Rocky aka Chris is an upcoming artist residing from Toronto, Canada. He isn’t what most think of when they hear the word “Rapper” as to be another follower to the trend. He also produces beats. He is not know to many but known to some, being his peers and family, which show him nothing but support as he had his first overseas performance in Cuba. Rocky is not your typical knockout champ and having been rewarded the name, it was given by peers in his early years. His flow follows influences of Kanye West (College Dropout days), Talib Kweli, and Common. Rocky has produced for Brandy Norwood “Something’s Missing (Remix)” which was heard by TC (Original Songwriter), and co-produced for local artist Yung Jixx on his Monster Track “YB 4 Life”. Check out more about him at www.twitter.com/itsjuschris & www.myspace.com/listen2mastermindz.

Over the years my musical influences have changed along with my own music. As a kid my favorite rapper was a then seventeen year old Lil’ Wayne, his delivery was unique and captivating. Long story short he made me want to do more than just rhyme but to actually be good. As I grew so did my tastes and I began listening to Nas. Along side Nas, guys like Joe Buddens and Kanye West (Dropout Ye) were part of the reason I began to take the time to actually think out and write down my lyrics, ideas such as hmm…I don’t know..MAKING SENSE started to matter to me now more than just putting words together. Just to go back though, after the whole Ether/Takeover thing, I finally decided to lend an ear to Jay-Z and I must say that I learned a lot studying his lyrics. Of course I listened to the legends like Biggie, Pac, Pun etc. So I don’t even need to go there on the influences tip because you probably already know anyway. Last but not least MYSELF, I couldn’t improve on anything if for some reason I thought that I was the best rapper ever which I’m not(and that’s why I keep working). So to wrap this up, these are my influences.
