Name: Mi$tro
Age: 22
Hometown: Caroline County, VA
I grew up listening to: Jay Z, Cash Money, Lil Boosie, 50 Cent.
Most people don’t know: I make beats. I’m premiering some of my production for the first time on The Commonwealth 2. Also, I engineer a majority of my sessions.
My style’s been compared to: I’ve heard Kevin Gates, Jeezy, & Ace Hood before. Most likely because of my references to the streets.
My standout records and/or moments to date have been: My biggest standout moments to date are my performance at SXSW earlier this year and linking with Skrillex. I learned a lot from watching Sonny [Moore]. My standout records are “Caroline,” “Hold That” with Fat Trel and Yung Nilo and “New Jack City.” My new song “Bandz” is going crazy in the streets right now, so that’s standing out as well.
My goal in Hip-Hop is: My goal is to make an impact on the game. I want to be people’s motivation.
I’m gonna be the next: Mi$tro, I want to leave my own legacy. - XXL - Eric Diep

Bio
In life, it's hard to find an individual who gives hope to the hopeless and provides inspiration to the uninspired; for the state of Virginia that person is Stephon Manuel aka "Mistro". Raised in Caroline County, nicknamed "Cocaine County" due to the heavy amount of drug trafficking going on, Mistro found a way to escape the harsh realities of his environment and transition himself into a rising rap superstar.
Mi$tro had his first SXSW experience in 2015, being a headliner for a show sponsored by DigiWaxx & HipHopSince1987. This performance at SXSW gained the attention of EDM Mega-Star Skrillex & Roc Nation's Phines West. Phines invited Mistro to New York for several studio sessions, shortly thereafter, Skrillex invited Mistro out to one of his concerts.
His work ethic is displayed through his music campaign, "One Fan At A Time" is the motto he uses to describe his mind state. At the A3C Festival this past fall, Mi$tro was able to receive a Jay Electronica cosign upon meeting him before a show along with a what-he-calls life changing conversation.
Mi$tro has now started off 2016 in the right direction with help from major blogs such as Vibe, XXL, HipHopDX, & The Source and now recently signing with Ichor Music Group. He is currently on a nationwide tour as support for King Lil G's Lost In Smoke 2. The attention he is receiving gets larger by the days now and he just takes it all in stride.
