Ask the majority of inner city high school girls, in Chicago, who the Pope is, and you’ll probably be surprise at some of the answers you’ll get. Tha Pope, has become what some would call a local celebrity in the Chi. First being known as one of the best “Juke” dancers, a style birthed in Chicago, Tha Pope expanded on his popularity by hosting shows, performing and recording records. I can bear witness to his unyielding grind and focus. Spend 10 minutes with him, and you can tell that he loves what he does and has a raw passion for music. I sat down with him to pick his brain on a number of topics. He had a lot of insightful thoughts about his journey to share.
