Image
B/Chriss is a 25 year old hip hop artist born and raised in Rossville, GA. Chriss draws inspiration from his faith, life experiences, and his love for "old school" hip hop. As a kid, Chriss listened to artists like RUN DMC, 2Pac, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Notorious BIG, LL Cool J, Naughty By Nature and Ice Cube.  The boom-bap sound and intricate rhyme schemes quickly caught his creative streak and Chriss set out to make music that would be nostalgic as well as share his passion and love of the message of Jesus. His goal is to share God's love and passion through hip hop while bringing something new to the table.  Chriss is constantly experimenting with his sound to bring something innovative and fresh.

All.Above.North Featured In #LOV3RZ Magazine August Edition!

Image
My name is JT and I am a Christian. I love music, and I love serving God through music.   That is why I started ‘all.above.north’.   ‘all.above.north’ is a Christian music project committed to sharing personal testimony about God through music.   The extract below is a little bit of the story of how I got here... Going into Christmas 2014, I was a ‘luke-warm’ Christian, I was in a job that I didn’t enjoy and I was struggling with the sudden onset of what I believed to be career related anxiety and stress – then God made his move. Now in the background to all this I was composing - so much in fact that in early 2015 I began to dream about doing music full time. I imagined getting a record deal and then going into my boss’ office with my resignation, safe in the knowledge that I was getting paid for my music.  But still all this composing was just dabbling in the process of recording music and the idea of making a Christian album never entered my mind. However ...

Young C Featured In #LOV3RZ Magazine August Edition!

Image
Born and raised in Southern California, Young C bounced around from Riverside, Las Vegas, and Anaheim before finally settling in Beaumont, Ca. Chris has been rapping since 06’ and has been having minor success in the secular genres. Performing at regional venues and occasionally featured with local established artists, it was expected that Young C would be the next big name out of SoCal.  In 2009, an unorganized mixed cd landed in the hands of a major label signed group. With their guidance and direction, Young C released his first major project entitled Phor Groath (“for growth”) in fall of 2011. The goal was to capture the personal growth of Chris as an artist, father, and a man. The reaction to this mixtape was bigger than expected as it sparked acknowledgement by the likes of 99.1 KGGI’s radio personality ODM. It was clear that Chris had just barely scratched the surface. As years passed, Chris’ versatility began to grow. With a foundation of hip-hop, his rugged sound bega...

After recording Feather In The Sky, Michael Heinzelmann, Jack Scannell and I decided to follow it up with another song! I heard another track Mike and Jack done, and asked them immediately if I could put vocals and lyrics to it. They said sure, go for it, and I came up with Make It Fast, a song about doing wrong and dancing with the devil, Make It Fast means you better RUN TO GOD for forgiveness!  When I hear the music they have, lyrics always come quickly (I feel it instantly!!!) So, once again Mixed and Mastered by Cedrick D. Mack, and a cool video done by Kellie Leigh (Yeah Yeah!!!)  We all were quite pleased!!! International collaborations are a beautiful thing, so many people worldwide have great music, Michael and Jack's happens to be Hip Hop Jazz!!! Being from New Jersey and growing up listening to the finest R&B groups and vocalists, and some of the most creative bass lines ever heard, Michael Heinzelmann definitely knew what he was doing...
