I had a look at this clip long ago; since then had been searching high and low but simply couldn’t lay my hands on it. Somehow, I stumbled on it accidentally again. Boy! Am I glad I found it! This guy, Chris Rene, blew me to smithereens. He is a former drug addict who has risen as the phoenix from the ashes and conquered everyone’s hearts. A hell of an individual, who is not only a singer and rapper but also a songwriter.
There’s always something about any guy who is neck-deep buried in mud yet has the courage to look at the stars and reach out for them. Chris is no different. And when Chris says, “Life is too precious to simply throw it away”, I couldn’t agree with him less. His performance is damn hot and he’s got his notes in place. When he quips, “Life’s more than having a trip and it is not always about getting a high” he scores with the audience and everyone. And look at L A Reid’s face when Chris is performing, you know he has delivered the goods. If you ‘Google’ for Chris Rene, you’ll come across him doing other songs with an equal comfort and freshness. Amazing to see someone crawl, walk and run…within a short span.
Here’s hoping he would go many more miles and make many more dance to his rap tunes. Incidentally, this recording is from 2011, I am quite sure he has come a long way since then.
Meet…Chris Rene, a former drug addict and now a ‘star performer’.
