Born in 79 on Chicagos south side and inspired by artists like Tupac, Al Green, Redman, and Jim Morrison, Chad Heslup, a.k.a. LongShot, first published Scream of the Butterfly, a book of poetry, in 99 followed by a 12" with DJ Anomaly entitled Happiness is Hard to Find in 02. These releases paved the way for his debut album Open Mouths Fed and vinyl 12" single "Pretty Brown Skin" in '03. His sophmore album "Sacrifice" came out on Molemen Records in '04, along with his third single "Never Go Slow." His motivation and drive to succeed as an artist defy the name "LongShot."



The oldest of six siblings, LongShot and his family moved throughout his childhood from Oakland, California to Fort Worth, TX, and back to Chicago. Eventually, the family was split up by DCFS and LongShot moved to a group home. His life experiences in the streets of America struggling to be a role model for his brothers and sisters are the main themes and inspirations for his lyrics; his honest and potent delivery is accessible to listeners of any musical genre.
