Beanie Sigel, born Dwight E. Grant on March 6, 1974, is a rapper from South Philadelphia. Sigel started his music career in the late 1990s, signing with Roc-A-Fella Records, an American record label founded by Jay-Z. As a young boy, Sigel’s life was far from easy, growing up in South Philly’s projects surrounded by poverty and violence. Despite his circumstances, however, he found solace in writing rhymes and soon began to develop his skills as an emcee. He developed a passion for music at a young age and began rapping in local clubs by the age of 13.
He was later discovered by fellow rapper Jay-Z and signed to Roc-A-Fella Records, where he released his debut album “The Truth” in 2000. His raw and gritty style quickly gained him a reputation as one of the most talented lyricists in the game. Despite his success in music, Sigel has had a turbulent personal life, including multiple run-ins with the law and battles with addiction.
