Chef Edog: The Talented Hip-Hop Newcomer Making Big Waves

Up-and-coming hip-hop artist Chef Edog dreamed of making it big in the music industry since he was a child. With the success of one of his biggest records, “Stars,” and the upcoming release of his first EP, this musician’s dream is slowly turning into reality.

This New Jersey-based rap artist shared that he was surrounded by music all his life. He said, “I sang in church when I was a kid. Then when I was about eleven years old, I took an interest in being a rapper.” Support from his family helped him explore his interest in hip hop and rap. Chef Edog further shared, “My older cousins set up a studio in their house. That was where I first experimented with lyrics, rhymes, and beats.”

Chef Edog has been honing his songwriting skills since he was a young boy. Both of his hit singles, “Stars” and “Name in These Streets,” showcase his impeccable lyricism alongside captivating beats.

“I kind of see it as painting a story with my music. Storytelling is a big part of my songs. I want listeners to relive or imagine moments that I once lived through. And I feel that I have done that with the songs I have put out,” the hip-hop artist said.

Aside from his unique storytelling perspective on songwriting, Chef Edog garnered a lot of positive attention because his work seamlessly combines old-school hip hop with the new school sound.

“It’s the best of both worlds, really. Everything I love about old-school rap and new school styles is present in my songs,” Chef Edog said.

While this hip-hop artist’s music career is only beginning, Chef Edog has committed to staying authentic.

He said, “I grew up on the street. I worked hard because I was surrounded by hustlers. I may have been through a lot of hardship and pain, but I found a path to a better lifestyle.” His experiences and his journey add soul to his songs. Being comfortable in his own skin separates Chef Edog from other artists. “I keep it real with myself and others. I mean everything I say. My music feels authentic because it is,” he said.

Aside from making it big in music, Chef Edog also dreams of helping other artists make it in the industry.

“I want to build a legacy to be able to help others. This is what drives me to achieve success,” the rapper shared, “I want to be part of the team that becomes the go-to powerhouse of music in New Jersey. I want one day to be in a position where I get the chance to help others make it big.”

Passionate about a dream that has been years in the making, hip hop artist Chef Edog is making big moves. His hit singles “Name in These Streets” and “Stars” showcase the kind of musical storyteller he is. Raw, authentic, and relatable, his music evokes powerful imagery while delivering a catchy sound. In a recent Instagram post, the hip hop artist announced that his EP, Bio, will drop on June 25. He said, “My career is just beginning. Expect greater things to come.”
