Queens, NY, native
Chip Love is the man behind the alternative rock outfit
Hesher. Molding threads of old-school hip-hop, funkadelic soul, and punk-rawk,
Hesher is a force not to be reckoned with when it comes to checking rhymes. His sour-rap growl is friendly to the likes of
Run DMC and
Everlast, but with a childlike humor. The power and passion behind performing allowed
Hesher to realize early on that music was his calling, detesting his day job of stuffing tubes with toothpaste. He landed a spot as spliff coordinator for
Bad Brains, soon representing in rap fusion bands such as
Shining Path and Roguish Armament. He opened Woodstock '94, and his musical mayhem rounded out 500 shows throughout the Midwest over a two-year period. Such die-hard commitment led
Hesher to release his self-titled debut on Warner Brothers in fall 2000. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
