A pivotal part of Sensei Chop’s artistry relies on his unique ability to combine his passion for rap with film. Where others have to focus on one outlet to express themselves, Chop is lucky enough to blend both elements with little to no effort. As a rapper, he shines through with his wordplay and delivery and as a shooter, he’s able to bring full visions to life. Now, with both in his arsenal, Sensei Chop is looking to take the music industry by storm. Growing up in Atlanta, Ga, Chop, whose real name is Chris Nichols, was exposed to the richness of the city and quickly gained the confidence to start rapping under the name Poke Chop at just 12 years old. With the same stage name, he recorded a few songs with seasoned rapper Kevin Gates but holds his own under his newest moniker. Listeners to his music would describe his style as conversational with each track sounding as if he’s talking directly to his audience. This is evident on his most recent single “Expensive Glass” where the title acts as a reference to the lenses found in film. He steadily juggles multiple titles as a solo artist, artist manager, and entrepreneur.
