Semantics Music (US)
Watup, my name is Chris Rich and I am an aspiring emcee from Boston. I listen to only real hip hop, not most of the BS you hear on the radio or see on television. I love underground rap, the type of music that stays true to yourself and individuality. I started rhyming in the summer of 04, which is about the time I discovered real types of artists. Since then, it has occupied my life 24/7/365 and it became my life itself. I read hip hip hop, I listened to hip hop, I constantly thought about hip hop, I NEEDED hip hop. At the beginning of '05 I felt as if something was missing. I became a lot more vocal, more intimate with the pen and paper, and it all came together. Semantics was born.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've done a little here and there, nothing that special as of yet.

Any cat off the street can make music and say that they are forreal, but it's the ones that stay true to themselves that pursue and are dedicated enough to actually make it.

Peace,
-Semantics
