Chocolate Droppa walked into the workplace with a laser focus and a transparent mission. He did not ask for a lot throughout soundcheck, only a preview of beats from The Band of Brothas and a shot of espresso. He was about to do one thing that had by no means been executed at Tiny Desk earlier than — freestyle a complete set “off the dome.”
It has been over 9 years since Droppa dropped his debut mixtape, which featured heavy hitters like Migos, Huge Sean, Nick Jonas and extra. “Each time I see individuals,” the rapper shares throughout his set, “the very first thing they are saying is ‘Droppa the place you been? While you gonna give us extra?’ ” Nicely, the reply is now. Those that aren’t hip might acknowledge the emcee as his alter-ego, Kevin Hart, who’s turn into a family title in comedy and performing. However this unscripted set proves that Chocolate Droppa’s rap recreation is equally entertaining. There’s actually no want to check him to another performer you’ve got seen, as a result of as Droppa places it himself, he is “not them.”
