CHRIS CONDE bursts into Philly via NYC with dense, magnetic lyricism, soulful musical and embodied contortions, queer and body positive expressionistic rap music. His sound is raunchy and club friendly one minute, and brutalist, cybertronian industriall Jeep-beats the next. Tongue-in-cheek (all the cheeks, girl yass), sexy, and raw, Conde’s music is laced with an underliying slutty politics– slutty and dangerous enough to land on right wing radars as public enemy number 1, a badge he wears um, well he’d wear it if there was anywhere to hang said badge! Stoked to bring this genius to Philadelphia! Let’s get weird.
