CTO Chop

CTO Chop is a rising force in the alternative rap scene, representing Northeastern PA with a style that’s both boundary-pushing and deeply personal. Since launching his musical journey in 2019, Chop founded CTO (Complete Takeover) with co-sign CTO Band$, creating a movement built on authenticity, creative freedom, and raw talent. What sets Chop apart isn’t just his sharp lyrical ability or genre-blending sound—it’s his musical versatility. A skilled pianist and flutist, he brings depth to his production and songwriting that few can match. His earliest tracks were self-produced in his high school band room using GarageBand and a phone—humble beginnings that shaped his signature DIY ethic and creative drive. Now, with over 2 million streams across platforms, Chop has proven he’s here to stay. He’s collaborated with standout artists and producers like Danny Towers, Smokepurpp, Zotiyac, EGOVERT, Killbunk, NARCOWAVE, KIDx, kil, and mathiastyner—building a discography that balances energy, experimentation, and evolution. Chop’s music is inspired by anime, movies, real-life moments, and cultural trends. Each track reflects his playful yet introspective nature—an invitation to vibe, think, and explore. For Chop, music isn’t just sound—it’s storytelling, escape, and expression.
