Anthony Daniel Elmore, otherwise known by his stage name as “Amiri Staqqs” or “Staqqs”;was born January 21, 2004 in East Oakland, California. He started making music at just age six and has only grown as an artist. He has stated that 10 artists have majorly influenced him coming up; those artists being 2pac, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey Hussle, Drake, J Cole, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Snoop Dogg and E-40. Amiri was arrested when he was 17 years old for a felony burglary charge. Initially, he was looking at around a year jail time. He says during this time he did the most thinking and writing he had ever done in his life. During a recent interview, he states “I fell into that wock and takin’ percs was killin’ me slowly”. That was exactly what was happening. Friends say one day he took four Percocet 30’s and drunk almost half a bottle of Wockhardt lean and fell unconscious for 17 hours. Some say they believed he was dead until they noticed the “slight breathing”. With that behind him, Staqqs looks to continue getting better in music. His first song ever was recorded on an LG stylo phone directly in the SoundCloud app. For the longest time, he wanted other people to his music more than he did. Now, he says he feels doing that was holding him back. He has a new attitude and the mindset of “I don’t care who doesn’t like my s***..I make music for me and because I’m passionate about it and have a story to tell.” Elmore looks to drop his first album later this year with just 4 features out of 17 songs. ‘The sky truly is the limit’ for this young rapper.
