Son of a drug dealing mother CHOP-Z battled to
grow up the hard way and make something of himself. He found solace in Hip hop
which he obsessed about from a young age and later He discovered a talent for
emceeing which he decided to nurture to get away from the hustling and dealing
and killingas he saw around him on a daily basis. His older cousin Vado who is
in the music industry as an artist signed under DJ Khaled, just told him to
stay "humble & hungry" which he took to heart and be decided to
focus 100% on building a successful career in music and never looked back.
Free Formed is a tremendous piece of work.
The pain and emotion of his difficult upbringing can be heard clear as crystal
in his accomplished delivery. His key messages in his lyrics titles such as ‘Free
formers’, ‘Soundbwoy Killing’,
Goosebumps’ , ‘Miss Bedroom Eyes’, ‘Building’ and ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ showcase
the ability of an artist who has a wide range of diverse skills and can sets
moods in his songs accordingly.
The video for ‘Cry for the Youths’ (see
video link below), was filmed in Jamaica and is a Ghetto Lament. A song about
how the hopes, aspirations and innocence in a young child’s eyes can disappear
when then grow in an unproductive
negative environment and how this situation is all unacceptable on our planet
in 2016.
His influence such power house artists as
Nas, DMX, Big L, Tupac, Garnet Silk. As a youth he was schooled in the art
Reggae. His Uncle had a Sound system which blasted nothing but hard music,
night and day. Chop-z used to rap on over some of the songs from when he was as
young as three years old.
