Chris Foxx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Foxx is a New York party promoter/hip hop impresario who has served as host on over fifteen hip hop mixtpaes and has worked in the recording industry for years most notably with The Diplomats. He was involved in a swirl of controversy in early 2005 when he was involved in a bidding war between Warner Music Group and Def Jam South over his A&R services. Foxx is recognized as a founding member of the the southern hip hop conglomerate Tha GMC and Best Out Media. Since Spring 2006 media outlets have linked Chris Foxx to model/actress Sara Pickett though both have declined to address the rumors. Foxx has not escaped the drama of beef that has plauged hip hop. In summer 2004 Young City from Hip Hop mogul Diddy's failed rap group Da Band felt that Foxx was responsible for allowing another rapper to "diss" him on his mixtape "504 Takeover". Rumor has it that there was a confrontation between the two at a music festival in New Orleans but no one from their respected camps denied nor verified the rumor. Foxx and Young City later made peace in the fall of 2005 and Young City was featured on Foxx's mixtape "Power Move". Chris Foxx recently sat on a panel to discuss the state of hip hop in the Midwest and can be seen on the latest "Cocaine City" DVD. According to reports, Chris Foxx is releasing the much anticipated mixtapes "Power Move 2: The New Season" and "Chairman of the Board" this winter.
