Moreno Valley artist R3 Da Chilliman lives up to the promise of his title, The People’s Choice, with his debut album. The 23-year-old rapper enlists a roster of West Coast including OhGeesy and 03 Greedo plus buzzing acts KARRAHBOOO and Chikoruss. The album represents an evolution for R3 as he trumpets his resolve against all odds. On “Bacc Out” he declares, “They said I wouldn’t make it, had to grind out the gutter” and truer words have never been spoken.
R3 dropped his 300 debut mixtape Chilli Season in March 2023 with features from Kalan.FrFr, ALLBLACK and 03 Greedo. Earmilk proclaimed, “His structured flow and gritty vernacular blend effortlessly into the west coast hip-hop scene.” His viral sensation “Rock & Roll” with fellow West Coast bar spitter stoneda5th has generated over 5 million streams and positioned him as one of the region’s breakout stars. In 2022, R3 joined Fenix Flexin on his Mid-West tour and was named one of Audiomack’s “10 Rappers You Should Know.” R3’s come-up has just begun, and he has no plans to slow down anytime soon.
