Chino XL born in The Bronx, New York and raised in East Orange, New Jersey is a well respected lyrical titan among hip hop enthusiasts for his witty bars, immaculate delivery, and over the top battling abilities. He is notorious for his usage of self-consciously over-the-top punchlines (which usually take the form of puns or similes) and for his exaggerated egotism. Chino has since been a very prominent and at times controversial figure in the hiphop culture. He has released many other projects that have rocked the hiphop community and solidified his veteran status etched in the hiphop history books. His songs are complex, and have been widely used for studying purposes in universities and such. He is also from MENSA.
