The E.Jones Show (Chip Fu) Podcast

An accomplished master in the marriage of rhythm and flow, Chip-Fu is one of the few underground composers and performers dedicated to spreading the indubitable significance of Hip-Hop and Reggae music. "Those who listen to what's mainstream and call it Hip-Hop are sadly misled", the Brooklyn native once stated in an interview; "My objective is and always has been to abstain from cookie cutter material. The public needs something fresh, Organic & Real". A universal storyteller and lyrical engineer, Chip's high mark does not revolve around creating a simple song. His primary ambition is to deliver an art piece that is then transformed into an audible experience for anyone who listens. As a result of this implemented philosophy, Chip-Fu has accomplished the meticulous feat of delivering flavorful, wisdom-laced messages without sacrificing a drop of authenticity. Born Roderick Roachford by way of Trinidad, Barbados, Chip-Fu came to the realization that music was his destiny during the late 70's and early 80's absorbing Hip Hop and Reggae while stomping through the streets of Brooklyn. He took pride in the fact that his big brother kept him around to teach the ropes of the neighborhood at a very young age, and he was also determined to use the opportunity to his advantage. Furthermore, Chip couldn't have been in a better place at a better time in music history. Everybody kept talking about this new movement called Hip Hop and Chip happened to be right smack in the middle of its emergence; observing and absorbing it all. Little did he know back then, his own future would come to include being recognized as one of Hip-Hop's most active and creative participants.
