A_Rival: Chip-hop defined...electronic rap at its rawest.

While many musicians continue to struggle to find their niche, in a few short years A_Rival established himself as a game industry renaissance man by developing a loyal following and fanbase from the national electronic gaming community through multiple means.

As, not only, a well-regarded "Street Fighter gaming competitor", A_Rival is best known for composing multiple soundtracks for Nokia's, now defunct, gaming division, as well as the title-screen music for Capcom's XBOX Live! "Super Street Fighter II HD Remix." A_Rival's remix of Clamato Fever is one of the most popular game music tracks on YouTube.com, having received hundreds of thousands of 'plays' to date.

His industry connections lead him to quickly develop and promote his underground performer persona, A_Rival, and his 8-bit infused "Chip-Hop" sound directly at those individuals who would become the core of his fanbase: The Electronic Gaming Community. Through his numerous industry connections and the ability to put on a riveting stage show, in under a year, A_Rival's stature in the gaming industry is that of a leading and in-demand performer at the biggest public and corporate parties held during the foremost Electronic Gaming Expositions in America, including MagFest, PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) and E3, and for corporations such as Microsoft.

In conclusion, Paul Lipson states, "A_Rival stands at the apex of video game history and new music innovation. The revolution is well underway, and it has an 8-Bit champion changing all the rules and setting the pace!"
