Biography:
The energetic and physically chiseled rapper Choppa was born and raised in New Orleans. As a teenager he worked on his lyrical skills as a hobby but all the while he felt his destiny was in professional sports. Disagreements with his high-school football coach steered him away from sports and Choppa started taking his rap skills seriously. An appearance on New Orleans` popular radio show Nine O`Clock Props made Choppa an instant hit with listeners and he soon became a regular guest. In 2001 the independent label Take Fo` released his debut, Choppa Style, an album filled with a more party-styled version of Southern rap called bounce music. The title cut became an inescapable regional hit and soon BET`s late-night show Uncut began airing the video. Master P caught wind of the single and headed to New Orleans. His visit to the city ended with Choppa signed to P`s No Limit Records and a promise from P that he was going to take bounce music to the world. A re-recorded version of "Choppa Style," with Master P adding some verse, became an instant hit and No Limit issued Choppa`s Straight from the N.O. album in 2003.
