Anacron is the living, breathing personification of the pseudo culture called Hip Hop. A true modern renaissance artist, this known rapper/singer is the master of many forms of expression. In addition to writing and performing rap lyrics, Anacron is an accomplished and professionally trained musician, a composer, a songwriter, a music producer, and a nightclub disc jockey. His talents do, however, expand beyond the audible ranges of artistic output. Anacron is also a world renown breakdancer,as well as an accomplished businessman and an intriguing personality.
Musically, Anacron is best known for his casual and conversational yet in-depth lyrical delivery, and his amazingly crafted and ingenious instrumental production. Boasting a catalog of over 20 releases on various labels since 1994, he has also contributed to countless other projects and albums by international recording artists. In short, Anacron is the icing on the cake of any project, and his presence adds an intense yet inviting feel to any musical endeavor, whether his role is vocal or musical.
Born on the East coast, raised on the West coast, and having resided in the Midwest has had a grand effect on the development of Anacrons signature and recognizable styles of production and lyricism. From the original Peanut Gallery Network recordings to the West coast classic Netherworlds album, Anacron stands out; his participation and performance is always charismatic, thoughtful, and fitting. With a broad yet bluntly honest and clearly defined view of the world around him, he always leaves a lasting impression as a guest on any album. His amalgamation of live instrumentation and sampling, mainstream appeal and independent creativity makes for one of the most imitated and sought-after production styles in the industry.
Outside of his collaborations with colleagues and friends in the hip-hop underground, Anacron also plays an active role in the musical expansion of singers of various genres, jazz groups, pop and rock bands, and even film and stage soundscapes. Appreciated and admired around the world on an independent and underground platform, Anacron has spent a decade teetering on the edge of commercial success; ultimately, the time has come for his leap into a more mainstream and much deserved limelight, and gain a commercial recognition for the stellar talent that he is.
