Chop is back with “Diego Rivera” produced by Kon! — a nod to his roots as a Mexican-American artist, musician, rapper and beatmaker.

Hailing from California with ancestral roots in Mexico, BigDaddyChop is a young legend in multiple forms of Hip Hop expression. Known well for his work as a beatmaker, producer and musician (refer to his classic instrumental Hip Hop album “CHOPZILLA” on bandcamp for some of his work) Chop is also an accomplished rapper & MC with an inimitable style and unique vocal tone which he uses to full advantage on his latest single entitled “DIEGO RIVERA”.

A nod to another avant-garde artist of Mexican heritage — in marketing and promoting Diego Rivera the song, BigDaddyChop has showcased some of Rivera’s most important paintings & artwork highlighting the Indigenous peoples of Mexico and sharing this quote with his fans who may not be as familiar with Rivera’s works and cultural relevance.
