Chris was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. Having the passion for rhyming at an early age he stunned his female peers with much charm and wit. Chris first project was like any other starving artist all he had was a church mic and a basement, which later turned in to a more professional approach in 2006. He furthered and experimented with his projects “The City is Mine” later became two volumes. With all triumph and disappointments Chris put his life dreams on hold because of the death of close family members took hold to his soul.
He later begin to speak and write for several other artist in 2007, which lead back to his natural grind in 2010 with several albums that are highly impressive from “ Esteem”, “Growth”, “Power”, “Yoa Ming” and many more. Chris really took a toll with his song “Death of Swag“, which I believe is a bold statement to the game. Chris strives for originality in his music he stated in our interview that “It’s the meat of the song and not the chorus that makes the music great”.
With influences from his favorite artist such as NAS, Eminem, and Lincoln Park, Chris diversity is what makes him unique and set him apart from any other starving artist. Towards the end of the interview Chris gave many props to his manager Kyle Williams, and his Video Guru Josh Hernandez. He also shouted out his life time friends the Wolf pack and last but totally not least his number one fan; his queen Aonya.
