On Saturday, April 30th, Chopper makes his very first promotional stop in St. Louis to promote the product and his forthcoming single and album (Bad Boy South). He will perform at The Vault.

Also featured on the bags are motivational messages like “seize every opportunity,” and “be who you are without shame.” The new line of Rap Snacks Pork Skins and Cracklins is available in stores now.
Chopper gained popularity on P. Diddy’s hugely successful MTV reality show “Making the Band.” He went on to become the only artist to land a deal with the Bad Boy South record label.
