Attempting to put Cleveland in as a serious contender for a rap city, Chip tha Ripper has issued his first mixtape to the masses (with a whopping 26 tracks). But why should people care? Well, Chip has a good buddy (who also reps Cleveland) in Kid Cudi. Cudi even appears on a couple tracks here. You might say that Chip is riding Cudi's coattails but he is a pretty good rapper. If nothing else, Chip believes it (as well as having Cudi's approval). While his flow is still pretty rough and lyric material limited, with Cudi (and his newfound "muscle" in the industry) perhaps Chip will get it all together down the road. Also, Cudi has stated many times that he fully plans on collaborating with Chip on an official full-length LP in the near future.
