Choyce read vox pop's interview with Choyce here >>	Tah Phrum Duh Bush
Charles "Choyce" Dalton was born January 1 1986 in Springfield Gardens, New York to a father who did some DJ work in his younger days and to mother who also indulged in the Hip Hop culture in the mid 80's. ...After a couple years of evaluating his life and practicing his craft, he finally found the niche he was looking after accepting hip-hop as his life and not just a hobby. These events that caused this transition make up the man that everyone now knows as "CHOYCE". http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/epk.asp?epk_id=101683	"Tah Phrum Duh Bush is an oddball amongst artists. Dude is so askew from the norm he is often labeled a weirdo-nonconformist-freak... Hey man this cat just aint right! Yet somehow, strangely, its actually quite cool! Tah has been seen on stage doing wide ranges of craziness. Tah can be found in the bowels of New York City on a stage dropping science and knowledge in one instant and in the next he's on the floor grinding against an imaginary lover with the fury of a sex starved bison while prompting the crowd to Lay that Pipe! Consequently, Tah Phrum Duh Bush has chosen to represent himself as the antithesis of all; the positive to every negative and the negative to every positive; an oxymoron live in the flesh!"	also on the bill: GUMZ, Maom, Homeboy Sandman Billy D & crew from one shadow one beat
Cosponsored by Gaffel Kolsch German festival beer! Imported by local Ed Raven and Ravenbrands, Inc. $10 Pitchers all night!
The Vox Pop Choyce Interview: Choyce, in your song "Core" you talk about being "hip hop to the core" in a world that cares more about nice cars and "suicide doors." Tell me what hip hop means to you. It’s culture, it’s a lifestyle displayed through various forms of expression, it’s an art form that has been the voice for disenfranchised people not only from the Bronx or New York City but now the world, and it’s the soundtrack to a generation that wasn’t supposed to survive. Who are your heroes in hip hop? My heroes are KRS-1, Nas, Jay-z, Mos Def, Andre 3000, just to name a few. These are the main artists who were influences on my hip hop career. What were the experiences in your life that changed you and made you want to be a part of hip hop? I wasn’t happy doing anything else. I felt like I was missing something. I didn’t figure out what I wanted be in life until I pursued hip hop as a career. What are your goals with your music? When's the CD coming out? (Or is it out?) Who have you played shows with thus far? Honestly, my goal is make good music that the people can enjoy and to make a contribution to hip hop culture. The culture has set a standard in the past that any artist should want to meet or exceed, the rest is defined by the music. We all as human beings have statements to make, and I want to make mine without compromising the art form. The album is called “Odes II Culture” and it’s available now @ Myspace.com/choyce2. You can get the info on shows, etc. there also. So far I did performances at the Entertainers bar in the Bronx, NY and at Fat Baby Bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We just kicked off the WHATS YOUR CHOYCE?? Promo tour. What can the fans expect on Friday May 25 at Vox Pop? The fans can expect music that is honest but nothing short of great, especially if they are true hip hop fans.
