Chip went for the name Chipmunk at first.And then he decided to use chip.He shortened the name.Chip then decided to do online blogs to keep up with his fans.And that was such a smart idea for him to do.Because he can keep up when it comes to his rappers.And to make sure that they know what their favourite rapper is up to and what they are doing.He uploaded a freestyle of himself on youtube and it got a lot of attention.When it comes to Chip freestyles he gets attention for that and people think his really good. at it
Chip was one of the few Uk rappers Meek mill jeezy , T.i.Not that many uk rapper can do that and it’s very hard for them when it comes to making sure that they are able to collab.He released his freestyle called Fright night.And he also collaborated with Stormzy and also Shalo im fine.Chip did a freestyle and he also called out Tinie tempah .When it comes to rappers there are going to be situations were rappers go back and forth because that is the culture of Music.In 2015 he released a song called Pepper ridim and he hit back at 5 rappers.
After 6 years he released his third album called League of my own.And then released another album called 10 in 2018.There has been situations that Chip has been and the first one is with Tinie tempah .The situation wa so big on social media.This was a bit of shock for some people .Because Tinie tempah was just focusing on releasing music that were doing well in the uk .People didn’t really think about him as a Battle rapper.And then he got into another situation with Bugzy malone he released other tracks like Run Out Riddim” and “Hat Trick” .The same week.
He also got into a feaud with Stormzy and Yungen.When it comes to Chip it’s quite obvious that he is a battle rapper .Battle rappers and actual Rapper are 2 completely different people.It’s not honest sayin that they are the same people.They don’t do the same thing.They are very different.There has be to be a lane when it comes to rappers that are completely different from each other.Because when they are different.They are very different.And they really show the type of people that they are.When it comes to Music everybody has their own style that they portray on there and it’s quite serious.
Chip started to make a name for himself when he was just a teen.And the generation that he grew up on.Is very different from now.He is currently 34 year old.And he has been in the industry since he was 16 years old.There are some rappers that started blowing up at this age.But for him.He already made a name for himself.So what is different about him.Some people may want him to evolve and change up his sound.Because they may feel like he needs to change up his sound so that he doesn’t sound like everyone else.And that is true that can be a big problem.
He is from tottenham there has been successful rappers that are from there Stormzy , Avelino , Skepta , abra cadabra and much more.What special about tottenham is it the multicultural society that helps it a lot.That can make it a huge difference.London is such an interesting place when it comes to the different people that you will come across.Uk rapper s have it more hard.Because of the culture of the uk.When it comes to not liking anything.And that is the truth.The culture is different and it’s hard.People have to make a name for themselves in a way that they have to stand out.
The culture in American when it comes to Music is different because they all genuinely sound the same.And they are not different from one another.They all have the same sound.And they are still blowing up and becoming successful and that is the truth when it comes to it.Some people feel like the Music market is way bigger.And that you can’t really compare it.The american music market is huge.And the difference between the uk is very big .But in America if your popular in a few ciites.That can make you really successful and famous and that is very good.
