Album Notes

Born and raised in Athens Georgia, C-Fre$h, represents a core of the rap and hip-hop movement in this Classic City. The "Prince of the Classic" is known for both his incredible metaphors and his remarkable work ethic. He has a following that is relentless and constantly evolving. Support has only grown for this roots based rapper as word has spread like fire across the independent industry. After signing with Mantooth Music, C-Fresh and Mantooth, found a sound that was original to the Classic City. This sound would be deemed, “majestic ghetto-tech”, by Athens’ prestigious Flagpole Magazine. In June of 2007, C-Fre$h released his first mixtape, "Self-Made Vol. 1". In June of 2008, he followed with a second mixtape, “Self-Made Vol. 2”. They were termed mixtapes, not for lack of a better word but because each compact disc contains over twenty tracks and some samples. However, they are packed with over eighty percent original production. The layout of the tracks and the art is not traditional in the sense of an average “mixtape”. Each CD was an experiment in both musical and visual art. In. June of 2008, C-Fresh was nominated as “Best Rap Act” for “The Flagpole Music Awards” in Athens Georgia. Not only did C-Fresh have the honor of the nomination, he was the only rap artist invited to perform at the ceremonies, which were held at The Morton Theatre, in downtown Athens. C-Fresh has been featured in many forms of press. He was recently featured in Skope Magazine as the “Artist to Watch” and The Greenville Times, has noted his political action in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. He has faired well in the local press with mentions in UGA’s, “The Red and Black” and also in, “The Athens Banner Herald” which has applied the “Best Bet” title to him, more than once. His second mixtape release was the platform for both his debut music video “So Fly” and his debut EP which has received world wide attention. It has been noticed by Sony Playstation, a multitude of independent distribution sites and can be found across the web. The EP is progressive, from the album art to its enhancements to contain the “So Fly” music video. Throughout this time he has graced the stage with many familiar names from Attitude and B.O.B to Grand Hustle’s Young LA. C-Fresh was lucky enough to see the stages of the world famous Apache Café in Atlanta, The High Note Lounge in Birmingham Alabama and the historic, Morton Theatre in his hometown. C-Fresh is currently working on his first full-length album while maintaining his physical presence by performing shows around the Southeast. He can be found monthly at Tasty World, Athens most progressive music venue.
