WITH THE RELEASE OF HIS SECOND ALBUM, INDEPENDENT HIP-HOP HEAVYWEIGHT CHRIS WEBBY LOOKS TO SHED HIS PARTY RAPPER IMAGE TO BECOME KNOWN FOR WHAT HE’S TRULY ALWAYS BEEN; AN ACCOMPLISHED BUSINESSMAN AND LYRICIST.
WHILE IT IS TRUE CHRIS WEBBY ONCE HAD A STIGMA OF ONLY CARING AND RAPPING ABOUT WOMEN, PARTIES AND DRUGS, HE’S SINCE BECOME POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. WHILE CHANGING HIS CONTENT AND GROWING AS AN ARTIST. RECENTLY HE JOINED FORCES WITH THE NON-PROFIT “1% FOR THE PLANET”, WHICH WILL SEE THAT A PIECE OF HIS YEARLY EARNINGS IS DONATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES. HE’S ALSO RAMPED UP THE USAGE OF HIS PLATFORM TO CALL OUT THE FLAWS IN MODERN DAY SOCIETY, FROM THE RISE OF MUMBLE RAPPERS TO THE MORALLY CORRUPT POLITICIANS WHO RUN THE COUNTRY.
HOWEVER, AS HE’S CHANGED SO HAS HIS SURROUNDINGS. IN 2016, CHRIS WEBBY SEPARATED FROM HIS MANAGEMENT LEAVING HIM IN A BIT OF DISARRAY: SAYING QUOTE “I WAS DEPRESSED AND WONDERED IF MY ALMOST TEN YEARS OF HARD WORK IN THE INDUSTRY WERE FOR NOTHING. I FELT COMPLETELY LOST,” BUT THEN I REMEMBERED TWO THINGS. FIRST OFF, I HAVE YOU … I STILL HAD A RIDE OR DIE FAN BASE THAT BELIEVED IN ME. AND SECONDLY, I CAN RAP. BETTER THAN MOST.”
CHRIS PUSHED THROUGH THE CHALLENGES OF THE CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT AND IN MARCH OF 2017 LAUNCHED HIS #WEBBYWEDNESDAY SERIES. WHERE EACH WEDNESDAY, HE RELEASES A NEW SONG OR VIDEO. THIS YEAR ALONE, HE HAS RELEASED TWENTY-FIVE SONGS AND TEN VIDEOS WHICH BIRTHED THE RELEASE OF HIS SECOND ALBUM “WEDNESDAY”. ON THE RECENT ALBUM, WEBBY DEMONSTRATES HIS DIVERSE STYLE PAIRED WITH WITTY EAST COACH PUNCHLINES AND MELODIC REGGAE INFLUENCES. FROM THE START OF 2017, #WEBBYWEDNESDAY SONGS HAVE AMASSED OVER 70 MILLION STREAMS WITHIN THE PAST TEN MONTHS AND CONTINUE TO SURGE. HIS MONTHLY LISTENERS CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING TO OVER SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND ON SPOTIFY. AVERAGE STREAMS HAVE RISEN FROM FIFTY TWO THOUSAND TO OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND A DAY. A TOTAL OF TWO THIRDS OF ALL STREAMS COME FROM ACTIVELY ENGAGED FANS, INSTEAD OF PASSIVE LISTENERS: FIFTY PERCENT OF WEBBY’S STREAMS COME FROM SAVED MUSIC COLLECTIONS.
WITH HIS NEW FOUND SUCCESS CHRIS WEBBY HAS PUT HIS SOCIAL LIFE ON HOLD, FOCUSING ONLY ON THE MUSIC AND BUSINESS. SAYING QUOTE “WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ON WEDNESDAY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF WEBBY 2.0,” IN HIS LETTER TO THE FANS. “I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I’M BECOMING THE MUSICIAN, BUSINESSMAN, AND HUMAN BEING I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE. THANK YOU ALL FOR ACCOMPANYING ME ON THIS BUMPY RIDE, I HONESTLY COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU. AND TRUST ME, THE BEST IS STILL YET TO COME.” WEDNESDAY RELEASES ON DECEMBER 20TH AND THE LINK CAN BE FOUND BELOW.
