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 whole set “off the dome.”
It has been over 9 years since Droppa dropped his debut mixtape, which featured heavy hitters like Migos, Large Sean, Nick Jonas and extra. “Each time I see folks,” the rapper shares throughout his set, “the very first thing they are saying is ‘Droppa the place you been? Whenever you gonna give us extra?’ ” Effectively, the reply is now. Those that aren’t hip might acknowledge the emcee as his alter-ego, Kevin Hart, who’s develop into a family identify in comedy and appearing. 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 have seen, as a result of as Droppa places it himself, he is “not them.”
