Chris Webby has yet to release a major label album. He remains unsigned producing independent mixtapes. Just like how college sports are sometimes more competitive than professional sports, the same can be said for mixtape rappers versus major label rappers. Webby's flow is ridiculous on this and his last three mixtapes. He drops the sharpest metaphors I've heard from any hip hop artist this year, signed or not. On the track "Raising The Bar" Webby writes, "Ramblin'. Answerin' the hatin', spittin gorgeously. Can't handle him, I'm Anakin, and yes I got the force with me". On most rap albums, you hear the better tracks and the artist might drop a verse or even a single line that catches your ear. On this record, the poignant bars just persist throughout. The whole mixtape is just amusing. Webby is not a millionaire, his content is relatable. The lyrics are raw. There is an element of comedy or parody in his style. Coming straight out of a Connecticut private school, Christian Webster had a tough time gaining any "street cred" until facing drug and weapons charges in 2009 for which he remains on probation. There are themes of drugs and violence in his work, but there is more than that. He's definitely someone to watch for.
