CHRISTOPHER
SINISTER—CERTIFIED M.C.
How would you describe yourself? I would describe myself as the most sexiest schizophrenic in North America. Don't get me wrong. I'm a cool person. Like yesterday I helped this old lady across the street but as soon as I got her to the otherside I gently robbed her of all her Nilla Wafers. Mainly to teach her a lesson not to trust anybody and partly cause Nilla Wafers is the snack, B....Fa real, them shits is good.
Where did you grow up? Cleveland, Detroit and Philly. If you count the various group homes, juvenile centers, and county jails you could say the whole midwest.
Your name is Chris Sinister. Are you some kinda villain or something? THE FUCK KINDA QUESTION IS THAT!?! Look at my hat, my hoodie coat, and shoes. They're all black. Of course I'm a fuckin bad guy. Haven't you ever seen a western movie. Jesus Christ! When I came in the door to do this interview didn't you hear the shrilling DUN DUN DUUUUUNN!!!!! music? Fuck outta here!
What kinda music do you listen to? Jaydee, Madlib, MF DOOM, and Bjork mainly.
How will your music on Rapitalism sound? My music on Rapitalism will be a unique blend of Kirby Dominant's production with Chris Sin's no mercy style of emceeing. If I were to make a comparison I would say Psychadelic Furs meets the ghost of Biggie Smalls. I don't know, muhfucka. Cop the album and you be the judge.
What are you trying to express through your music? Life man...The ups the downs. The pain, the love, the betrayal. Kinda like a ghetto soap opera.
Tell us about your first release on our label - "Mainly Because." It's a dope song, man. I slept on it at first but everytime I'd play it for my ladyfriends they wouldn't stop singing it. I mean line for line, yo. Kirb produced it and came up with the hook. It's real raw and metophorical without getting too spacey or spiritual. "Mainly Because" is like having a conversation with a pimp and a thug without having
to leave the comfort of your own home. Just pop it in the cd deck and voila! Instant game!
