Chris Gregory realized he wanted to be a rapper when he was 8 years old.\n\nAs he grew, Chris began to use his creativity to counter the environment of gang activity and sordid social pressures surrounding Miami, FL.\n\nRapping became an outlet for his own frustration in response to the world around him.\n\nRather than be part of a system that produced gang violence, drug abuse, and negativity, Chris dove head first into music, cultivating a voice to combat the instabilities of every day life.\n\nRap music became his therapy.\n\nAn open forum of self-expression where he could escape into his mind and develop something positive in an environment that begged to hold him down.\n\nThis is: \n\nInside the Minds Eye w/ Chris Gregory Saavedra.\n\nDownload, Listen, Share, and Support Chris at:\nwww.soundcloud.com/its-Chris-Gregory-MIA\nwww.facebook.com/ItsChrisGregory\n\nMusic Featured on this Episode:\n\n"Inside the Minds Eye"- Written and Produced by Chase Perry and Adam Abramowitz featuring the song "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears\n\n"Everybody Hates Chris"- Written and Produced by Chris Gregory\n\n"Hypnotize"- Written and Performed by: The Notorious B.I.G.\n\n"8-Mile Instrumental'- from the film "8-Mile"\n\n"Running with a AK47"- Written and Performed by: Bone Thugs -n- Harmony\n\n"Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 Instrumental"- Written by Hopsin\n\n"Good Morning"- Written and Produced by: Chris Gregory\n\n"Aint No Thang"- Written and Performed by Outkast from their album "Southernplayalisticadilacmusic"\n\n"Blood, Sweat, and Dedication"- Performed by Chris Gregory and J Welcome on the track "King Shit" by Yo Gotti ft.
