The Midwest Native and Chicago's very own newest up coming artist Johnathan "Ristic" Adams is definitely making his mark in the hip-hop/rap era of the new generation.
Ristic also known as John to family and friends was born on Dec.9, 1990. As a child John did'nt have a lifestyle of just any normal kid. Growing up he was introduced to drugs, Fatherhood, and the ways of the streets. Being introduced to the negatives that the world has to offer made life very ruff for John. Even though it never seemed like his world of pain and struggle would never end John overcame his obsticles and went a stray to the street life he once knew. With that turn arond he set out to pursue and build a strong positive foundation that he shares with family and close loved ones.That very foundation and passion lead John to a group of brothers who shared the same passion for music as he did. John had always loved music since the age of 12. He first took it seriously at the age of 14 listening to the hottest hip-hop, rap, and R&B. His strong passion for writing music lead him to forming a group which was known as "Urban League" or "Tha League Boyz" at the age of 14. By that time in his life John was recording at a professional studio on the westside of Chicago. Their they made their High Schools first known songs by the name of "Pull It Back" & "Aye Girl". During heir journey through High School John was involved in a fight off school grounds and suffered from Blunt Facial Trauma caused from a lethal blow to the face. Although the group had made each other better in different ways they all deceided it was time to split and go their seperate ways in pursueing their passions for music. John was no longer a group artist no he then set out to building his own name Independently.By the time John graduated he had accomplished so many things that revovled around his music career. He has recorded over five mixtapes, collaborated with many artist, and has built his talented skills to a levle where his fans are always pleased with the work he puts out. At the age of 21 John has more than enough reason to feel he has succeeded and will reap the benefits of fulfilling his dreams. John is now learning the true sides of business and how the game works. In doing so John obtained things that only a artist can dream of. By that I meen John is the C.E.O/Co Founder of his legitimately owned lable "Futuristic Ent.", He has obtained official copy rights, correct marketing abilities, recieves an issue of Disc Makers monthly, has connections for original production and much much more. John has built a steady and firm foundation for himself to grow from. John now stands Independent but now has also made a business partnership that lead to him grouping with old high School friends who are also under a lable known as "120 Fifteen Ent./Productions". The strongly built and hard working lables both strive together to make a very appealing 1st Quarter. John's Debute mixtape "Getting Back 2 Business" will have fans on the edge as he takes you through his life of Struggle, Hustle, & Happiness. The up coming mixtape includes features from 120 Fifteen's member "Universe", M.D.M.G member "Phlip Jey", and H.H.M.G "Herc". The young artist has came a long way with a band of brothers who share the same passion for music as he does. John now sets off to drop the mixtape sometime in March along with putting out original production in the yearof 2012. He is definitely one of those Talented, Hard Working, and unsigned hype kind of artist that the industry needs and hopefully will have in the near future to come.
