Chris Rivers talks Apophenia & memories of his father Big Pun ”Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max”

Big thank you to the Bronx's own Chris Rivers for coming on my show for an interview! Chris discussed his new album Apophenia with his collective Oswin Benjamin and Denzil Porter, how this collective formed, and that his monumental album to put his career on the map will be on the way soon. He shared memories of being with his father, the late great Hip-Hop icon Big Pun, on tour and being around him while he was recording in the studio. He got into forgiving his father for the abuse, his Big Pun tribute song Sincerely Me, and how it felt when his father got his own plaza, the Big Pun Plaza, in the Bronx. He got into being apart of a rap group with Benzino's son at 8 years old and that deal with Interscope getting shelved because of Benzino's beef with Eminem at the time. Chris talked about overcoming his depression, being homeless, and when he started to take his rap career into the public eye. He also got into his bond with Styles P, who he wants to collaborate with, and what would make him sign a major record deal. Chris announced that he has music videos from Apophenia and more music dropping soon. Stay tuned!
