2010–11: Transition and "Champion" featuring Chris Brown

Chipmunk announced he was working on a new studio album in late-2010, and confirmed it would be titled, Transition which he stated it would be different from the first album, stating: "It kinda represents the growth in me as a person since my last album, so the sound has matured as well as I have and that’s the main thing for me with the record - I just wanted the sound, the sound and the feel of the album to feel… I feel like a granddad but you know, just more mature than my first album, you know life’s changed." The album features American artists Keri Hilson, Chris Brown, Trey Songz[26] and Kalenna Harper from Diddy-Dirty Money,[27] and British rapper Wretch 32.[28] He released a promotional single onto iTunes on 12 November 2010.

On 7 October 2011, RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding Jive Records, along with Arista Records and J Records. With the shutdown, Chip, and all other artists previously signed to these three labels, had the option to release their future material on the RCA Records brand. Chip chose not to do so, and certain media outlets speculated that he may be dropped from the label.[38] However, Chip instead decided to sign with Grand Hustle, the label of fellow rapper and collaborator, T.I..[39] In December 2011, Chipmunk announced that he would be shortening his stage name to "Chip", under the advice and instruction of T.I., and that all of his future releases would appear under his new stage name.

In January 2012, Chip announced via his official Twitter account that he had been working with Sean Garrett and T.I. on his next project, but did not reveal the name of the project in question. He also posted a picture of himself recording in a studio in Atlanta with T.I. Shortly after the announcement, Chip revealed that throughout the year, he would be posting a series of online video blogs to keep his fans updated on what he was up to.

2014–present: Believe & Achieve, Grime Beef & League of My Own II

On 31 October 2014, Chip dropped his "Fright Night" freestyle on YouTube, and announced to fans that his new project Believe & Achieve would be coming in 2015.[44] In November 2014, Chip collaborated with hotly tipped Stormzy and Shalo on "I’m Fine" which he filmed on his twenty-fourth birthday and released shortly afterwards.[45] A remix of "I’m Fine" featuring Frisco, Krept and Konan appeared online on 16 January 2015 via i-D Magazine.[46] On 1 January 2015, Chip dropped the track ‘School of Grime’ via his SoundCloud page,[47] and followed by a music video a couple weeks later.

[6][49]

On Saturday 24 January, Chip appeared for the second time on Charlie Sloth's trademark show Fire In The Booth on 1Xtra, which had a huge listenership and was trending on Twitter.[50] In Chip's freestyle, he opened up some questions about the UK rap scene and caused controversy by calling out Tinie Tempah for his current lack of commitment to music.[51] The YouTube video from Fire In The Booth instantly went viral with 100k views in just a few days, and was followed by a 1Xtra debate which also trended on Twitter.[52] Chip also took part in ITV's new entertainment show Get Your Act Together on 25 January, having been invited by the Shaolin Monks to learn Kung Fu martial arts.[53] The performance culminated in him balancing on two spear points to widespread audience acclaim.[54] He competed against three other celebrity teams and won the round. Chip performed with the Shaolin Monks in the final of the show on 22 February 2015[55]

Using The Streets ‘Has It Come To This’ as the beat, a freestyle was filmed in one take by a camera phone was shot and then uploaded to YouTube. The track was then recorded properly in the studio and premiered via Pigeons and Planes on 21 February[56] A week later, a visual for the remix was made by legendary Risky Roadz and hosted on SBTV channel.[57]

The project, which features a guest appearance from Stormzy, consists of remixes of hit songs from 2015 such as "My Way" and "Classic Man" (the "rap" songs) and diss tracks aimed at Tinie Tempah and Bugzy Malone (the "grime" songs).

Personal life

Motorcycle accident

In 2014, whilst holidaying in Malia, Greece, Chip was involved in a quad bike accident which led to him needing twelve stitches in his head.[62] Chip now drives a car, as he was barred by his mother from riding quad bikes again following the accident.[63]

Feud with Lowkey

Chipmunk released a freestyle over the woo riddim, where he mentioned a line about rapper Dot Rotten. In June 2010, Lowkey posted to Twitter that "If Dot Rotten doesn't duppy Chipmunk with a riddim, I might have to, Baghdad style."[64] Chip's response highlighted that he was not aware of who Lowkey was whilst also tweeting that "(he) shouldn't be allowed to tweet (him)." This consequently led to a series of tweets between the pair which eventually led Lowkey to release a diss track towards Chip titled The Warning, it was freestyled over Puff Daddy's Victory.[65] When asked about Lowkey's diss track Chipmunk stated that he did not remember the Twitter feud had taken place.[66] In an interview with Community Voice FM in 2011, Lowkey addressed the issue, saying that he should not have taken it as far as he did, however, the reason he released the diss track was that he took offence to Chip's response.[67]

Feud with Tinie Tempah

In 2015, Chip appeared on Charlie Sloth's radio show where he called out fellow London based rapper Tinie Tempah over the latter's interests and perceived exploitation of their relationship for personal benefit.[68][69] On 9 October 2015 he released "96 Bars of Revenge" in which he dissed both Tempah and Bugzy Malone.[citation needed] He then followed this up with "Coward", which was aimed directly at Tempah.[citation needed]

Feud with Bugzy Malone

Bugzy Malone released his "Fire in the Booth", a freestyle session hosted by BBC 1Xtra presenter Charlie Sloth, on 14 March 2015, mentioning Chip.[70] Chip replied to Malone's critics including him on his war dub "Pepper Riddim". This started the feud and drew attention to the grime scene early on in 2015. Malone released a war dub for Chip entitled "Relegation Riddim", travelling to Chip's hometown of Tottenham to film the video for the song.

Five months later, Chip released a number of tracks in his defence starting with "Light Work" on 11 September 2015. He then went on to release "Run Out Riddim" and "Hat Trick" in the same week. Around a month later on 9 October 2015 he released "96 Bars of Revenge" in which he dissed both Malone and Tinie Tempah. The rivalry continued as Malone then replied back with "Wasteman", Chip replied within 7 hours with "Dickhead", Malone then released the pre-recorded track "Zombie Riddim" via his Twitter account straight after "Dickhead" was uploaded. Malone stated that he would clash with Chip on Lord of the Mics, a battle rap show hosted by Boy Better Know member Jammer, for the right amount of money, and Chip has also stated that he would be willing as long as he would be clashing against both Malone and Tempah.[71]

Feud with Yungen

This feud started when Chip mentioned Yungen in "96 Bars of Revenge". Yungen replied the following year on his track "Comfy", which sparked the feud further. On 19 February 2016, Chip released "One Take" (freestyle) on his YouTube channel, dissing Yungen.[72] Yungen released a pre-recorded track one hour later titled "Punk (Shitmunk Diss)" which was a warning to Chip to take his freestyle down.[73] Chip replied in 24 hours with "Michelle Riddim", a diss track towards Yungen and Tinie Tempah.[74] Yungen responded quickly with "Oopsy Daisy Riddim",[75] and Chip has since responded once again with "L (Lil' Clive Diss 2)".[76] Recently[when?] the 'Oopsy Daisy Riddim (Shitmunk Diss) was taken down from YouTube after it contained a sample of Chipmunk's single "Oopsy Daisy", it was then re-loaded, this time with the copyrighted audio removed .After Yungen was filmed running from a man who gripped the rapper's arms, dropping his Nando's meal in the process, he released the track "Away Games." In response to a couple of slights from the track, Chip released his track "Peri Peri Sauce," aimed at the South London rapper.[77]
