Atari Blitzkrieg

Biography

Chris Moore, known as Atari Blitzkrieg, is a Virginia based American hip-hop artist. He is known for his heavy use of alliteration, multi-syllabic rhyming schemes, and incorporation of various genres into his music.
A review on Music Zeitgeist states, "Atari Blitzkrieg is not a noise-core post-electro-clash/Blade Runner tributary. Evoking something more along the lines of Jedi Mind Tricks sharing kind with Common and maybe even MC. 900 Ft. Jesus, Atari Blitzkrieg is ready to drop a fat collection of eloquence and Cheshire Cat propensity on the sleepy indie music world."

History

Chris Moore was exposed to a wide range of musical genres at an early age. He began experimenting with music as a cellist in elementary school.
