In 2006, CR anchored his emergence as an up and coming artist, touring with 92Q's "Big Phat Believe Tour," in addition to shooting the music video that would accompany his first single. In 2007, CR continued to demand attention from his native city, headlining various shows and opening a performance for recording artists, Tank and Raheem Davaughn. Later that year he would further secure a reoccurring spot on 92.3's "Five O'clock Ride" hosted by radio personalities Konan, Cinnamixx and DJ Jay Claxton, topping the hour with a mixed track that was independently written, performed and produced by the mastermind himself.
2008 began an unparalleled year for the soulful artist, as his highly anticipated album, "Show & Tell", was released. Fans and supporters expressed high expectations from the project, and rightfully so. The album was well received and both music critics and fans loved the album. CR has branded himself as a true artist, capable of delivering pure perfection.
Perseverance is what made CR what he is today. Still inspired by other greats such as James Brown, Jay Z, Nas, Usher, Will I AM and T-Pain, in today's music world CR is sure to incorporate his unique style and sound that will have listeners begging for more. Today, the singing sensation is currently working with Hakim Najm, Founder of Dream Star Nappy Boy Entertainment. Najm is the brother of Grammy Award winning artist & producer T-Pain.
