The Meteoric Rise To Stardom
At the time when there were no major advancements being made in animation, Pixar had already peaked and imaging was something that very few people in Hip Hop knew of, Romero made a transition into Hip Hop and introduced thesource.com to the digital world. His career with 50 Cent and G Unit gained momentum as he started producing several animated music videos and promos.
In 2008, he created a social networking and news website, ‘Thisis50.com’ that became one of the most popular websites within no time. He worked with 50 Cent and G Unit on several marketing campaigns that were a great success. He even tweets for 50 Cent on Twitter. His own social media fame skyrocketed with his website that has accumulated a fan base of more than 220,000.
Most famous of all his animated videos are; 50 Cent – ‘Piggy Bank’, G Unit – ‘My Buddy’, Prodigy – ‘Illuminati’ and of course Big Pun - ‘How We Roll’. His other music videos include 40 Glocc – ‘Welcome to California’, Boobe - ‘My Way’, Tony Yayo – ‘Die Slow’ and 50 Cent – ‘I Get Money’. He also made the promo videos Willow Smith – ‘Whip My Hair’ and 50 Cent - ‘The Massacre DVD Intro’.
Today, he has a following of over 150,000 on Twitter and You Tube. He has also exploited Reverb Nation’s Tune Widget, tracking tools and applications for fans to easily become involved in the marketing and promotion of the music of G-Unit and Thisis50.com on the web. For over 15 years, he has built up a reputation as one of the best animators in the Hip – Hop digital space.
From coming to fame with Big Pun’s ‘How We Roll’, he has recently come full circle by animating and directing hologram virtual performances for deceased rapper Easy E and Ol Dirty Bastard at the Rock the Bells Hip Hop festival. Lately InCapta, Inc. (OTC PINK: INCT), through its subsidiary Play Celebrity Games, announced the hiring of Chris ‘Broadway’ Romero as its long term consultant.
He will be working with the John Fleming and Play Celebrity Games team to create a new and exciting world of entertainment, art and technology beyond the music and screen scene, where every game will feel like a living extension of a celebrity.
