Artist History Hailing from the Englewood district of Chicago’s south side, san’ chambers has experienced b-boying on a universal echelon, despite the ever-present urban warfare that had constantly left his only stage (the streets) to rock on nothing less than devastated. Although his abilities at breakin’, poppin’, grafitti, and djing all highlighted san’s gift as a prodigy, it wasn’t until fellow b-boys Dexx Luv, Tranz D, and Mad Storm all urged him to battle two of Englewood’s more reputable emcees (Reginald “Big Reski” Sanders and Richard “3-D” Davenport – Rest In Peace, Folks) that it was realized that shorty had potentials to move something on a lyrical level… Around the summer of ’86, san’ made an effort to compose his first song, “Down Young Nigga’”. But with the potent combination of 8-Ball (a moniker for a brand of malt-liquor), fat trey bags ($3.00 bags) of Sess’(a moniker for a brand of marijuana), and WHPK (one of Chicago’s first underground Hip-Hop radio stations) all serving as deterrents, that composition remains incomplete up to this very line you’re reading, Charlie… Now enter the mid-fall of ’87. Fresh off of I-80, it was unbeknownst to anyone that two of the Mighty-Midwest’s best kept secrets would encounter to collaborate on some of the most bomb projects nobody has ever heard to this day. It was in the mid-fall of ’87 when san’ chambers (then known as Mista’ San’Man) and D.J. Suicide met. During that period in time, san’ was a freestyle fire spreading like vicious lies published in a tabloid, while D.J. Suicide was producing mix-tapes on a level that went unrivaled, and still has his distinguishing signature on it to this day. Due to what san’ attributes to his Englwood mentality, he was escorted to Omaha’s downtown Greyhound station by two of his aunts, with a one-way ticket back to the Big Windy. But fate that would become his destiny summoned for him to return to the “O”…. Once back in the “O” , san’ took the initiative to capitalize off of the profitable exploits of the narcotics trade in order to finance his career as an emcee, which ultimately resulted in him being imprisoned in Nebraska’s penal system at the tender age of 16. While most of his teenage counterparts were fortunate enough to attend homecoming dances, pep-rallies, and graduate from high schools, shorty was committing a 187 on the clock (killing time) making plans and composing songs for his crew-to-be, Stomp Down (featuring Ben Kpone – who was also on the clock during that time, and Adrian “Shadow” Robinson). It was January of ’92 when both, san’ and Ben Kpone were released from Nebraska’s penal system. And it was approximately one week before the historical L.A. riots when Ben and Adrian would pick san’ up from L.A.X. to embark upon Stomp Down’s first group effort, ever. While out in Cali, san’ and his Stomp Down counterparts recorded a demo in John Valentine’s (Ben’s father, and co-writer of the hit single by the Valentine Brothers, “Money Too Tight To Mention”) home studio, to be shopped for a deal by Carolyn Wiggins (Ben;s mother) at her then place of employment, Capitol Records. The first resource that Ms. Wiggins resorted to was Al Bell (composer of the Staples Singers’ classic hit, “I’ll Take You There”, and CEO of Bellmark Records – then label-home of Tag-Team, of “Whoot, There It Is” fame). Although Al Bell was verily impressed upon by Stomp Down as a group to the point of wanting to sign them to his label right at that instance, as always, san’ distinguished himself from the group with a reluctant, but raw freesyle… At the conclusion of san’s first collaboration with Stomp Down, he returned to the “O” to exercise his hustle-muscle, as a means to finance his label (On Da’ Ground Records), his group (Stomp Down), his pre-production studio (Boot Hill), and his solo projects as Mista’ San’Man, by. Between then and ’94, san’ had performed on the same bills as Ice Cube and The Lench Mob, E-40 and The Click, DJ Quik and 2nd 2 None, Spice One, Too Short, Black Moon, Das FX, and Top Quality. He’d even collected props from Oakland’s Souls of Mischief after putting his boot down in a cipher that they’d happened upon at a show that they’d performed at. A pendellum between Hip-Hop and the underworld, san’s focus on his goal to become recognized for his talents as an emcee and songwriter was obscured so badly, we was eventually indicted, convicted, and sentenced to a 9-year term in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Tenacious in his intentions to improvise his talents as an emcee and songwriter to the best of his advantage, by the time that he was released from a federal halfway house during the summer of 2001 (an entire year and a half early for the successful completion of a drug diversion course) he’d compiled enough material to compose up to a few full-length albums as a solo artist, group member, and live-writer (doesn’t belive in ghost-writers). With the “What’s Poppin’” project being the first project san’ has ever presented to the industry on a professional level, he intends to use it to calm the suspense and anticipation of his full-length debut, “Introducing san’ chambers” ; which will be released on his independent record label, NUKLEER Records. The industry will be a new playing field for san’. But by him being a veteran in the game (Hip-Hop), to bet your bottom dollar that he’s that guy, would verily be a wise bet….
