Nashville’s hip hop scene has been steadily evolving, and Christopher Perez, better known by his stage name SBF Ghost, is one of the rising voices adding fresh flavor to the 615. With over a decade of on-and-off dedication to his craft, SBF Ghost embodies that hustle spirit — balancing a solid career in car detailing and construction while grinding in the music game.
His journey started humbly, spitting freestyles over beats like SPM’s “I Must Be High,” but the fire within pushed him beyond casual dabbling. Inspired largely by his own inner drive and the influence of his brother Anthony (Dez10), Ghost grew from making beats to writing lyrics that resonate deeply with fans. While his main lane is rap, he’s also poured his heart into poetry and even dipped into Hispanic music, showcasing versatility that keeps listeners guessing.
Collaboration is key for SBF Ghost, who has linked up with artists like Lowbandoo, SBF Capo, Sosa, and Dez10. Dream features? He’s got his eyes on working with the likes of Santa Fe Klan and BigXThaPlug—names that align with his ambition to bridge cultural sounds and expand his reach. Though he’s independent and fiercely protective of his creative freedom, Ghost is building his own lane rather than signing away his soul, aiming to grow a loyal fanbase on his terms.
Creativity doesn’t stop at the music—he credits his friend Will for bringing their visual concepts to life in music videos, solidifying his artistic vision beyond the studio. When it comes to his personal taste, Ghost’s playlist leans toward the blues-rock vibes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, adding an unexpected layer of depth to his musical palette.
Currently, he’s putting the finishing touches on “Baby Girl” with Lowbandoo, while his latest single “Speakin Facts” is already streaming across all platforms. His next release is just around the corner, promising more heat from this hardworking artist. SBF Ghost’s aspirations extend far beyond the studio, dreaming of performing in Texas and touring with his crew—or even sharing the stage with Kodak Black one day.
With beats produced by his talented friends Basio and Sevv, plus his own DIY creativity on BandLab, SBF Ghost’s sound is authentic and evolving. Five years down the line? Picture him in Greece, living his best life, grapes in hand, enjoying the fruits of his grind.
