Being from Marlboro, MA you don’t get to see much oppurtunity, this is very different for Malboros own, Lil Chronic. In the past month on Spotify alone, Lil Chronic has pulled on over 59,000 Spotify listeners. That’s more than the Marlboro population itself!

Being from Marlboro, you see a lot of tough adversity and struggles from a young age. This didn’t hold Chronic back though, seeing these struggles at such a young age just added fuel to his fire and made him want to keep going and make it out of the city. And that is exactly what he did.

Chronic got into music heavily in high school. In high school, he listened to artists like Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and bands like AC/DC and Blink 182. He realized about a year ago that if he merged the two types of music he idolized growing up then he could create something nobody has ever heard. This is exactly what he has been doing for the past year now. Listening to Chronics music you can definitely hear the rock influence along with the rap influence as well. That rock/rap mixture is very popular in today’s industry but Chronics sound and music development isn’t like anyone else.

More influences of Chronic outside of the prior people named include; Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Juice Wrld, Lil Peep and many more. These artists are big influences that inspire him to make the type of music he makes today.

Chronic has grown to be Vybe Entertainment’s biggest artist, if he isn’t the biggest, he is definitely close to it. Chronic and the Vybe CEO went to high school together and played on the same basketball team. “It’s pretty cool that both of our careers went separate ways after high school but somehow found a way to meet later on in life”. With Chronic being an artist and Vybe Entertainment knowing exactly what they’re looking for, they knew they’d make a good team.

Chronic’s newest single is now sitting at over 100,000 streams in 30 days on Spotify. Chronic’s plan is to drop a single a month and push for higher numbers with each release. This single is “Punkstar”, Chronic linked with Bow Wow on the song and have more music together!

“Working with Bow was dope for sure, it was cool because he saw my show in Las Vegas at the Cannabis Awards and reached out to me”. Chronic naturally was always a Bow Wow fan since growing up watching his movies. When Bow Wow and Chronic met Bow Wow let chronic know that he was “going to be huge in 2021”. He also said that they should work together and “Punkstar” was one of the outcomes of that.

In the future, other industry artist Chronic looks to work with is MGK, The Kid Laroi, The Weeknd and Cole Bennett/Lyrical Lemonade. Besides that, Chronic has a ton of other artists in the industry he plans to work with before this year is even over!

In Chronics music, he wants to bring the listeners that nostalgic feeling that they get that takes them back to a memory in their head. Not a specific one literally but the feeling you’ll get when you listen to a song that brings you back to a certain time and place in your head. Wether that be about a girl, heartbreak, a hard time or anything for that matter. Chronic feels like those memories you never forget or will ever leave your mind and those are things Chronic tends to talk about in his music.

By next year, Chronic plans to be solidified as one of the biggest artists in the industry. He’s only been doing this for about a year and is already taking over! By next year he plans to already have a song top 5 on billboard charts. He has many songs ready to reach his goals sooner than a year from now. In the next 10 years, Chronic wants to have accumulated millions, more billboard songs than anyone can count and ultimately made his mark in music as a whole. But no matter what achievements, awards or shows Chronic is apart of, Chronics goal is for the world to remember his name long after he’s gone and his plans are looking like they’re on track so far!
