Chris Makaveli: I believe there is no way to make music, just sing be positive and be in GoD’s hands.

Chris Makaveli: I prefer to say my music is more Bop Hop than Hiphop but it both rhymes, I like to make music because all the songs I listened to is what went into making these few songs that I created over the years, My style is unique blended and created like a whale without air, or a flare to cost
