DJ Iron Mic met up with Chris Rivers at the Monster Outbreak House at SXSW, and discussed his role as a new artist in New York hip hop, and how the legacy of his father impacts that role. They also touched on where his artistic sound stands in comparison to the sound of current commercial hip hop, his outside the box musical influences, and future projects and tour dates.
