This is Chin Injeti.... A native of Toronto, now a transplant in Vancouver and at times Los Angeles.
In Toronto Chin was a founding member of the ground-breaking group Bass is Base. A Juno award-winning group that paved the way for many urban artists, having toured and shared the stage with the likes of, James Brown, The Fugees, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Nelly Furtado and The Marley Family. Also recipient of a songwriter of the year Socan award and a Much Music Video Award, Chin has established himself as a mainstay in Canada as both an artist and producer.
Fast forward to the present, Chin has swapped his surrounding from the concrete jungle of Toronto for the lush rainforest known as Vancouver. As a production partner with fellow westcoaster and L.A. based DJ Khalil (Aftermath Productions) he's been producing and working with everyone from Dr. Dre, Nas, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, Clipse, Esthero, Kinnie Starr, Hot Hot Heat, Bedouin Soundclash and Zaki Ibrahim just to name a few.
The partnership with DJ Khalil doesn't stop at producing however. The two have formed a super group called The New Royales (TNR) a genre bending band that has created the past, the present and FUTURE! Just ask Dr.Dre, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Bishop Lamont, David Banner and Jay Electronica who are all fans and have collaborations with TNR!
On top of all that, Chin has started, along with partners Aidan Wright and Jeff Herrera, a company called The Hastings Set which pools together resources from other artistic disciplines for its production, branding/marketing and artist management initiatives.
Chin's new solo record entitled, "D'tach" is complete and slated for a March 2010 release.

KING NUT
And now I sit on my throne to rest my feet. I relax with ease till my legs fall asleep. I forget about the common man working hard on the street. I no longer sympathize with the labourers barely making ends meat.
And now I sit on my throne to rest my back. I relax with ease and have a hearty snack. I forget about the common man now shaking in his shack. I can no longer visualize the builders that put my country on track.
And now I sit on my throne to pace my mind. I relax with ease and try to unwind. I forget about the writers, painters and their intellectual kind. I no longer empathize with my critics and their incessant whines.
I rest, then my head outgrows my crown
I rest, then my back is stabbed till Im down
The rest have their feat when Im buried in the ground.
Hello Brotha! I'm traveling to your home town to Headline the Desifest with Apache Indian! Pretty excited man......It was wicked seeing you man and I'd love to come through the studio when I get back.....I got some clips for you as well...peace J
