Hungry?......Have a snickers......

Everyone Hates Chris......


Meet Chris Shields, born and raised in Maywood, IL. Product of a single parent home, but thanks to a strong woman Chris is here today. He started off as young charismatic prep basketball player and found himself in a place some might call the “Trap” as a small time hustler. Through out life Chris was always passionate about music and the release of the Blueprint by Jay-Z in 2001 brought out a hunger to rhyme. So young Chris would construct a flow he could call his own from sun up to down on the corner of 6th and Walnut while making a few dollars. As Chris continued to hustle and found himself falling deeper into the “Trap”, he smartened up and used his basketball skills to put himself through school. A basketball scholarship and education from one of the best Private institutions in the nation, Mckendree University, gave Chris time to reflect. Also gave him time to polish his flow. Upon completion of school in 2006 Chris headed back to Maywood ready to make his embark on a musical journey that would open the eyes of everyone in Chicago. But every path has its bumps and he sure had his. Fast forward to August 29th, 2007 when Chris recorded the 1st song, “Smiling Faces”, for his then untitled street album. The song caught the attention of a lot of ears and on September 30, 2007 he shot the video for it and the rest is history.
