South Side of Chicago, in a area known as the Wild 100s, Rise has grown into a real talented producer/lyricist. Coming from the rough gangs of Chicago is a direct result of why the rhyme to reason or reason to rhyme has come out to play. As a new thoroughbred evolves into the game wit cruddy beats, and real, raw life lyrics: Competition has a new face fa sho. Rise states: Its my belief that in order to become successful in a business you must learn every aspect of that business, so I did. With no hesitation, Rise has started his journey, on the move to NC where he and other Chi-town native Eric Dru Andrews have started their own underground label (Empire Entertainment). Living up to the name, he did just that bye purchasing studio equipment and began countless hours of working beats & rhymes. The streets being the background of rises caused the hustle to change from drugs to music, after a tragic death of two close friends lost to the game. Out of his studio, Rise has laid down countless tracks such as: Undisputed & The Life. Now with other artist & producers to add fuel to the fire, Empire is ready for any challenge that lies ahead. Relentlessly elevating his game & tactics, Rise is prepared to bring it to you, on his debut maxi, A Promise Made, and self titled album, Rise: A Promise Kept. Currently with his single Sipn Drinks (produced by Empire producer Trilla G) hitting the airwaves in Fayetteville NC, Raleigh NC, Baltimore MD, and Chicago IL, Rise is determined to make his impression known in the streets as well as internationally. The tag team production of Trilla G and Rise has also fueled the fire that this MC has to release. Now against all odds this young entrepreneur constantly is pushing the barriers backwards, as the music he continues to create keeps getting stronger. Displaying his lifes trials & tribulations on wax started as a vision then became a reality, and will get more interesting as the journey continues. With plans to blow Rise can be a top contender for icon status. With a smooth delivery, real concepts, and potential to have longevity in the music industry, you can definitely picture the future of Hip Hop with him in it for years to come.
