Born in New Jersey and raised in Virginia, Malcolm Smalls AKA Chop has been able to perfect the ability to infuse his east-coast influence along with his southern upbringing. At the tender age of 8, Malcolm wrote his first rap and by the time he was 14 he was recording and producing all of his own music.

As a producer, he has been recruited to do in-house production for various different recording studios including Chauncey Black’s studio in Hampton. As a rapper he has won various awards, more recently a 2013 rap competition hosted by RapGenius.com.
