At 13, Chainz finally put pen to pad and transformed his poetry into lyrical verses with potent punch lines. The Atlanta rapper has a melodic and lyrical flow that is rare in hip hop today. Born in the early 90’s Chainz draws his influences from all genres of music but highlights lyricist Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and Joyner Lucas as his primary influences. As an advocate for mental health, Chainz and his Anxiety Music Brand are bold and unapologetic. Chainz burst on the scene with “The Real Rap Devil,” a diss track aimed at MGK just over 4 years ago. Jumping to 9,000,000 views within a month, and almost 2 million streams on Spotify Chainz and his catalog truly exploded from there. His first EP, Book of Shadows Chapter 1 has received hundreds of thousands of streams and his single “Havoc” has almost hit the 1,000,000 million mark on YouTube. This dark and mysterious lyricist gives fans a different perspective as he not only shows his passion and drive for success but gives fans and listeners an inside look into the mental costs of devoting oneself to accomplishing their dreams, and to not stop grinding no matter what it takes.
