Born in the Virgin Islands but raised in New Orleans, Crix Green, like many artist, became interested in hip-hop watching and listening to some of the legends of the industry. For Crix, it was 2pac and his songs "Pain". Crix admired his rapping style and the authenticity of his lyrics to his lifestyle. Crix says that watching 2pac as well as other rappers tell their personal stories through hip-hop caught his interest. At the age of 20, Crix felt like “I had to go with my move, so I started dealing with music”. Highly Influenced by his surroundings, his authenticity in his lyrics comes from his real life and experiences and how he got to where he is today. “It’s all about growing up in the inner cities and the ghettos, and the struggle to make it out”. Which is why staying real and authentic is so important to this artist. Using his lyrics to tell stories about issues that helped form the hip-hop industry, Crix Green is dedicated to staying authentic to the issues. “The way I see it, there are three types of people in the music industry, real, fake and an entertainer. I want to be remembered as real. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. Even if it is a club song. I’m going to talk about things dealing with me and what I did”. Keeping it Ben Franklin.....
