C.H.R.Y.S. (also known as Carlos Ferragamo) is a MC, producer and songwriter from the Parkchester section of Bronx, New York. Initially C.H.R.Y.S. began his music career as a part of local rap crew called the “Knights of Just-Us”, but due to creative differences he decided to go solo. It was then that C.H.R.Y.S. made the decision to attend the historically black university, Florida A&M University after hearing stories about aspiring artist falling victim to music industry pitfalls due to a lack of business acumen. While focusing on his studies at, C.H.R.Y.S. continued to hone his skills as an MC as well as a producer. In 2005 Hard work began to pay off when Core DJ member, DJ Speed Racer (a founding member of School Boyz Entertainment) asked the young MC to craft a promo track describing his daily radio mix-show. Speed Racer learned of the Bronx native off the strength of the buzz that C.H.R.Y.S. generated rhyming for veteran rapper (and former Firm member) AZ during AZ’s visit to Tallahassee during the same year. In 2006 C.H.R.Y.S. participated in the Source magazine’s Unsigned Hype Online Freestyle competition in a similar fashion as underground rapper Donnie Goines and won. As a result of his victory he was featured in the magazine’s October 2006 issue. Since that time C.H.R.Y.S. has continued to put out quality music alongside his friend and business partner Archie “Siah” Morgan under their own imprint, Futuristic Music Group. Although C.H.R.Y.S. is currently unsigned to a major, all that may change with the release of his upcoming mixtape entitled “Hip-Hop Music."
