Bio for Anthony “Chops” Atkinson

Born in Boston, Massachusetts and embodying consistent determination, Anthony Atkinson was destined to be an example. As a man of great patience and an undeniable work ethic, this artist has experienced many roadblocks in life; however, his name and his sound are becoming more and more unforgettable.

Known as "Chops," the early pursuit of this engaging emcee is proof that he was always destined for greatness. Whether he was making songs in his mother's basement or performing on stages in front of thousands, he has always been a man with great intention. Many people know him as the hustler of his hood and he will never deny his upbringing in the streets of Boston; but there is so much more than what meets the eye.

In the Spring of 2003, after linking up with a group of friends from his neighborhood and starting a record label, Chops landed himself in Miami as one of the openers for David Banner, Lil' John, Noreaga, Pusha T, and many other established entertainers in the rap industry. This was the start of something big, as many highs and a few lows allowed him to grow and mature his craft. Every unforgettable experience and every stage that he encountered allowed him to level up and make his presence known.
