简介
Chopp Devize began writing rhymes around the age of 7 and recording himself on cassette shortly after. From the very beginning of his exsistance Chopp was influenced by his parents, both of them being previousl y involved in choirs and various instrument experimentation. As a young boy he was an only child and spent much time listening to different kinds of music and making home movies with his cousins. A Colorado native, Chopp was also interested in the Martial Arts at a very young age and began training in Tae Kwon Do at the age of ten and trained seriously for a few years before moving on to other styles for the next 20 years. After many years of freestyle with his Denver homies at parties and in storage rooms, he moved to Florida for a new direction in life and to be with his Father in 1998 and united with the most amazing D.J. he had ever been in the presence of, D.J. Immortal. They both shared an in depth passion for music and inevitably created the beginnings of the group Seventh Direction along with Immortal’s long time friends, Colosis, Mordechai ,Pilot Rai and new found songstress, Urban Rose. Also they produced tracks with Xavier Hawk,H.D. Goodman and many more.
