Decreasing attention spans and increasing online media usage have created a new genre of artist deemed "college rap." The name springs from the overwhelming number of creative students who have been able to leverage their music through social media and on-campus groups. This new wave of artist uses guerilla marketing and word of mouth advertising tactics to create buzz throughout their local campuses. The problem with this movement is the lack of longevity and differentiation that exists in this realm.
Enter Hendersin. Never a slave to the industry nor a victim to the problem, Tyronne “Hendersin” Henderson attempts to defy the odds by offering a combination of intellect, emotion, fun, and artistic punch lines. He never wears the mask of others, crediting his hometown and life experiences for his continued rise.
Growing up in a small town in Western Massachusetts allowed Hendersin to shine in his community by way of academics, athletics, and the arts. After spending a year at Bridgewater State College, he decided shift his focus to music and put academics in his back pocket. Rather than moving to Boston or New York like most of his peers, he moved home to build a reputation in a relatively untapped market. Here, he teamed up with childhood friend Corey Ricketts, who had taken his training as a Sales and Marketing professional into the entertainment industry. This allowed Hendersin to focus on the music while Corey built a reputation.
Being local enabled word to travel fast and soon enough Hendersin was performing with the likes of Boston’s own - Mr. Lif, the lyrical - Immortal Technique, Jurassic 5’s - Chali 2na, Wu-Tang’s - Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa, Fablolous, Big Sean and others. Rather than take every show he could get, Hendersin focused his time on creating good music and soon began producing his own beats.
To date, Hendersin has compiled 6 mix tapes, most notably "No Rhyme Or Reason Vol. 2" which has gained over 10,000 downloads on Datpiff. Hendersin also independently released the album "Henny In Ya System" in September 2013 which peaked at number 85 on iTunes Hip Hop Album charts. In August 2014 Hendersin made his Billboard debut landing at the number 10 spot on Billboard's Next Big Sound chart. Hendersin is currently working on an album as well as booking a tour.

Hendersin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't even find a place to start
I'll be watching you my head and hard
Till it seems, I'll never know
How do you get it from the no-time-low
Hendersin:
Forget the past, really I don't know today
I think you should go away
Don't know where you need to be
I don't know what you see in me
But I think that it's ludachris
Ludacris that's etp
Your fraction of your friction is feedin' into addiction
Put me in my intuition, doesn't suffer from de-fission
My decision of revision has risen into a vision
Perceive like a position and thinkin' that a collision
Well it's eminent
Go and circle up in this b***h
You would think that eminent
And I think fault endin' it, pretendin' it
Really doesn't get to me, while lover, dresser, writer wait
And every single second, every moment, every night and day
That I try to convince you
Just to leave, but I think it's so simple
That we
Got to this crossroad, but I need to decide
Cause the pressures us to build
And you're way harder to hide and... Yeah
Chorus:
Praying won't do it
Hating won't do it
Drinking won't do it
Fighting won't knock it out
Of my head
Hiding won't hide it
Smiling won't hide it
Look I ain't tried it
Everyone's tried it out
It feels so hell
Hendersin:
You're the reason that I'm here
You're the reason that I'm gone
You're the reason that I'm right
You're the reason that I'm wrong
You're the reason that I love her
You're the reason that I hate her
You're the reason that I f**k her
You're the reason that I date her
You were everything I want
You were nothing that I need
You just won't fall back
You were nothing guaranteed
You're the reason with no purpose, s**t
It's still below the surface, s**t
They come and I emerged, s**t
Yeah they change when after work is you
Essentially question me, testin' me
Like you know what's best for me
My destiny, necessity, really not for the rest to see
And if you think it is
Well I think they get mistaken
You tryna backtrack on every step that I makin'
But if I said it I meant it, yeah
I won't let you take intro, Kendrick, yeah
And every time that I find this (boap?) arguing
I just wanna go and run away, I'm about to 'are you in', because
Chorus:
Praying won't do it
Hating won't do it
Drinking won't do it
Fighting won't knock it out
Of my head
Hiding won't hide it
Smiling won't hide it
Look I ain't tried it
Everyone's tried it out
It feels so hell
Bridge:
So when you gonna let me
When you gonna let me out, out
(4x)
And if you know (if you know)
How do you get it from an all-time low (time low)
All the seems like pieces
The only thing I'll never know
How do you get out, get out
(2x)
Outro:
Cause telling won't do it
Fire won't do it
You know you won't do it
Crying won't doubt it out
You know what was that (what was that)
You know when I think you're gone
*Fading away*
When I'm standing on the other line
(Mention?) another station
'Fore I let the world go butcher reputation
If you call me out girl
With the revelation
I was shot...
