For Cory, better known as WBC Da Boss, music isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifeline. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, he found himself searching for a way to deal with everything life threw at him. Music became that outlet. “It was an easy way for me to express myself and my life,” he says. “I’ve really lived what I rap about. I don’t have to fake it.”
That authenticity is what sets Cory apart. While plenty of artists talk about struggle, Cory’s stories come straight from his own experience. He doesn’t try to fit anyone else’s mold, and you can tell. The lyrics come out raw and unfiltered, like he’s talking directly to you. “I’m different because I’m authentic. I really live it—have lived it—and I stand out because it comes natural.”
His favorite lyric sums up his whole attitude: “They called us losers but we turned into winners.” That line isn’t just for show—Cory’s proud of where he’s come from, but he’s even more proud of where he’s headed. “I just want to achieve and keep achieving a better life for me and my people. We had it hard enough.”
And now, he’s using his music to lift others up, too. His latest single, “Dear Mama” featuring Ewayy, is a tribute to the strength and sacrifices of mothers everywhere. It’s the kind of track that hits home, especially for anyone who’s ever felt like the odds were stacked against them. Alongside that, his single “Voicemail” digs even deeper, showing vulnerability and grit in equal measure.
