Heavily inspired by MC's like ██ Rakim, KRS-One and Chuck D, he began writing raps at the ██ tender age of 14. In fact, he RECORDED his first track in a ██ pro studio in Dallas at 14 years old.... ██ ██ By 16 he was a mature artist! Chris attended high school at ██ Lincoln Humanities/Communications Magnate and found himself, ██ more often than not, in the Radio/Television department, ██ learning about camera work, lighting and the like. In order ██ to inspire the students, famous musicians, actors and ██ directors were invited to the school to speak to the kids ██ and to instill some passion or foster passion for the ██ entertainment business and employment in general. Chris ██ would meet lots of celebrities and would make it his ██ business to introduce himself. One time, a local artist ██ management company owner came to the school and Chris ██ managed to obtain the dude's digits and followed up on it ██ shortly after. After calling the number, he discovered that ██ the guy from "African Supporters of a New Style" aka ██ A.S.O.N.E had give him his younger brother's number. ██ ██ Chris got to be friends with that dude, who was more his age ██ and was later introduced to the owner once again, as a ██ talented local MC, lyricist and friend of the family. Around ██ the same time, he got together with his crew, the Disciples ██ of Injustice which included himself, producer Kres-X and MC ██ Lo-Key. They would put on parties in Dallas in the Deep ██ Ellum area and in some cases funded by their management ██ company, would book big Hip Hop artists from NYC to perform ██ at their parties. For example Biggie played at one of their ██ shows before he blew, as did L.O.N.S., Onyx, and Eazy E and ██ when they did, Smooth Criminal was the support act. This was ██ all happening at the age of 16. and in the same year, he ██ recorded the Straight Lynching project (known then as the ██ Shank EP) with the backing of A.S.O.N.E. They pressed around ██ 500-1000 cassettes which were mostly destroyed in an ██ unfortunate flood in a basement where they were being held ██ in storage. There was no vinyl other than a handful (we are ██ told btwn 5-8) of test pressings. The cassette copies that ██ survived were placed in the hands of press and industry ██ heads and through the music and his local rep, the team ██ received some offers from some majors - notably Virgin, but ██ nothing substantial materialised. ██ ██ He changed his name to U.P.T.I.G.H.T. in 1993 when Next ██ Plateau Records were about to sue over an artist they were ██ working with with the same name and later went on to work ██ and write for among others, Dr Dre and The D.O.C. Now, 20 ██ years later, Chopped Herring Records have released the 5 ██ track EP along with an unreleased joint from 1997. ██ ██ ██ ▓██ ▓██ ▒██ ░██ ░██ · ▒ ██ ▓ ██▓▄▄ ░ ▄ ▄▄ ▄███▓▒░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░▒▓█▓ ▓ █▀ ░▒ █ ▓ We Have NO Public IRC ░ █ ▒ channel and offer no ░ ██▒ ░ files.
