Every generation has their hip-hop heroes. Kendrick Lamar and J Cole may soon be passing the baton to the next in line.

Chris Case, a prodigy in Charlotte’s second largest satellite city, Gastonia, was home to many struggles and traumatic experiences in is younger days. His battle with child abuse being one of the more traumatizing ones that made him who he is today. With little outlet to release all he felt inside, he turned to the one thing that was slowly brewing beneath the surface waiting to be molded; his versatility with words. With a devoted and supportive father always by his side, the rest depended on his will to overcome and not be a statistic to his experiences.

Chris would immerse himself in writing and practicing lyrics. It started with his deeper introduction to rap by his older brother Derrick , which led to him developing a connection with iconic artists like Nas, Tupac, Biggie, OutKast, T.I., and Jay-Z in High School. But, the changing tide that inspired the immaculate lyricism he has developed was his meeting with Kendrick Lamar’s and J Cole’s “Section 80” and “Friday Night Lights” respectively. The topics, bars, and cadence of the two was everything he loved about hip-hop, which has been a fuel for his dedication to mastering his own style of rapping.

Chris took his passion seriously, writing and practicing even when on the school bus. For him, it was more than simply rhyming, it was his way of moving ahead in life. Of all the things he’s endured, hip-hop was the light at the end of the tunnel. Chris would spend countless hours improving the quality of his lyrics and delivery, wrapping each line in emotion and depth from all of his experiences. His range of subject matter was ahead of his time. Whether about love, bullying, or even his childhood abuse, music was the escape to rise above his past and become to honed lyricist he aimed to be. The end result of his conviction to evolving his music was the creation of a conscious rap artist who raps over boom bap beats with undeniable versatility and fluidity. Chris found his lane and doubled down on his grind to make the boom bap conscious style and craft intrinsic to him. Overtime, Chris’ popularity and name gained attention for the level of wit and creativity to which he pens his bars. He has steadily risen as a conscious rap artist, who like his inspirations Kendrick and Cole has become known for his hard-hitting rap verses and amazing vocals.

He wishes to use his life and talent as a way to make an impact on his audience.
