Up and coming rapper Chuck Paradi$e is making moves in the underground New Jersey trap movement. With three solid mixtapes under his belt, Paradi$e shows that he has the talent to move beyond his state and make national vibrations.
Chuck Paradi$e's unique style made him a very qualified candidate for our artist spotlight. We asked Chuck Paradi$e a few questions to give us a inside look as to how he makes his music and his creative influences.
Chuck Paradi$e’s Music Video for How We Comin:
What got you interested in Music?
My father was a signed R&B Soul artist to Brunswick Records, and my mother did Broadway so I was into music since as long as I could remember getting my 1st drum set at 3 years old.
Top 3 favorite artists and why?
1. Michael Jackson - My top inspiration in the music industry. Being an CEO, entertainer, artist, director, songwriter, actor, group artist and solo artist showed me I could be versatile and still be great with every aspect. Never stop til perfection and always make memorable music people can relate to with your own original feel.
2. Rakim - Showed me the essence of hip-hop while I was young. I used to take my bro's Follow The Leader CD and play it not knowing what everything meant, just knowing it was dope and one day I'd want to move the crowd too. His lyrical wits, and knowledge on the mic drew me to always think outside the box and be as clever as possible with every line.
3. Notorious B.I.G. - Showed me you could make it out of your struggle in the hood on the east coast and do something positive if you chase your dreams. His conviction in his music, consistency, and his storytelling ability help me craft myself as an emcee.
What experience in your career was a game changer for you and why?
Hearing my single, "Buss It Down Feat. C. Malloy" on the radio for the 1st time on Streetz 106 Radio in 2010. It got requested so many times, the skype chat crashed lol.
Also, being crowned Open Mic Mayhem King of ItzBMRadio.com in 2012 after slaughtering shows back to back and being requested to perform and feature for events.
What else do you do besides Rap?
Im CEO of my own entertainment label, Elektrik Ill Entertainment. Founded in 2009
Producer / Audio Engineer Certified by Institute of Audio Research in NY 2005Actor, played my 1st role as Lee Lee in the movie “ ex, Money, And You Already Know" featured in The Source Magazine. Graphic Artist, Songwriter, and also a deep appreciation for Art and Fashion Designing.
Most memorable experience?
Getting offered a distrubution/production deal for 100K @ Koch Records/Fontana Universal in 2008.
I was in group called "The CryTearia" at the time and my partner was hospitalized for months from being shot shortly after we got the offer, so we couldn't take the deal.
I started working on my 1st solo material after that and began to brand my own label "EIE".
