Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Constant L. Burts got his start freestyling and battle rapping. As a kid he joined choirs and plays and performed at local talent shows — learning not just how to rap, but how to build a song.
His high energy and wordplay set him apart: the lyricism and double entendre of the old MCs, combined with the sound and hooks of the new ones. He has shared stages with Drake, Method Man & Redman, and Kevin Hart — and in Indianapolis, with Mark Battles at The Vogue — and his music has been in rotation on Power 92 (92.3) and WGCI (107.5) in Chicago. Alongside Saintman, he also performs as one half of Mountain Clan — a partnership that has taken their records to stages across the Midwest, including Sauce & Sounds 3D and Live From The 808 in Indianapolis.
Rough Journey Entertainment is Constant L. Burts's own brand — the name behind his music and his clothing line. He built it independently and runs it himself: the road in the logo is the same road that runs through this whole site.
