Born in Hamilton, ON and raised in neighborhoods throughout Toronto's west end, Aaron "N-R.I.M.E.S" Burnett was exposed to many criminal activities in the Jane & Finch environment. However, he did grow up in a strict family-oriented household which kept him stable and away from crime. With all his free time he then grew to have a passion for Hip-Hop. Rimes started writing raps at the age of 11 and began performing in church with gospel rap. This was where his name originated and where he gave himself a sense of meaning as an artist. R.I.M.E.S (pronounced: rhymes) stands for "Representing Israelites and Minorities Educating Students" The rappers who inspired this upcoming artist were mainly his two uncles in his church, where he watched them perform and admired their style. He eventually started making music more about his everyday life. In addition he never forgets to acknowledge others such as Big Pun who had a big influence on his rhyme scheme. Other influences include Cool Moe Dee, Nas, Cassidy and Dipset. Time went on, and through the ups and downs of his life he did not stop writing. Furthermore, N-R.I.M.E.S continually progressed in mastering his craft of storytelling. One thing that never fails in every song that he's put out is his flow, creativity, plus the catchy hooks that can't be ignored. At 21, now residing in Brampton, he's prepared to show the game his musical diversity. It might be hard to realize, but he is a whole lot more than JUST a rapper. Rimes proves his great versatility with his ability to produce instrumentals, write poetry as well as write songs for most genres of music.
