In Harlemworld USA, rhythm and charisma are basically birthrights and Chy Boogie has both in spells. So much so that he adapted the name “Boogie” growing up. Ask what it means and he’ll flat out tell you “I got the moves.” Born Chayanne Alfredo Hidalgo. The Harlem bred rapper and poet was raised in a somewhat sheltered home. Being exposed to both drugs and violence at an early age. Chy saw first hand the things he knew he wanted stay away from. But unlike a lot of his peers, he knew exactly how he would do it. Initially a dancer, Boogie began writing poetry soon after his father passed away. As a way to cope with his pain. Maintaining that identity as a poet throughout high school, he decided to pursue music as a way to push himself into another realm of writing.
