In An Industry Where Rap And Hip Hop Is Saturated With Anger, The Young Artist Is Determine To Be A Voice Of Clarity. Cola Wrote His First Rhyme When He Was Only 9 Years Old, And Something Inside Him Clicked; An Artist Was Born. He Filled Pages And Pages Full Of Lyrics -Purging His Emotions And Adolescence Onto The Paper He Explains, "Instead Of Losing My Mind Or Snapping, I Put All The Anger I Had Towards Certain Family Members, That Did Me Wrong, I Just Put It On Paper". The Artist Didnt Know Then That What He Was Doing Could One Day Be His True Purpose. It Would Take Many Years, And Lot Of Maturing, Before The Budding Star Would Be Ready To Turn His Life Long Passion Into A Career "If I'd This Mindset At 18" He Muses, "I Would've Been Successful Already."

In A Social Climate Rife With Racial Disparity And Crime, Cola Is Dismayed -His Community Needs Help, And Is Turning To All The Wrong People And Places Looking For Answers. Much Of The Music Is Anger, And Perhaps Rightfully So, But Cola Suggest His Community Needs To Band Together To Create Positive Change And Intelligent Discussion. "We Should, As A Culture And As A People, Come Together. We Need To Have A Better Message Within The Music. There's A Lot Of Stuff Going On, But At The Same Time We're Our Own Enemy." His Single, "Going Insane," Was Recorded In The Beginning Of 2015 It Speaks To Cola' Frustrating Feelings About The World Around Him. Friends Facing Legal Troubles And Arrests, Family Issues, Disloyalty And Heartache Led Him To Feel Like He Was "Going Insane" As The Song Suggests. His Music Is, As He Calls Its, "Good Riding Music. You Can Play In Your Car And Forget About Everything Else. It's Reality Some Of The Stuff I Say, You Might Already Be Thinking About." Cris Cola Is Giving A Voice To The Unheard And Is A Refreshing Departure From Run-Of-The-Mill Music. He's Ready To Be Heard, And Never Willing To Be Put In A Box.
