Who is Chaptabois?
Brothers Snype and Shankanites, known from the renowned Secta 7 crew, have been influential figures in the underground hip hop scene for over 15 years. Despite the challenges of being independent artists, their dedication, relentless work ethic, and unwavering ambition have brought immense rewards.
Born and raised in Houston, TX, Chaptabois began their journey performing at clubs and showcases, gradually gaining recognition. Their music caught the attention of the film and television industry, leading to features in movies and numerous television shows over the past decade. Their distinctive sound and authentic lyrics resonated with a broad audience, solidifying their reputation as trailblazers in the hip hop community.
Their accomplishments include creating the theme song for the Houston Astros World Series and crafting a hit for Floyd Mayweather’s fight against Pacquiao. These high-profile projects catapulted them into the mainstream, yet they never lost their underground roots. Their latest single, "Get to the Bag," is sparking a new wave in hip hop, energizing listeners and setting new trends.
The journey of Chaptabois as independent artists has been far from easy. Without the backing of major record labels, they had to wear multiple hats—managing their own promotions, distribution, and finances—while continually honing their craft. This experience taught them resilience, resourcefulness, and a deep understanding of the business side of the music industry.
Their willingness to tackle these challenges head-on helped mold the group, making them more self-reliant and innovative. They developed a DIY ethos, learning to maximize every opportunity and leverage their unique strengths. This independence allowed them to maintain full creative control over their music, ensuring that their vision remained authentic and unfiltered.
