Chaundon
There is a list a mile long of MC's coming out of the South Bronx, but none have the combined carisma, high voltage, lyricism, and a knack for story telling quite like Justus League member Chaundon. Growing up in the South Bronx and constantly being surrounded by Hip Hop, Chaundon began writing rhymes at the age of 13. As he attended Stevenson High School, he eventually got his first taste of stardom rapping infront of other students in the cafetetria and crowded hallways.
Hooked on being the center of attention and realizing that music was his calling, Chaundon gained a reputation for his lyrical prowess, a reputation that followed him wherever he's gone since. Graduating high school and going to college at North Carolina Central University, it wasn't before he forced his way into the bubbling North Carolina Hip Hop scene. From performing on campus, getting on stage at every local club he could find, and freestyling on radio stations such as Power 98 (WPEG) and K97 (WQOK), his name soon became highly recognized all over North Carolina. Becoming a part of the local up and coming crew The Justus League, only helped the buzz around Chaundon grow louder. In 2001 Chaundon started working on his unreleased project "White Label", which was produced by 9th Wonder of Little Brother, Son of Yorel, Eccentric, Khrysis of The Away Team, and Hall Of Justus CEO Big Dho. By leaking his internet singles "Bet That", a hard hitting, high velocity track produced by Khrysis, Chaundon urges listeners to put their money on him in any situation. "Pay Me", produced by Son of Yorel, he lets loose a lyrical barrage on any and everybody out there who owes him money, demanding what's due to him no matter what their circumstance. Chaundon has widened his fan base enormously. Without any financial backing or promotion, word of mouth has been the vehicle to Chaundon's current success. His first release "Slow Leaks", a mixtape he put together in March 2003, received a great deal of press and further stretched his following across the globe. In April 2005 he released his 2nd mixtape release "Live From The 718". This mixtape solidified his position as the strong and witty emcee that he is. Supporters from around the world praise his music and await his solo lp "No Excuses". He was also featured on L.E.G.A.C.Y.'s debut album"Project Mayhem", The Away Team's debut album "National Anthem", Little Brother's "Chittlin' Circuit", "Chittlin Circuit 1.5", their sophmore album "The Minstrel Show" and their latest mixtape with DJ Drama "Separate But Equal.
Chaundon is a versitile artist with a strong and expressive voice. He is also a remarkable enternainer, making hime a favorite among the Hip Hop community. He is constantly in motion, running through the audience and passing his energy and emotion on to them wherever he performs. In all, his combination of lyrical prowess and high energy stage presence make Chaundon one of the industry's premier artist to watch. Read more on Last.fm.
