C-Sick
Last August, Chicago high-school student and beatmaker C-Sick wasn’t even sure he would be allowed into the Metro to compete in Red Bull’s renowned Big Tune beat battle. Despite his age, the then 17-year-old wound up taking home the Chicago title, thanks to his punchy, desktop-born hip-hop. Then, four months later at New York’s Highline Ballroom, the young, reserved South Sider became the national champ.
“In New York, I felt like I was in a movie!” C-Sick recalls. “Everybody was there, from known artists to hip-hop heads.” Since taking the beat-battle crown, C-Sick has no doubt gathered increased interest in his production, which is rooted in boom-bap, Chicago juke, and more. “At the time [of the battle], I was really low-key but now people are actually starting to know what I do and what I have accomplished,” he says.
In 2009, C-Sick has already worked with Common in addition to other established acts. Still, the student is in no hurry to soak in the limelight. Instead of focusing on selling his beats off Myspace, he’s opting to open up his repertoire to “improve the diversity” in his production and gain appreciation from a “different group of people who have a different taste in music.”
Ps: He ain't no joke! & i like him even more for the video below.
