Vice Fashion - Rap Dreams

If you know anything about the working class of Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Queens, you know their obsession with child rappers. The same way moms in Wisconsin enter their daughters in beauty pageants and help them with their routines, Bushwick moms enter their sons in rap battles and help them with their rhymes. Brooklyn’s Lil’ Chris Santiago is one of these kids. He’s 10 years old, and his mother is trying to break him into the Christian rap scene.

“

I just say, ‘Yo yo yo / My name is Lil’ Chris / I came to rap about Jesus
