From the storied blocks of East Harlem’s AK Houses, Chaundon emerged as a lyrical titan, known for his gritty storytelling, unapologetic honesty, and relentless dedication to the craft. Widely recognized by those in the know as the best rapper from Harlem, Chaundon came up during a time when only the strong survived—and proved himself early by battling Drag-On of the Ruff Ryders camp back in the ’90s. That battle wasn’t just a moment—it was a message: Chaundon was here, and he wasn’t backing down from anyone.
Raised in the thick of Harlem’s culture, Chaundon soaked up the sounds, stories, and struggles around him, turning them into bars that hit as hard as his truth. His journey led him to Vacant Lot Records, a label distributed by the legendary Priority Records, where he refined his voice and vision alongside some of the biggest names in hip-hop. Over the years, he’s collaborated with artists like Scarface, Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Max B, Webstar, Ron Browz, Neek Bucks, Raymula, Pyrex, and many more—building a body of work rooted in real-life experience, Harlem hustle, and lyrical precision.
But Chaundon isn’t just a name in the credits—he’s a movement. His upcoming mixtape, Million Dollar Dream, Federal Nightmare, is a powerful reflection of his journey: the highs and lows, the wins and setbacks, and the unshakable belief that greatness is earned, not given. It’s a project for the streets, the dreamers, the ones who never had a silver spoon—but always had a voice.
Chaundon’s music is Harlem, unfiltered. It’s the story of a survivor, a wordsmith, and a legend still writing his next chapter.
And he’s just getting started.
