Lamar Cole hails from Athens Alabama. Growing up in an adopted home, Lamar was dealt an unfortunate hand from the beginning. During his childhood he endured placement in 26 different foster homes after his parents gave up on him at birth. During this difficult time in his life, he made a number of unfortunate choices that ended with a stint in prison. While incarcerated, he found his faith and a new way of life. “Without music, I would not have been able to keep sane,”Lamar recalls. “Music was my medicine, my psychologist, my method of venting my frustration and pain.”

Lamar began taking his music seriously after his release and developed a new genre that he calls Transitional music, influencing young lives in a positive way. “I want to help kids reach their dreams,”he continues. I am using my gifts to give back and institute futures. By that, I mean helping kids lay solid foundations to achieve their goals and their dreams.”

Lamar has worked with Island Def Jam Records, 100 Percent Entertainment, Hitmakah Muzik, Slow Motion Sounds, Mazerati Records and YAK Records. He has also opened for 6 Tre G, Charlie Boy Gang, Future, & M.E (Dance Like A Stripper) Ty Dollaz (Wiz Khalifa's Artist) & Rich Homie Quan! Additionally, he has worked with a number of award winning producers including Carlos Wilder, Canita Rogers, Block Beattaz, O' Third Ent. Wade L. Brown and Ashthon Jones.
