With a population of around 1800 people, it's safe to say that Miami, Arizona isn't necessarily known for their urban artistic community. This is something that is clear to Chris Leach; As someone who has come up in the streets of "Boomtown", he knows that there is a large story locked away inside the borders of the small, southwest mining town. Using C. Leach as his moniker, keeping it real and true to form are values that the 29 year old rapper wants to bring to the hip-hop table.
C. Leach draws his inspiration from some of the best spitters in hip-hop. From Royce Da 5'9 to Curren$y, it is clear that Leach has an appreciation for clever delivery, hard hitting metaphors and fantastical rhyme schemes. Since 2017, he has already made his presence in the Arizona hip-hop scene felt, performing in front of thousands opening for Joyner Lucas, to earning a slot on the popular Arizona Hip Hop Festival TWICE! Publications and brands such as IKON Radio and NuPlaylist have already recognized what C. Leach has to offer.
After laying the groundwork, Leach finally released his first single, MAD AT US, to the masses. Featuring the ever so unique Dela Preme, the new single acts as a launchpad for Leach. Already garnering tens of thousands of streams on Spotify alone, it is clear that C. Leach wants the world to know he is here to stay. With more new music on the way, Leach is on a journey to share his stories with the world.
