Chad Allen (ChadTheblogger)

My name is Chad Allen. I wear many hats (mostly because I have a receding hairline *ba-doom-psshhh*). I'm a college graduate, an aspiring musician, a son, a thinker, a brother, a fun-lover, an uncle, and a friend.

This world can be a scary place, but it can also be beautiful. People can be cruel and selfish, but they can also be kind, caring, and generous. Life can be hard, and it can be easy, but we can always be grateful for what we have.

This is my blog. It was originally a hip-hop blog, but after writing a few posts I found out I want to talk about other things in addition to my favorite music. These are my thoughts, thoughtfully expressed with expressive words. Whatever that means :-)

Enjoy!

Chad

Selling Out: An Alternative Definition

Many believe that an artist changing their style to appeal to the masses is a grave mistake in the creative process. They call this "selling out". I offer a different definition of this term.

You Record Where?

Some musicians pay for studio time. A lucky few have their own studio. The rest of us record wherever we have available.

Hip-Hop: The Lifeblood of Sports

Visit a gameday locker room, high school to professional, rural to urban, and you're guaranteed to hear music blasting. And more often than not, you'll hear hip-hop music.
