For most people, it would've been a solid game plan -- graduate high school and move on to college. But for Symmetry, that wasn't the way the game was supposed to be played.The 22-year-old rapper, born and raised in North Providence, threw away an acceptance letter to a university in Florida, opting out of his initial plans to obtain a degree focusing on his animation skills. It was a bold move, and one that he made in hopes of furthering his other passion -- music.To date, the move has paid off. Releasing his first cd, Cat Drop Complex, in May 2005, Symmetry sold nearly 1,000 copies out of his back pack. The 19-track effort helped him gain attention in areas such as Germany, Seattle and Maryland -- all of which have hosted him for several shows -- and afforded him the opportunity to tour in Canada with indy rap favorites Busdriver and Motion Man.On March 2, 2006, he released Dusty Pickup, his second full-length CD . The 18-track album is the latest release from Poorly Drawn People, the Rhode Island-based hip hop label.Produced entirely by label mate dox, Dusty Pickup represents a more personal, mature effort from Symmetry. Shunning the cliches that have become staples of hip hop music, Symmetry tackles concepts including failed love, a friend's drug addiction and his own mortality.
