King Chop

The prolific Chicago trap producer takes his own turn at the mic. A slow, sinister affair with guest spots from Vic Mensa, Riff Raff, and longtime affiliate Chief Keef, *King of Chop* drops the hammer early and rarely lets up. Like his beats, Chop’s rapping is low-key but ominously sure-footed, from the twinkly, textbook trap of “Ring Ring Ring” and “Between the Lines” to the unconventional “Old Hunnits New New Hunnits,” which puts a fresh spin on the style Chop himself helped popularize.
