BIO
There is a saying ; heavy is the head of the king that wears the crown .

Gregory Sashington , better known as Heavy Crownz , hailing from the south side of Chicago ; 63rd and Parnell - in the dangerous Englewood community , writes music with a urban feel and Afrocentric undertones . With a degree in History from Tuskegee University , Crownz is an mc that aims to bring all the wealth of knowledge he ’ s obtained back to his very own tribal grounds . Heavy has been rapping since the young age of 8 and first fell in love with Hip-Hop while watching his older cousin recite Bone Thugs- N-Harmony lyrics . Some of his main musical influences include : Common , Nas , Rakim , Curren $ y , Kanye West and Do or die . With a style of flow he calls “ Afrocentric Urban ” Heavy ’ s strongest motivations to go on have been the need for people to have impactful music with substance and purpose . Heavy Crownz has released three mixtapes and two EPs under his old stage name “ Dilemma ”, “ All in good time ”, “ Sincerely Dope ” and “ Cadillac confessions to name a few .

What three words sum up your wave of music ?
Why ?
Relatable , Uplifting , and Afrocentric
What makes your music different ?
What makes my music different is my end goal and how I aim to accomplish that goal . My music speaks of love , unity and self determination . Moreover my music is a perfect blend of easy going vibes and thought provoking subject matters for the purpose of creating a common ground between the reactionary and the revolutionary .
