The music artist and producer known as
Chris Hosford Jr. has released his latest hip hop single, “Battling
My Demons.” The track has been proudly published as an independent
release without the support or direction of the corporate music
industry. It is the most prominent official release from Hosford to
date and bears the distinction of being the final vocal recording of
Chris Hosford Jr. in the arena of hip hop. Built on beats, vivid
imagery and evocative lines and rhymes, “Battling My Demons” is
evidence that Chris Hosford Jr. is a name to watch regardless of
which genre he's in.
Asked to cite some main artistic
influences, Hosford Jr. quips only, “Life experiences.” As it
turns out, the autobiographical component of Hosford's rap lyrics is
an important one, and especially where his new “Battling My Demons”
single is concerned.
“This is my last hip hop song I will
ever record lyrics on,” writes the artist. “I loved being a part
of the music and indulging myself in the lyrics and performance and
recording. It was fun.”
Chris Hosford Jr. spent years recording
local artists for free to cut his teeth at music production, and
spent years more graduating from Full Sail University with a bachelor
of science in music production, followed by a master of science in
entertainment business. After all this education and hands-on
experience in music, Hosford's “Battling My Demons” has resulted.
“The song talks about how the hip hop
industry affected me personally,” Hosford writes. “It pretty much
gave me a false perception of what actually goes on in the industry.
Goodbye, hip hop.”
Hosford grew up in southern New Jersey
and has been making music since the age of 16. His father taught him
how percussion rhythms are “driven by soul,” an audible element
in “Battling My Demons.” He moved on to beatboxing and achieved
some local popularity for his homegrown skills. He then began writing
and performing rap. By 2006 he had started recording with a 16-track
digital recorder and microphone his mother had given him for
Christmas. Eight years later, he's still laying down fresh takes and
mixing original music.
His current official bio says of his
current pursuits: “Since graduation with his masters degree, Chris
has been slowly planning out strategic ways to release records. All
of this takes financial backing, so he has been hard at work saving
money to fund his dreams and doesn't show any sign of stopping.”
Hosford had this to say to his fans on
the occasion of his “Battling My Demons” release – “Stay
tuned for my new releases, which will not be in the hip hop genre.”
“Battling My Demons” by Chris
Hosford Jr. is available at over 700 digital music stores online
worldwide.
