Young Rapper Gameboi Goes From Homework to Hip Hop
Gameboi has been rapping since third grade. His next mix tape “Young and Reckless” is to come out in May 2011.
Isaac Castor is a freshman at Saline High School and is very involved in the music world. Rather than playing in band or orchestra, Castor’s musical talent is focused on hip hop. In the hip hop world, Castor is known as Gameboi.
Because Gameboi has been able to capitalize on his talent at such a young age, he has the dual burden of dealing with his professional responsibilities as well as his teenage ones.
Being involved in hip hop has become a big part of his life, but it can be a distraction from the real world, “It’s hard to focus on school when I have a show one night, and a test the next [morning].” Working in school remains a priority for Gameboi as he balances both worlds.

On December 12, 2010 Gameboi opened for Mac Miller at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, and since then, has opened for Chris Webby and other popular rappers.
Music is a career Gameboi plans to pursue in the future.
“Posterchild” was Gameboi’s first mixtape released in 2010, and his next mixtape “Young and Reckless” is planned to release midway through 2011.
