His talent and Career
Lil’ P-Nut is gifted with the art and skill of rapping. While at school, he used to rap about many things. His raps were original and on the beat. Though he has got an adorable and child-like face, his wordplay is more mature. Lil’ P-Nut states:

He used to post a lot of stuff on YouTube and also perform in barber shops and talent shows. ‘He had also done a commercial for ‘It’s All Good Auto Sales’.

“I got all these phone calls from people saying, ‘You ‘gotta hear this rapper,’ I just ignored them. What was I going to do with a 7-year-old rapper? One day, someone put Lil’ P-Nut on the phone. He rapped about God and education. I had him come to see me in Atlanta two days later.”
Impressed by him, Marcus called up Meda Leacock in New York who later became Lil’ P-Nut’s New York agent. Ellen DeGeneres also invited him on her show.
He made his first original rap ‘You Might Be the One for Me’ which was highly appreciated by all. Everyone found him very charming. If one talks to him, he sounds like an adult but when he is with children of his age, he behaves like them. This flexibility is amazing.
