Who Is Vado?
Teeyon Winfree, or best known as
Vado, is an American rapper from Harlem, New York City. He is best known
through his affilation with Cam'ron and Dipset.
Teeyon Winfree was born on March
13, 1985. He was raised in Harlem and grew up on 144th and Lenox and is of
Jamaican, St. Vincent, and African American descent. Winfree first started
writing at 16 and was influenced by the Big L, Ma$e and Cam'ron. At the age of
19, Vado appeared on a public access television show named "Mad
Ciphas." In 2008, he released tracks with childhood friend, Jae Millz.
Winfree's original stage name was MOVADO but later was shortened to VADO. Vado
is an acronym that stands for "Violence And Drugs Only."
In March 2009 a mutual friend
linked Vado with New York rapper and Dipset member Cam'ron who invited Vado to
come record music with him and after their first session Cam made Vado the new
keystone artist of his crew U.N. Vado officially released his long-awaited
debut mixtape Slime Flu on October 12, 2010 under Diplomat Records/E1 Music.
Vado is featured on the DJ
Khaled track "Future" with rappers Ace Hood, Wale, Meek Mill and Big
Sean, produced by Boi-1da, from Khaled's fifth studio album We the Best
Forever. In 2010, Vado's mentor and friend Cam'ron introduced him to
Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash, and Cam'ron and Dame were in talks of
The U.N. signing to the newly re-launched Roc-A-Fella. Dame saw a raw talent in
Vado that reminded him of Jay-Z in his early stages, and Vado signed with
Dame's subsidiary record label of Roc-A-Fella under DD172 named BluRoc. The
U.N. would also sign to BluRoc instead of Roc-A-Fella. This would be covered
under the Interscope Records umbrella.
After signing he would release
the critically acclaimed mixtape Slime Flu and the Bosses of all Bosses mixtape
with Cam'ron. He would then release the album Gunz n' Butta with Cam'ron in
April 2011. It would chart on the Billboard 200 at #78. On November 25, 2011 he
would release the second Slime Flu mixtape. In 2012 after remaining quiet for
awile Vado was granted a release from Interscope to return to the independents.
On January 22, 2013 Vado released his third instalment of his Slime Flu mixtape
series. (Read More)
