The other half of Richmond hip-hop/soul group The Dime, Chioke brings a distinct sound to the group with his poetic lyrics and deep voice. Em Dub met up with him and the rest of the Cali House crew over at Geisha in Oakland and had a chance to ask a few questions about how he got into hip-hop, his process for making a song, the story behind their upcoming album, Brickyard Cove, and how The Dime came together. Listen to more of The Dime’s music at Myspace.com/TheDimeMusic.
Check out Part 2 Wednesday May 5th and peep the trailer for Method, a film starring Chioke, after the jump.
