Chip tha Ripper at Classic Victorys

Born Charles Jawanzaa Worth, Chip tha Ripper is a Cleveland rapper who came up through the city's mixtape circuit and became a frequent collaborator with Kid Cudi. He appeared on Cudi tracks including “Hyyerr” and “Just What I Am,” and his early work earned him a dedicated following in Cleveland. He spent years performing as King Chip before returning to the Chip tha Ripper name in recent releases.

That deep catalogue is the backbone of this Classic Victorys show, an intimate 21+ night framed around raw bars and classic vibes. The venue sits on South High Street in Columbus, and the set draws on the slow, Southern-influenced, bass-heavy style that has defined much of his music. Fans of Midwest hip-hop and mixtape-era rap will find a familiar, laid-back energy.
