DESCRIPTION:
Born in San Antonio, Texas, Chuuwee has been rapping since he was only thirteen. Influenced by his mother and many great mc's like Jay-Z, Outkast, UGK, and others, Chuuwee blends the borders of underground, backpack hip-hop, and mainstream rap. Since his rise, many people have tried discouraging Chuuwee, claiming he wasn't built to create music and he didn't have what it took to be successful. However, negativity hasn't slowed him a bit, opening for revered artists like Mistah F.A.B., Rakim and Rhymefest in Los Angeles, California fuel his fire and are evidence that Chuuwee can definitely hold his own. He is already building quite the reputation throughout Northern California. Beyond his love of making his own music, everything from writing to producing, Chuuwee also enjoys sharing his thoughts and seeing how people react to his ideas. He has a true passion for performing and supports the mentality that if your live performance isn't any good, then your music won't matter at all.

Chuuwee's Crown Me King mixtape serves as the prelude to his long-awaited official solo-debut, Wild Style, which will be released on May 29th, 2012 via Amalgam Digital*. Whereas Chuuwee's previous efforts were hybrid sub-genres he created such as "neo-boombap" (neo-soul meets boom-bap) or "hooliganarism" which Chuuwee describes as Treach of Naughty By Nature meets Wakka Flocka Flame, Wild Style can be summarized as pure 90s hip-hop, where he is taking the classic elements of the golden era with the look, sound and the feel and then applying them to the present day. Inspired by Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, De La Soul with even hints of DMX, Wild Style promises to be Chuuwee's break-out project, one that will showcase him as being a frontrunner lyricist from hip-hop's new school; while also paying homage and respect to the great pioneers of the 1990's. "Wild Style is the album that's going to eradicate weak rap off the face of the map. It is the return of real hip-hop. It's pure, and it's not me trying to re-make it. It's not me telling you its 90s hip-hop; it is 90s hip-hop" says Chuuwee.

(*note: after this interview was conducted, Wild Style was pushed back and is now supposed to be released this summer. Chuuwee stated via Facebook, "WILDSTYLE! IS BEING PUSHED BACK FOR SUMMER 2012. I know I know some of ya'll gone hate me for this. The fact of the matter, however, is that it's just not time yet. I want to get BIGGERR BETTER features...")
