Who Is Chi?
Chi TheRealist is a Chicago-born, Rochester-raised hip-hop artist, spoken word poet, and storyteller. His music explores mental health, grief, fatherhood, and healing through honest lyrics rooted in his own experiences. His projects, Through The Fire and Shadow Work, reflect his journey through loss and personal growth. He has opened for Rick Ross, Danielle Ponder, Anees, and Joyner Lucas, and performed his one-man show, Ventilation, at Geva Theatre. Beyond music, Chi works with young people and uses his art to help others feel seen, understood, and less alone.
