New Liskeard, Northern Ontario
Northern Ontario Hip-Hop Raw Resilience | BET Single — May 8, 2026
From New Liskeard's small-town grit, Chris Hopkins turns pain into power. A suicide survivor and devoted father, Chris forges a legacy that refuses to be silenced.
Every bar carries the weight of those he's lost — his father Terrance, brothers Maurice & Robbin, and his homie Donnie "Kasper" Hurst. Their memory fuels every verse, every hook, every breath on the mic.
Music didn't just save Chris Hopkins — it gave him a reason to save others. Northern Ontario's most authentic voice is just getting started.
