Take a tour of the platform: <a href="https://calendly.com/amptup/musician" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">calendly.com/amptup/musician </a>About Chris Conde: <a href="https://www.chrisconde.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chris Conde</a> is a queer conscious LatinX rapper and speaker who is sober and thriving after rising above addiction and homelessness as a result of internalized homophobia. “Somewhere there&#x27;s a kid with body image issues, or struggles with addiction, or stifled sexuality that needs to hear Chris Conde rap. Both healing and rebellious, the Austinite&#x27;s latest full-length, Engulfed in the Marvelous Decay, strikes an inspiring balance of self-betterment and self-acceptance.”- Austin ChronicleThe past year has been a whirlwind for Austin hip hop artist, Chris Conde (they/them/their). The self described “thicc, queer, Mexican” signed to Fake Four Inc. (Open Mike Eagle, Sadistik, Ceschi Ramos) and saw their career take off with plenty of glowing press, shout outs and killer live shows. While riding this wave of success the pandemic hit but that did now slow them down. Engulfed In The Marvelous Decay (April, 2021) arrived to rave reviews, a declaration of top album of the year (Ghettoblaster) and debuted at #12 on Bandcamp. The album is a self-reflective, diverse and charismatic commentary on the bigotry of recent political strife that pulls not just from rap, but also indie rock, electronic music, glitch, metal and punk. While Conde already stands out from the pack due to their unique and commanding presence, the talent is clearly there to complete the package. Engulfed In The Marvelous Decay boldly displays a broad spectrum of moods and sounds from the soaring and redemptive “Mariposa” (see the video here) to the blistering nu-metal of “American Faggot” and “Cancel Culture Blues”, the pure radiant chill hop joy of “Okinawa” and the hypnotic, banjo-tinged atmospheric soulful experimentalism of “Leaves&#x27;&#x27;. The production team includes KDEATH of Moodie Black, Whatever Cecil and Lazerbeak (Lizzo, Doomtree), the latter of which helped to birth the undeniable hit that is “Mariposa&#x27;&#x27;. It’s all rounded out with cameos by Ceschi Ramos, Rodleen Getsic (best known for her vocals on “Knife Prty&#x27;&#x27; by Deftones), Sammus and others. The ambitious Engulfed is a fiercely honest story of the challenges of navigating an often unjust world while battling addiction and the triumph of the feeling that comes from graduating to a place of self-acceptance and pride. 9/10 Stars. ‘Conde is the most raw, brutal and incredible talent that US rap has produced in the last ten years.” - Sun Burns Out (France)“Few rappers embody the kind of playful experimentation that Chris Conde does…” - Bandcamp Daily“If you haven’t guessed it, Chris Conde’s Engulfed In The Marvelous Decay is on track to being one of the best releases of 2021. Here Conde gives us all a few different looks and can ravage songs at the drop of a hat or coast, riding the beat for all its worth. Any way we receive Conde, it’s well worth it.” - Ghettoblaster Magazine“Somewhere there&#x27;s a kid with body image issues, or struggles with addiction, or stifled sexuality that needs to hear Chris Conde rap. Both healing and rebellious, the Austinite&#x27;s latest full-length, Engulfed in the Marvelous Decay, strikes an inspiring balance of self-betterment and self-acceptance.”- Austin Chronicle“Revelatory.” “Reflective and stirring, the collection is the most compelling feat yet for the rising hip hop artist.”- Austin Monthly
