Just as General Motors is charting its rebirth from the gloom and desperation of the Great
Recession, so too is Detroit native Chel — a mercurial rapper, whose red hot rhymes
and stone cold beats have transported the MC from his Motor City-birthplace to his new
home in the City of Angels.

The Los Angeles transplant and son of celebrated Motown songwriter Barrett Strong
("Heard It Through The Grapevine," "Papa Was A Rolling Stone"), Chel has music in his
genes and a don't-quit-can't-quit attitude fueling the incessant rhythm of his piston heart.
Just take a listen to any of the 14 breathless and driving tracks on his full-length debut,
Pit Bulls and Black People.

The Chong and Chong Show with Tommy Chong is an insightful and hilarious look at the world of marijuana focusing on both the impact it has had on culture and comedy.
