About

Will C is a hip hop artist in NYC known for his highly technical flows and sharp lyricism. Born and raised in Boston, Will C brings a New England flavor to New York boom bap, with cerebral wordplay and sardonic subject matter.

Will started writing raps at age 10, but really got his start in high school, posting written compositions and home-brewed voice notes onto online hip hop forums in the late 2000s. As a college Freshman in 2012, Will helped found the Harvard College Rap Collective, Harvard’s first official student society for the creation and performance of hip hop music.

After graduating in 2016, Will moved to New York, where he put hip hop in the rear-view to instead build a career in organizational psychology. But it wasn’t long before Will made friends in the local hip hop scene and got pulled in, cyphering with neighbors, performing around the city (Elsewhere Space, Silvana, Fight Klub), and collaborating with some of the city’s most advanced underground artists.

Will C released his debut project, The Realest, on September 18th, 2022 - his 29th birthday. The project is a small glimpse into his world and just a taste of the material he has in store.

Music

Released on his 29th birthday, The Realest EP is a showcase of Will C’s breadth of styles and depth of song-crafting. Each song has a totally different vibe, but they’re all unified by one common theme: top-notch lyricism. It’s a hell of a debut project.

Performance super-cut

Will C has had the great fortune of performing on a few legendary stages, as well as the honor of emceeing intimate get-togethers for friends. Here are some of the few times it’s actually been captured on film. 😆

Highlights include:

• The Middle East Club, Cambridge MA, 2014

• Sanders Theater, Cambridge MA, 2016

• Elsewhere Space, Brooklyn NY, 2021

• Silvana, Harlem NY, 2021

I’m available for performances, interviews, and collaborations.

Also - I just so happen to be a professional in the field of organizational psychology (I was six years deep into a consulting career before catching the hip hop bug). If you’re looking for techniques to super-charge your team’s motivation, process, or skills, I’d love to help.
