Khristopher DAndre Davis known by his stage name ''DeAndre aka Bigg Khrisco'' is an American Musician from Kansas City, Missouri who has been making music since 2005 professionally. He is currently unsigned and is self-publishing and distributing his music through his own label Merck Movement Entertainment.
Early Life
DeAndre was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri on July 2, 1989 at Truman Medical Center to Yancy Davis and Reggie Williams. As an adolescent, DeAndres love for music began to develop at the tender age of 4 years old. He was a huge fan of Master P and The No Limit Soldiers, Death Row Records, Bad Boy Records, Ruthless Records and numerous others growing up.
He attended Sanford B. Ladd African Centered Elementary School, Central Middle School and Central Senior Classical Greek and Computers Unlimited High School. He also received an Associate's in Arts degree from Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley and a Bachelor's In Liberal Arts from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Music Career
Beginning
At the age of 6, he and Frontline Da Menace used to create imaginary albums using paper that they cut into the shapes of actual CD layouts and compiled tracklists and even had their own make believe record labels. With these, they used to freestyle the imaginary songs while beatboxing their own instrumentals. As they did this, they even had a kayfabe Rap Beef versus each other as well as Killa Mafioso who just freestyled in a rocking chair.
In 2002, they moved to what they referred to as The Apartment with their uncle and brother MD3. While at the Apartment, DeAndre discovered the Sound Recorder program on MD3s computer and began to record on it to mainstream instrumentals. Killa Mafioso, Frontline Da Menace, Young Mike and a few other relatives joined him on this venture. This was the first time that they have recorded full albums and songs for their personal enjoyment. This was the start of their record label A.P recordz where MD3 was credited as the Executive Producer. This operation continued up until they moved out of The Apartment in 2005.
Formation of Original Recordz/Merck Movement Entertainment
In 2005, DeAndre AKA Bigg Khriscos mother purchased him a computer. On this computer, DeAndre installed the Fruity Loops program as well as the Cakewalk Sonar program. This was the official start of DeAndre's music career under his newly formed label Original Recordz (Now Merck Movement Entertainment), which was also the name of his makeshift imprint as a child.
On December 16, 2005, DeAndre released his first Official Mixtape entitled Too Crunk 4 T.V. He gave this mixtape away for free at his High School and gained support from his peers as an artist.
After the release of Too Crunk 4 T.V., DeAndre inked his first artist to Original Recordz, Killa Mafioso. When he inked Mafioso, he was in the works of starting his own label called Crime+Rate Recordz. Though he didnt have a recording studio, he did have two artists already in agreement of joining this label, Young Mike and Big Peezy. When he signed with Original Recordz, he merged his label with it bringing Young Mike and Big Peezy to the label as well. When DeAndre signed these guys who are all blood relatives, he started the group The Crime+Rate Gang with all label mates apart of it, with the name being an ode to Killa Mafioso's label namesake.
After this, DeAndre released his next two mixtapes The Merck Movement & "Crazy Smith-N-Wesson Toy, which were distributed the same way as Too Crunk 4 T.V.
DeAndre and his newly formed collective, The Crime+Rate Gang then released two group Mixtapes called Cerebral Assassinz 1 & 2-The Man Hunt, which gained rave reviews from their peers.
After the two group mixtapes, DeAndre released his first Studio Album containing all self produced original tracks titled The Godfather of War', which also received rave reviews from his peers. Next he released two mixtapes exclusively online via Soundclick called Tha Fat Folk Mayor & More Broke Dayz Than Rich Dayz which were not as successful as his previous projects due to lack of promotion and distribution.
Pinky of A Pimp and other Projects
In 2009, De'Andre released his Second and third official Studio albums. The first to be released was "Pinky of A Pimp", which released August 20, 2009 on the same day as Killa Mafioso's debut solo album "Broken Industry". Exactly a month after these releases on September 20, 2009, De'Andre released his third studio album "God's Gift To Women". These two albums were a different spin on De'Andre's style of music because Pinky of A Pimp was mainly devoted to his "pimp" persona and God's Gift 2 Women was devoted to love songs.
Disbandment of the Crime+Rate Gang
In 2010, De'Andre and Killa Mafioso came together and released their first collaboration album "Hall of Famerz", which was apart of a competition within the label versus Young Mike & Big Peezy who were now collectively D.H.B, who released their collabo effort Club Motivation on the same day as their adversaries/labelmates on February 24, 2010. These projects were created to see which of the two entities of the Crime+Rate Gang would sound better with each other without input from the other two members. This contest would also determine the fate of the C.R.G. and whether or not they would later reform based from fan votes of which entities project was better. The fans decided upon this so that the group could have a definitive conclusion to this debate and reemerge as a four man collective. However, due to lack of voting and fan support, the debate was never concluded and the Crime+Rate Gang was forced to disband.
The Prefatory of Posterity
After the separation of the Crime+Rate Gang, De'Andre aka Bigg Khrisco went back into solo ventures. He created and released a Three Part Box Set called "The Prefatory of Posterity" which contained a Mixtape, An EP and an Album. All three which were available for 100% FREE Download via the official "Prefatory of Posterity" website for a limited time. The Mixtape was the first to be released of this three-part set releasing on August 28, 2010. The EP was the second part of the Box Set to be released releasing on October 10, 2010 or as advertised, 10.10.10 or X.X.X. Finally, The Prefatory of Posterity: Tha Album released on November 30, 2010.
The entire collective consists of 49 tracks and a length of 143:49 altogether. It is currently available separately for 100% FREE download. The Mixtape was available on KCMixtapes.com, but has been removed for unknown reasons. The album and EP are still available however, on the official Merck Movement Entertainment YouTube channel as well as full downloads via MediaFire.com.
Post Prefatory of Posterity and Current Projects
Since the release of The Prefatory of Posterity, De'Andre has released an array of mixtapes and EP's, as well as studio albums including the two 2008 recorded albums, "The Rebellion" and "The Donkey Kong Album", as well as BLACK ART in early 2018, and most recently "TRIGGERhappy" which served as his first official Mini-LP.
De'Andre aka Bigg Khrisco has announced many projects, which have seen no light of day. However on the Outro of "TRIGGERhappy", he announced an upcoming series for the end of 2018, which has no official title yet; as well as his next official studio album titled "The Greatest INVALID , which is slated to drop in mid-2019.

Philanthropy
De'Andre was a helper in registering non-partisan voters for the 2008 presidential campaign. He was a helper to his mother Yancy, who registered over 1000 people to vote for this election in Kansas City, Missouri. Though he and his mother registered non-partisan voters, they both were avid Obama endorsers.
All of this was done with his mothers non-profit organization Iron Sharpens Iron Organization, Inc. He even helped with a birthday party/performance for comedic legend Dick Gregory's 76th Birthday. The event was also a fundraiser for the Obama campaign titled, "Wit, Wisdom and The White House".
