Биография

Highway sees himself as a bridge between worlds. The 24-year-old MC from Seattle, born Mekhi Rogers, is an extraordinary rapper with an inherent sense of melody that reverberates in every bar he spits. But he wants his music to transcend what genres can describe. He wants to show the hidden links between seemingly unrelated lineages, like the similarities he finds in the downcast grunge movement from his hometown in the ’90s and the narcotized rap that took over Atlanta in the mid-2010s. He’s been at these ambitious goals since he first began producing and writing songs at 17. Though his rapping came later, the malleable rising star’s recent string of singles show he can do a little bit of everything—and that he does it all extremely well.
