Kyle Myricks aka Stalley is a rapper from Massillon, Ohio. Despite an aspiring basketball career, a sporting injury forced Stalley to quit ball and focus his career path towards music. In 2008 after connecting with Ohio DJ Terry Urban, he released his first mixtape Goin Ape (2008), shortly followed by MadStalley: The Autobiography (2009) and most recently Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music) (2011), which is named after the popular strip in Stalley’s hometown.
Signed to the Maybach Music Group, Stalley is currently on tour in Europe and when he passes through London, what better way to make his presence known than with a show sponsored by Trapstar London.
