When most think about the average rap artist, what usually comes to mind is extreme opulence, a plethora of groupies, and widespread fame. For independent artist Christian "Poke Chop" Nichols none of those were the main focus for his pursuit of music. Growing up in the gritty streets of Atlanta, Ga, there wasn't many other legit and legal options for the talented MC. Music was not a choice, it was a means to support his children.   Amongst meeting Nichols you may get the impression of the typical dread head down south guy that might be up to no good. That perception could not be more incorrect. Chop is very well versed in the music industry. He is experienced in musical composition which the quality of his product broadcasts. The lyrical propensity Chop delivers is definitely an awe factor when listening to anything he creates. The ability to tell a story with rhythmic timing at any moment is an art form, one this lyricist has easily perfected.
