Chris notes[edit]
The main thing I want for the page is to document my work that is on the resume.
He also had an article featured on him in the leading hip hop magazine XXL in 2002 {{citation}}: Empty citation (help).
He has no specific characteristics as far as producing goes. "I do not believe in that. I believe the best complement you could give me is not knowing that I produced a particular song. "I can make any style of music and pride myself in not having a signature sound."
