Chicago’s rap scene has exploded over the past few years, showcasing quick rhymers and lyrical storytellers. From subgenres of drill and trap to conscious lyrical content, the Windy City takes center stage when it comes to hip hop. But as the Chief Keef’s and Chance the Rapper’s of the city move further into the mainstream frame, the door is opened for independent rappers to take the reigns. Enter Vonte.
Growing up on the west side of Chicago, Vonte has always encompassed what it means to represent the Chi. His musical career showcases an individuality and genuineness to his story and talent. And in his new project, 1 Time 4 Da West$ide, Vonte shows off all his charisma, not cutting the listener short of his ambition and skill. He is also not afraid of the challenge of showing his true self and does not shy away from any details about his past, present or future. The project holds 12 tracks, includes features from Yajaira Lyriq, Gee Ballard and production from Gold Haze, C-Sick, JP DaFuture and others.
