Billy Cain... Harlem's Finest

=========================

Billy Cain, {William McCain} formerly known in the hip-hop community as Confucian, was born in Brooklyn, New York. He lived in the Fort Green neighborhood of Brooklyn during his early years, and at the age of 11, his family moved to uptown Manhattan. Currently, he resides with his mother and siblings in Harlem, New York City, where he has lived for the past 15 years. These years were critical to his development as a writer, a lyricist and an artist. Billy Cain writes, throughout my years uptown, I have seen a lot of things happen around me. Instances of drug sales and street violence that he saw in those years still pepper his lyrics. With the death of his older brother in 1992, Billy Cain's life was transformed. I have seen a lot of my friends die for stupid reasons, Cain said, throughout all the tragedies I have seen and faced, I realized that life was too short and that I must try to make the best of myself. With that motivation, Billy Cain went on to finish high school and graduate from Martin Luther King Jr. High School. Billy Cain has performed in various clubs in Atlanta, GA, Durham, NC, Baltimore, MD, Washington D.C., Allentown and The Poconos, PA, Lawrence, MA, and New York City, NY.
