Chrysanthemum aka The Ridiculed Leprechaun. Born in the Eastern Cape but grew up on the dusty streets of Guguletu, Cape Town since the year '85. In '92 Hip Hop found me. I've been with a large number of crews since then: Ghost Squad (8 Members), Mystic Nubians (Speculum and Cyclostome just to name some of the 35 members), Ultra Hi Frequecny with (Techno- logik and Planet Earth), Architypes (Otis and Hyphen aka Cryptic Chipmunk and later with X The 24th Letter), Platoon Dungeon Dwellaz with (Metabolism, Synthetic, Synchronize, Techno- Logik and later Paradox). Also Chrys is part of a large collective of heads from Gugs and Khayelitsha called
The Intellectual Seeds with crews and individuals such as: Steel, Maniac Squad, and huge bunch of hood heads and poets.
Damn man, to me Hip Hop is a journey and a school of life. I did my primary and high school in the ghetto. Hip Hop taught me to communicate, write and recite in English through ciphers and battles. My best friend (Techno- Logik aka Speech) is an MC and I met him in '96 at Club Angels. Fifth Floor, Foo Man Chu, Ghetto Pioneers and a whole lot of other cats were killing it back then.
I've been writing and reciting for almost 15 years now, but been a Hip Hop head longer than that though. I met my people from the Troop Fellowship around 2000. Recorded Homeopathy later to be known as "Hip Hop is not fashion, show kids", produced by Bryce a cat from France. I've also done a joint with Fungus The Mutated Lung, Meli (both from 5th Floor) and Purah (Life Forces but then was with a crew called the Unit of Light with D').
