Krohme (born Chris Moore on August 16, 1980) is an American hip hop MC and producer, noted for his work with The Game, Kool G Rap, Nas, GZA, DJ Starscream, Obie Trice, MF Grimm, Atari Blitzkrieg, Ron Artest, MC Serch, Hell-Razah, Sean Price, Ras Kass, C-Rayz Walz and more. His music has been featured on MTV, BET, HBO and slated to appear in an upcoming 2K Sports game.
A native of Alexandria, VA Krohme (often incorrectly listed as "Khrome") became interested in music at an early age. From playing classical instruments to mixing records on his mother’s turntable, he developed an ear for music. Using his own diverse musical interests, which included hip-hop, soul, rock, heavy metal and classical, he began sampling records to develop a unique musical library that he extended to local artists and, eventually, unsigned artists along the East Coast.
It wasn’t until 2004 that Krohme began sending beat CDs off to record labels. Disappointed with a lack of response, he began reaching out to various artists and labels via the internet. He got in touch with GZA’s DJ and was able to get his music in the hands of the legendary MC as well as generate interest from other MCs.
His first big break came when Hell Razah of Black Market Militia/Sunz of Man asked Krohme to produce a track for his upcoming solo album, working under a tight deadline. The resulting track was well received and resulted in Hell-Razah requesting additional tracks.
