​VISUAL has a unique approach along with an intense work ethic that has given him an artistic angle not common in the industry. Known for his signature Blue Collar work ethic, his career encompasses his own public relations, promotion, bookings and own music release. He started his rap career in the local battle scene, winning several notable battles. In 2002, he started his own Indie label; Community Service Records. His sound is universal but rooted in the essence of Hip Hop and of the people and the streets of Chicago. His conscience message overshadows the violence and negative stereotypes Chicago has recently been recognized for.

The Latino artist was born in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, moved to Mexico City soon after and came back to Logan Square a few years later where he spent most of his youth. Growing up a Latino kid in Chicago, provided VISUAL the inspiration and experience to begin writing poems, which evolved into the songs we hear today.

"The ego-smashing trend of ultra-realness has reached the windy shores of the Chi.
VISUAL presents himself to be nothing more than who he is"
David Vidal - Urb Magazine
