1. Artist name and where did it originated from?
Well my artist name origin is funny & ironic. One of my favorite tv shows ever is from 2007 and it’s called “Gossip Girl”. I know , I know you’re asking yourself why a grown man is watching a drama/romance series. Well one of the main characters personas really stuck to me . His name was Chuck Bass . At first his character seemed mean & uncanny. He did a lot of wrong things, but overtime he grew & blossomed. It took harsh trials and tribulations to help him realize that nothing in life comes easy. After enduring so much pain he became a strong minded, pure hearted, perceptive, and idealistic leader of the show & I felt that on a personal level. So I became Chuck Ba$$ . Also I have the money signs not because of Joey bada$$ . But due to the fact that there are hundreds of Chuck Bass’s out there but there is only one Chuck Ba$$ and to be frank as my group After Death Society says: " Everything I do is money".

4. What makes your music different than other artists ?
After a year of taking a break from music in 2016; I sat back and really worked on my craft. Things such as rhyme schemes, analogies, harmonizing, and constructing a song in general. I learned it all. Learning music itself encouraged me to push boundaries. I want to surpass my influences so I put myself in their shoes and take more steps than they would. Now I have the ability to rap and sing on anything I like. I don’t only have presence in my music but also substance, meaning, quality, and taste. And people would call that a breathe of fresh air .
