COURTLANDT AVE STATE OF MIND

Larry “Cardier The Don” Duhon was born in and raised in the Melrose Section of the South Bronx. Its fair to say that “Cardi” has gone through plenty and much more then what the average man experiences. He grew up on Courtlandt Avenue, a infamous drug hub in the South Bronx infested with plenty drugs and violence. At a young age Cardi picked up on his surroundings, and quickly jumped into the fire with the wolves. At the age of 14 Cardi got signed with two of his neighborhood and life long friends to Teddy Riley under Interscope. Still in the streets, and trying to pursue a rap career, Cardi felt more in his lane staying in the streets and only took rapping as another hustle. When he was arrested and thrown into Spofford Juvenile Center at the age of 15,his contract with Interscope and Teddy Riley was cancelled.


When he came back home, his only sights were hitting the streets and to only go harder then he had gone before. It was until Cardi was in his early 20s when his life changed and took five bullets, including one to the spine, which nearly left him permanently handicapped and not able to walk. By the grace of God and a lot of inner strength, Cardi was able to rehabilitate, not only physically but mentally too. He knew he had to pursue something besides the streets, and that was when he decided to take his rapping talents to another level. He linked up with life long mentor and friend, Aqil Davidson formerly of the multi platinum rap group Wreckx N Effect.

Aqil provided Cardi a place to record, and also a place under his wing, teaching him how to critique and master his skill. Since then Cardi has been producing good music, being able to take anyone’s tracks and make it sound like his own. Cardi was also under a management group, 50/50 Management where they were able to get Cardi on two separate tours including the NBA National Tour and BET tour.

Team revamped, and flow perfected Cardier is back at it, solidifying his place amongst NYC's best. With the Money Men Gang/ Money Mayhem Movement behind him, you can expect big things from Cardier da Don.
