RocStarRadio & DJHustlaP present Dizzy Maine

Darien Castro was born January 25th 1989. Growing up in the 90's was like being hip hop's younger brother. When his ears could first recognize sound-waves they heard biggie on the radio. A young Darien Castro was raised by a single mother after his father was deported from the states when he was only a baby. It wasn't easy growing up with a mother recovering from addiction and having close to nothing. Struggling to fit in with what seemed like rich classmates in a catholic school young Castro turned to hip hop and exercise as an outlet and honestly a companion. At a very young age he learned to be very independent as he watched and learned from the mistakes from his family and community (Boston area, Chelsea, Malden to Melrose). Every Wednesday during English class was poetry day. At age 12 he was expelled from the catholic school for writing a hate-poem insulting a classmate. Little did he know this was his first diss-rap. After being expelled he went on to public high school in Melrose MA. With a much older mind he often felt like he didn't belong doing the "same old". He played sports, had girlfriends and overall had an enjoyable high school experience. There is no doubt that walking down the hall he would have his headphones plugged in bumping either Eminem, 50 Cent or Lil Wayne. Trouble with the law delayed his graduation and he didn't transfer to a four-year college when all his friends did. This set-back left him in his home-town forced to go to Community College. With what seemed to be wasted talent and skill he finally turned to making his own music. The rest is history in the making.
