About Chris Riss
CHRIS RISS' GOAL
My ultimate goal is to introduce people to the one true living GOD who created the world and mankind, who is, Jesus Christ. I hope to influence people through my actions as well as through public speaking and rap music to reach the masses. I desire to make a difference in this dark world and to play a major part in eternally saving souls.
Positivity
“I hope to produce songs that inspire people — [that] people can relate to. To help motivate people to get out of the darkness. To hopefully find GOD, to get clean and sober. To be inspired to want to be a better person.
Why I Choose Rap
I started rapping when I was 15 years old as an outlet to express my anger. In 2003 I formed my own record label “DopETracKRecords”. I produced highly negative and evil content. I eventually retired DopETracKRecords when I started to really live for Jesus. I became born again and filled with the Holy Spirit in 2009. Ever since then I only produce inspirational and positive content music. I really enjoy rhyming and writing rap songs. I use rap music as a medium to preach about Jesus Christ, to express, and to inspire others.
BIOGRAPHY

However, Chris' childhood still became influenced by the "World Wrestling Federation", negative role models, and gangster rap music. At age 15 Chris started to write his own rap lyrics that were morbid and fuled by anger. In 2003 Chris founded his own record label "DopETracKRecords". In 2008 Chris retired his record label due to Chris finding GOD and realizing that the music he was producing glorified the devil. Throughout Chris' 20's and early 30's Chris lived a lukewarm Christian lifestyle. Relationship with GOD, drugs, and sex seemed to be a cycle that Chris continued to experience. It was those experiences that influence many of Chris' songs.

Most importantly Chris Riss always aims to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ' Life, Death, Resurrection, and Imminent Return!
