With the over-saturation of cookie-cutter rappers engulfing the air waves, the timing could not be better for the coming of Queens-born, Bronx-bred artist, CMR the Great. With unique lyrical style and versatility, CMR is poised to make his mark as an emcee, while bringing back an element of realism to HipHop, that made it such a respected genre of music at its early stages. Keeping lyrical content true to self, this young rapper taps into his inner most emotions to paint pictures of life, love, struggle and survival on the streets.While discovering his love for rap early on, a twelve-year-old CMR decided to follow in the foot steps of his then idol and fellow ‘Microphone Fiend’, Rakim. He honed his skills at a feverish pace and perfected his craft til he felt confident enough to showcase his talent among his peers. As his reputation as an rapper on the come-up grew, so did his love for the street life.“There’s a certain duality to the industry of rap and runnin’ the streets,” states CMR. “Both require a hustler’s mentality, and with that said. . .only the strong survive.” In an attempt to make music his main focus, CMR went down south. It was in Durham, North Carolina that this aspiring artist would exploit his skills and undeniable star-quality he possessed. He hustled his way in and signed to an independent label, where his single“Monet” reached the Billboard Top 20 list. While enjoying a certain level of success, CMR went through his share of ups and downs while signed. Unfazed by the adversity faced, he continued his hard work, making the studio his second home. Adding to his collection of bangersr are tracks such as “Cassius”, where the confident emcee gives you a realistic perspective of life through the eyes of his alter-ego Cocaine Cassius. He steps up the pace on “Ride for the Set”, where he states that, “_________”. On the track, “You and Ya Peoples”, CMR uses his gift of gab to smooth talk the ladies.“I ain’t tryin’ to reroute you, I’m just tryin’ to see what this can amount to,” he explains.With a brand new team behind him, known as Slow Budget Records, production from the Hot Block camp(Naughty By Nature, G-Dep and D-Dot), and management from the Nickel and Dime Music Group, CMR the Great a.k.a Cocaine Cassius is ready to make his presence felt whether you like it or not. With his overall musical message that, life is short, so handle your business before its too late, the time is now for the coming of greatness in one emcee. This force to be reckoned with is sure to become a permanent fixture in Rap. The game needs to get ready and brace itself for a new leader. . .CMR the Great. A permanent problem.For booking, contact Gov of Nickel and Dime Music Group @ 347.739.6462 www.SlowBudgetRecords.com
