Lil Wayne's mixtape Da Drought 3, particularly the "Upgrade U" freestyle was the most influential record in molding his career as a rapper.[2] He draws inspiration from the Wu Tang Clan, 50 Cent, Amy Winehouse, and Smokey Robinson, but typically writes what was in his environment. Before finding success within the rap industry, James worked at a DSW and took graphic design classes. He is very vocal of his distaste for acting US President, Donald Trump and has expressed interest in the political campaigns of Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders.
