Bio
Onionpires raps and builds beats out of The Hague, born and raised in Betim, Brazil. Boombap and rap are the foundation, then he throws in electronic textures and Latin rhythm because staying in one lane is boring. Everything is self-made: beats, mixes, videos, rollout. No label, no ghostwriters, no committee.
