Hello! I'm Staxx Cordero, and my passion for hip hop began in my teenage years and has never wavered. I've graced many stages and had the honor of opening for iconic artists like Busta Rhymes and Rakim. I’ve also written a song for legends MC Lyte and D Nice. I've also been featured on "Best of Showtime At the Apollo" as "one of the best artists to ever grace the Apollo stage. My memoir, titled "I Am Relentless," is available on Amazon, and I have a film of the same name streaming on Tubi. Currently, I appear in several web series, movies and am actively writing films, books and developing a reality TV show.
