Every broken homed only child, that came from the ghetto across the world.
Influences
My influences are the grey Estate buildings in London, the dusty roads of Serria Leone, the dark blocks in Brooklyn,Bronx,Harlem and New Jerz.
Also My influences is the single mothers carrying strollers up a flight of steps before going to work late at night.
My influences are the words Martin Luther King said before he got shot, The look Jesus gave the heavans before the final nail went into his palm.
My influences are 2pac staring out the car window driving that last night with Suge.
My influences are BIG chillin with Diddy in LA that March, tapping his walking stick to the Hypnotize beat
My influences are Yolanda Adams singing "Still i rise " to a poor congregation down south, and Marvin Gaye writting Sexual Healing for a girl he would have done anything for.
My influences is the smell of fresh graffiti going up on the side of a brown project building,or a pissy elevator.
My influences are Dave Chapelle screaming "Charlay Murphy", and Whoppie in The color purple extending her arm, crying saying "Until you do right by me Harpo".
My influences are Roger Rabbit telling Bob "Laughters the only thing we got, My influences is the kid on the back of the train with the black hoodie nodding his head to a beat cd at 1 am.
My influences are the smile of an only child the night before his hard working mothers birthday, wrapping her gift.

Iyanla Vanzant if she could rhyme, with a mix of Jim Carrey if he was young black and struggling.
Chosan was born in the country of Sierra Leone, West Africa. He and his mom later moved to Canada and then to London. It was in London Chosan got involved with the whole culture of hip-hop. His first break came when a freestyle CD recorded in a friends bedroom, made its way to a DJ at KISS FM London. Impressed by his raw talent, Chosan was asked to perform live on air where he captured the hearts of the capital.
After doing numerous talent shows and performances, Chosan convinced an established artist at the time, to give him 5 hours of his 12 hour recording session. With his first track recorded Chosan entered a local radio's talent search competition. As fate would have it Chosan eventually went on to win first prize. The grand prize included 1000 copies of the wining song pressed up and one recording session.
With a distribution deal that fell through, Chosan rapidly used his street smarts, and used it as an opportunity to single handily distribute the records across the UK. This was to be the start of Chosan's entrepreneurial enterprises. Chosan also managed to get into many high profile publications, and created a street team of people from his neighbourhood. Chosan also managed to secure warm up spots for international artists such as Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss & Styles P (D Block) and Dead Prez.
After being dissatisfied with the representation of Hip-Hop and R&B in the UK Chosan decided to pack his bags and move to the Bronx New York. Not long after dealing with the general issues of living in the big apple disaster was to strike again this time on a personal note. He was hit by a truck whilst crossing the road on Gun Hill in the Bronx and miraculously escaped with no cuts and injuries but had to attend a years worth of physical therapy after 2 months in Jacobi hospital in the Bronx.
With a new appreciation for life, he recorded his debut "The Beautiful Side Of Misery" vol 1, with money received from the accident and started Silverstreetz Entertainments. Out of passion, struggle, determination and a love for hip-hop music Chosan still stands.
