Eddie Somerset is more than just your typical rap artist from Philadelphia. He is the poster child for perseverance through pain. His style is unique, his energy is contagious and his words are as real as the streets of North Philadelphia. His writing began as an outlet, a resource needed to escape the craziness of the world that surrounded him. It quickly transformed into a love affair with expressing himself through words. He was raised in a hiphop atmosphere with his older brother NorthStar Teff, cousin PokerFace Of Philly and close friend Chris Bugz living rite next door he didn't have to look far to learn how to perfect his craft. Eddie Somerset joined forces with King Teff and Chris Bugz to form a group called the C.U.P Family. They released their debut mixtape titled "Family First" early 2011 on datpiff.com . The C.U.P Family recently signed a contract with M.I.E music group formally known as DrahmaMusick/IslandDefJam for Their single "Fight" produced by Middle Finga Marc which is set to be released on the Ray Daniels project...
