Robbing A Drug Dealer & SURVIVING Jail | Chris Webby
Born & raised in Connecticut, Chris Webby showed drive and passion for music at a young age, beginning to write rap songs at age 11. The only child of a middle school teacher and guitarist, Chris enjoyed his alone time and began experimenting with drugs.
In 2009, he was arrested for an attempted robbery on a drug dealer at his college. Though he only spent a week in jail, he was expelled from the college. This was the catalyst for him. In two years, he released six mixtapes, went on to found his own label, toured all over the country & worked with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Webby is a legend. Been a fan 10+ years. Not many people can last 15 years and make a living in hiphop, especially nowadays. Goes to show what he’s built over the years

I met this dude at an engagement party and had a dope conversation with him for about 20 mins and had no clue he was a rapper until my girlfriend told me the next day 😂 I’ve since started listening to him.
Honestly think webby just summed up ADHD perfectly. In a nutshell we can't focus on anything we aren't into but if we're into something we'll focus like crazy and also we are kinda a bit crackheaded naturally and do scatterbrained things for no real reason. Think I need to be medicated again tbh 😂😂
I’d love to see Ekoh on here he’s another genuine down to earth guy with a lot of talent!!
Love to see Chris Webby on a pod cast! Hope to see more of it!
One of my favourites been listening to Webby for years should get Jelly Roll on the podcast for his story

I saw Chris in 2019 or so, in Sydney Australia. I saw him chilling around the venue, I was hanging with a mate, we were talking about hiphop shows. And I walked up to Chris Webby, and said I was a big fan, he asked me "What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?" I listed off about 6-8 songs, "Good Day, Raw Thoughts, Weirdo" etc and he was like "oh so youre like a proper fan?" I was like "yeah bro you're sick!" And he was like "do you like whisky?" "Yeah!" "Do you wanna come back stage, and drink some Jameson with me, before the show starts?" He was really cool! Shout-out from Australia you Mad-Cunt! 😅😂
Chris Webby is one of my favorite musicians. His chemically imbalanced album helped me through some tough times. I enjoy all his music and hope to see even more in the future. Thanks for the interview
Great interview! Webby has always been one of my favorite rappers and it is nice to see him reflect on his growth as a rapper and human. His music has helped me through a lot of anxiety and depression and I am forever grateful to be a consumer of his art.
Webby is the man been rockin out with him for 6 years now and I’m finally catching a show
Ive been followung Webby since pretty much day 1. Way back in the day when he was dropping tracks with the likes of Dizzy Wright. He's absolutely one of my favorites!! The fact thats he's stayed independent and drops the type of 🔥 that he does is a testament to his gift and talent. He's a true lyricist and I've found plenty of motivation through listening to him. Great episode. Wish I would have known about it earlier, but better late than never.
This was an excellent interview. As someone who made a mistake, and followed a 'player 1' had to negotiate the legal system, and then worked hard and made better choices, I felt this story resonate

Thanks Derek!!!
I love him so much. 97 percent of his music is bangers. Amazing catalog.
Another great interview Ian. Chris reminded me of family time consisting of hauling our daughter’s boyfriend’s local North Texas band to the shows. It was the screamo/emo era. The band even set up a studio in our gameroom and recorded Dallas bands up there. Just turned 63 today and I’m think my husband (73 yrs old) and I were totally in a midlife crisis holding onto our glory days! Best of luck Ian and Chris!
Webby saved my life through his music a cpl years back. He has no idea how grateful this Southern momma actually is And. His voice , i swear if my inner head thoughts could actually speak, his voice is it
One of my absolute favorites, Webbys music has gotten me through a lot.
Hes a real 1 for sure and a great artist... this was another conversation needed to be heard
Best choice For an interview.. Was lucky enough to meet him and watch The Show. In Vancouver Bc, he is such a solid guy❤
Love Chris Webby! One of the fans that has grown up with him ❤ and have not been to a show. The closest he gets to New Mexico is Denver.
12 minutes in im loving this interview, im a big webby fan and first time on your channel. Thanks Webby is the most underated rapper

I Couldn't believe it when I saw this, honestly my favorite rapper since I was like 15. I'm glad to get to see him talk more in a longer format, also glad it was on Ian's channel. Made my day.
This is the second podcast/interview I’ve watched from Ian and I can say I’m very big on talk radio/podcast and I’m a fan. I love the interview. And it also helps I’m a big webby fan so that’s just the sugar on the cookie!! Great job I’m a fan and will be following along for more!!!
Just listening all episodes thru workday, makes time fly to listen these amazing content and interesting stories 🤌 keep up the good work Ian! 🙏
Webby's take on being an only child was spot on. Adderall and everything.
I been hip to webby before he even had a loyal fan base outside of Connecticut 💯... not to mention the fact he hasn't ever stopped n his evolution as an artist is undeniable... homie can do no wrong

this hits home in a lot of ways, as a person living in CT who is also a music artist, Mr Webby drops a lot of insight into what life is like out here. felt like i was listening to a buddy of a buddy talking during a smoke sess
Been listening to his music for a long time he seems to be a genuine guy Thanks Ian it's awesome to see your channel blow up been watching since u had like 10k subs

So excited to see Webby on here! Just starting it but I know this will be on of my favorites!
Glad to have come across this, been following since la la la was dropped on streaming platforms and ive seen him grow while i grew along the way. But i cant find any other rapper who has stayed true to himself for over a decade after the amount of things he's been through. He'll always be my top streaming artist in my Playlist and I'll go to every show when he comes to town 👌🙏
Mad props to @ianbickCT for makin this convo happen... first webby interview I've seen so brutally honest n clearly not bein told wat to say n wat not to say🔥
Hell yeah 💪 been a Webby fan since forever, awesome to see him in an interview
Duuuudee, Chris webby on Ian Bick. Fucking awesome. I met Chris Webby after one of his shows in Baltimore. This dude is incredibly humble, he walked out the front after the show like he wasn't a artist with a bottle of jamo in his hand, I asked him for a picture and he immediately said "Hell yeah" & we posed. He asked the best place to go in the city & that was that! Most approachable rapper ive ever met. Edit : Ive been following both chris & Ian from the jump & I cant wait to see more from both artist's.

Webby!!! My Dawg!! Twist (La La La) is and has been my favorite song since the day it dropped!!! Great interview, how cool that you used to book him in his early years at your clubs!!! Love you Webby!!
Yall being In Connecticut trips me out listening to ya... growing up in South Norwalk off wilson Ave and over by strawberry hill and city hall and remembering stew Leonard's and pathmark was just a huge walk down memory lane

this is the best inverview you have done sir kudos
I've been listening to webby for years and you for a couple months now. This is a great interview. I have always related with webby a lot (born in '88 myself)and this talk even more so now. I was the same in high-school, no king pin but sold enough to smoke for free and pay for fun things to do. I got busted in 06 and got lucky with a great lawyer! Was definitely where I turned things around for the better for myself. You find your true friends for sure!
A Chris Webby Conspiracy Podcast would be amazing
Yooo this is crazy. I'm a huge Webby fan. Left lane has been my jam for years lol. Also love his story.
I really enjoyed this interview. I’m originally from CT and now reside in RI. Looking to see a lot more of what you have going on.
This was great, love hearing Webby on a podcast.. dude is a real one! Great job guys! Webby just got such great perspective on life.
I listen to you at work. You make my night so much easier. thank you Ian!!!

amazing interview webby is the GOAT!! i cannot imagine what Chemically Imbalanced couldve been like if he had a "Gen Pop Cypher" Freestyle along with the House Party, Blunt Ride, and Label Office Cyphers lmaoooo it could be about him and Kenny getting locked up for the robbery and someone confronting him and telling him to spit and he just goes "KENNY!!!!"
5 minutes in and I'm already relating to Chris when talking about being an only child
Keep it Lit 🔥
I really relate to this being the same age as Webby. I think everyone I grew up with has at least one B&E under their belt.
I as well was an only child. Really resonated with Chris story.
Webby The Legend.
The dude is really as intelligent as he seems in his music. Crazy good pod.
Holy shit, can't believe you got Webby. Didn't see that coming. Great interview my friend
Proud of you Webby 👌👌👌
WEBBY ❤❤ man I love this guy ❤️❤️
Love Webby he has been my favourite rapper since 2008, the vindictive days I wish someone still had the DARE mixtape pre white noise that shit was dope haha hella vintage webb. Much love my fellow 1988 baby. Also Ian much love to you from Canada duder I enjoyed this video
I never thought chris webby would be nostalgic to me...time flies man
