BIO:

It’s hard work being an Ivy League student, musician, and an aspiring hotelier. So it’s no wonder why Chance Fischer has a lot on his plate. A rising senior in the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, Chance has been trying to balance schoolwork, student government, a band, and numerous studio sessions.

Born and raised in Richmond, VA, Chance had been reluctant to start a career in rap. He was feared that he would not being able to transcend the paradigm of southern rap. During his sophomore year in college, he decided to pick up the mic and do a few tracks with a fellow recording artist by the name of Sloppy Joe. He was well received by listeners, and after some coercion from friends he decided to pursue a career in music wholeheartedly.

He just released his debut project entitled “HERE“. ‘HERE‘ is a blend of infectious horns, gut wrenching strings, and ethereal synths that unite the opposing worlds of triumph and tragedy through the eyes of a 20-year-old Ivy League student. The mixtape chronicles the trials and triumphs of his life over the past 3 years – drama, stress, soul-searching, parties, and the difficulty of relationships.

When he is not in the studio, Chance is either hitting the books or doing shows with his band After Six. He lives by the words of Lao Tzu, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with one step.” He is taking the first steps of his journey through the pathway of music.

The DC area Hip-Hop movement continues. Check out for info and music after the jump.

Coming to the stage, hailing from the Silver Spring MD (DC metro area), weighing in with some of the illest bars in the rap game is John Forbes. He also goes by the name of Mr. Forbes and he blends his soulful brand of music with gritty, real life lyrics that portray the life of a D.M.V native. His art encompasses many genres, but cannot be packaged into just one.

This 21 year old veteran of the D.C., Maryland and Virginia’s underground hip hop scene is well regarded amongst his peers. Never missing a show and always willing to please the crowd with a line or two. He has also opened up for a numerous amount of major artist and has linked up with some of the best the D.M.V area has to offer; notably, producer June, Task Productions,and has done a numerous amount of collabs with other up and coming artist in the D.M.V

Mr. Forbes is as complex as the very environment from which he hails. His “shock value” delivery grabs his audience, leaving their heads bobbing and minds churning. Mr. Forbes strives to bring feeling back to the hip hop game. He dares to inject creativity and color into his music, while still catering to the masses. Mr. Forbes embodies the definition of consistency. He is hungry, in fact he is starving to get his word out to the masses and possess so much creativity that will soon be visible for the rest of the world to share in. When you ask Mr. Forbes on his feelings about his own music, his statement is very straight to the point, but hits home and he simply states “Some people love Hip-Hop and most people pretend, but either way my music is undeniable!”
