Theophilus London

Theophilus London 

Description: Like Nicki Minaj, Theophilus London is also an musician native to Trinidad. However, unlike Nicki he keeps his music somewhat traditional. Though hes a rapper and singer he makes his music videos psychedelic which is highly regarded in soca. His music is far more innovate than that of his islands but his aspirations are much of the same. They his fellow musicians back home he is very eccentric and far from the norm. He picks up influences from Kanye West to Wacka Floca Flame. The video on the bottom truly exemplifies his creativity. 

Evaluation: The article mentioned above shows how like most Trinidadians Theophilus had struggled to reach success. At the end his story became another one in the books. As for his creativity one can see his roots and really shaped the path to his music. Though he was raised in Brooklyn, London's heart is beating to the rhythm of his four fathers.
