There was a huge crowd of his fans there and here I am, an acoustic guitar playin', folky, singer/songwriter asking myself "Why am I opening for a HIP HOP ACT??". I took the stage anyway and after I sang the very first chorus everyone was laughing and cheering and clapping. That was the moment I knew there was something to this", Chief says.
