Born in England 20 years ago, raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY….Barnaby Collins had aspirations of going to college to play D-1 Basketball, but those plans were altered one night. “I realized that through my music I can reach millions all over the world and that alone was my deciding factor.” Scrap stated.

Starting with a next to nothing budget, Scrap then forced his way into the recording studio. One night particular, Scrap walked out of his house with his last $20.00. Needing 3 hours to finish some songs, Scrap walks to a near by celo game and puts his $20 down. After head cracking dudes for the next 30 minutes, Scrap takes his newly won $200 and gets on the train to his session.

It wasn’t long after sneaking into Underworld Studio in Brooklyn, that many witnessed his gift. Scrap quickly becomes a street favorite with his rhapsody voice and ability to push people’s buttons with his lyrical content. In 'Dead Beat Dad', he addresses the lack of a father in his home, but on 'Shinny Days' addresses the issue that tomorrow offers afresh start. "It’s insane that grown men can rap all day about diamonds on their neck, but neglect their children," Scrap stated. "That's not keeping it real. Real is Chinese food for dinner because there are no options, confused and battered women, but in the end we must find time to smile."

Beats were quickly provided and soon after, the media took notice. "He has that energy that reminds you of a young Ja Rule... But a lyrical content of a real polished artist like Saigon", stated Magazine writer Riker. "When he spits you can actually feel his words" states Kechi O. of X/O Promotions (Miami). "The flow is sharp, voice is raw, and together with his lyrics, makes him one to watch out for in the near future", stated Black Men’s and Juice Magazine writer Greg Figueroa. “That kid is just dope”, stated DJ Vlad International Mix Tape DJ, host of Hot in Here DVD, and Sirius and Power 105 radio DJ. “Everyday a new talent is born in NYC and Young Scrap is definitely one of them.” States Armen a/k/a Armeni Blanco Rap Us Magazine (France) / Photographer / Video Director

After releasing a collaborated CD with some fellow rappers in Brooklyn, It was now time to really venture out. That same drive has helped Scrap gain attention abroad, "He is now my other favorite rapper", stated Ammo of Rap US Magazine (France). With the French endorsement, French Producer, Chi provided the beats and Scrap released "Shinny Days" on the Maino and Tru Life hosted 'The Drama Setter', which is Frances largest distributed Mix Tape. Scrap's International popularity is ever so growing that Sky Rock Radio will add "Dead Beat Dad" on the air in Prime Time slots. Sky Rock Radio is France's largest radio station.

Finding his motivation from watching his mother hustle to keep a roof over his head and food on the table, Scrap knew that if she can succeed so can he. Learning from the likes of fellow Brooklyn artist Jay Z, Fabolous, Saigon   and Foxy Brown... Scrap understood that delivery is oh so important and worked on perfecting his delivery and flow. Britain birthed him, Brooklyn Raised him and now the streets await a new Prince from Brooklyn.
