Chinx Drugz
Chinx Drugz is running on empty right now. The rapper's been up for hours after an all-night recording session at Diddy's Daddy's House Recording Studio in Midtown, which at one point included French Montana, Travis Scott, Harry Fraud and strangely, a hookah-puffing Macklemore.

Being in the thick of it is nothing new for Chinx. The Far Rockaway native has always found himself inside hip-hop's nucleus since the start of his career. He became affiliated with French Montana and the Coke Boyz through a shared network of mentors: Chinx came up under local legend Stack Bundles as French did with Max B. While Chinx was incarcerated upstate at Mid-State Correctional Facility, Stack was killed by gunshot in 2007. Chinx is still haunted by it, but music has been his catharsis, fueling him to continue the legacy of his fallen friend.
After a prolific mixtape career, which includes the popular Cocaine Riot series and 2012's infectious "I'm A Coke Boy," Chinx is evolving into the next chapter of his career. He's dropped "Drugz" from his nom de guerre to increase his viability beyond street rap and has a new EP called I'll Take It From Here.
Still a little delirious from lack of sleep, Chinx invited us into the studio for perhaps his most personal interview.
Being a rapper from New York City always comes with the added pressure to uphold the sanctity of so-called "real, NYC hip-hop". How are you feeling?
I don't feel any pressure at all, to tell you the truth.
Maybe it's the sleep deprivation talking, but you're incredibly relaxed on the eve of your EP release. Does anything stress you out?
I ain't get no sleep, so maybe that's it. I try not to let people see that I get stressed out. You can have a bad day and the energy you give off can push a good situation for away without you knowing it. I just try and be quiet. I've always been like that. I'm not a hard person to get along with. That's how I make my relationships with everybody in the game. I've been in this studio about, ******* 30 times, and I never said anything.
How will that demeanor play out in a genre filled with braggadocio?
I don't care about that ****. This is definitely a competitive sport. I got what it takes to compete, so I'm straight. I don't gotta compete the way you want me to compete. I'm chill. I'm straight. My bills is paid.
I always think that quiet people are hiding something. Got any secrets?
We all hiding secrets. I'm not gonna tell you!
Fair enough. Your new single "Feelings" with French Montana is remarkably depressing. Where did this come from?
You asked me if I ever get stressed out? That song wasn't just some **** I did to the beat because I thought it sounded cool. I really felt like that when I made that song. Honestly, I was going through some **** with music. I felt like there was a lot of things that wasn't going in my favor and it was like eating me up. Then I snapped out of it like, what you kill you eat. I'm complaining to myself, like who gives a **** how I'm feeling? It was a lot of personal ****. It's not everybody's turn at the same time.
You've been patient, pursuing music for over 10 years. Was there ever a time you wanted to throw in the towel?
Of course. I just stopped hustling last year. I would come back from ******* Europe, wherever, and go back to the projects and sit on the bench and answer my phone and get my money. That was last year. That's why if you look at the "Feelings" video, French drops me off in the projects. Some little kid is worried about a "million-dollar rapper" and he doesn't realize I live in the same projects. That's real life. I don't live in the projects now but for a while, that was the situation.
What kept you motivated in dire times?
I always knew I was well equipped to compete with anyone else doing this ****. I believe in me. If you can hustle one thing, you can hustle the next.
I recently interviewed Troy Ave and he drew the analogy between selling drugs in NYC and the music industry.
Definitely. You have to. When you're selling drugs, in order to get to the "sale," when this person is putting money in your hands and you're giving them a product, it's things you gotta go through. You gotta watch for the police. You gotta watch for the ****** trying to rob you. You gotta watch for the ***** in the window that's working with the police. There's so much ****. Same thing with music. You can't get to the bag without dealing with the haters, the cum drinkers, the ******* devils. You gotta maneuver your way through the same **** to get to the prize. I honestly, think it's easier to go to the NBA than be a successful rapper.
Why not just get a nice 9-to-5 job and live a simple life then?
At one point, it was like that. That's not what I want for myself. I like nice things. I like pretty girls. I like for my kids to have nice things. You can't do that in America now with no ******* 9-to-5. You're gonna have to do something illegal on the side. I sleep good at night. At one point, I didn't. That had nothing to do with music. That was the streets. I don't deal with the same demons I had a few years ago. Everything is pretty much level.
What kind of demons are we talking?
When you out in the streets doing ****** up ****, ****** up **** comes back to you. Like it's ****** up to sell drugs to your neighbor's mother. Like when you really think about it the ****-- I'm not knocking those that don't see that--but that's the type of **** I was doing. I didn't look at it like I was doing anything wrong to that lady. Her kids would be in the hallway and I'm doing that ****. That **** don't balance out. For what? So I can get some sneakers and an outfit? Flash some money in front of some ****? That kid is gonna remember his Moms was a crackhead. If you really think about it, it's karma.

It's not a mixtape. It is an official EP available on iTunes. Unless you look elsewhere.

With the lukewarm response to CR4 and the lackluster content. What do yous all think is next up for Chinx? I heard he's headlining his first tour this year which I think is a bad move, dude don't got that name recognition yet outside of NY.
I think he needs to link up with Khaled and get on one of them posse cuts. Get a hit under his belt. Feelings ain poppin no more and Couple ****** never took off.

Man that song Feelings should've taken off...but it didn't help following that up with mediocre Cocaine Riot 4. Coke Ways 4 was fantastic though
