Chris Lockett

Chris Lockett is a self described rap orchestrator. He considers himself an architect who creates beautiful things with words. He also prides himself on being authentic.

As a teenager growing up in Sobrante it was easy for trouble to find him. What wasn’t so easy was turning that trouble in triumph but thats exactly what Chris did. There was a point in Chris’s young life that he found himself with quite a bit a time on his hands and sincerely missing home.
