# The Book’s Cover: Chippy Nonstop
# *Every time I hear the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover" I cringe.*
*Though well-meaning, as an idiom it stopped making sense when most
books (and people) ceased to be covered by whatever old piece of brown
sacking happened to be laying outside the village weaver's hut.
Of **course** you can judge something by surface appearance. That's why
we have graphic designers. Rarely do people have time to read a book
before purchasing to determine the contents; in the same way, who has
the chance to read a **person** before having any thoughts on the
subject? True, the contents are the most important things, but what
makes you discover those contents in the first place? Your eyes; your
sense of aesthetics. A good cover speaks volumes, and **The Book's
Cover** gives voice to those who wear theirs well.*
This has been a big year for **[Chippy Nonstop][1]**. The rising young
Oakland rapper got into the game as a writer and designer for Trap House
Collective, helped found the Internet buzzcrew **[Yung
Klout Gang][2]**, and is currently on an East Coast tour
with **Kreayshawn** (who also directed the video for her track "[Kicked
Out Da Club][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}") and **Rye Rye**. In
between, she still finds time to [tweet][4], [twerk][5]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and drop [mini-mixes][6] for the kidz.
Chippy's music is unabashedly fun: this is the sound of underage
clubbing and backyard partyswag, being doused in equal amounts of vodka
and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Once you've seen her wile out onstage, your
URLife will never be the same.
What's Chippy's ideal cover? Let's find out.

***1. Galaxy shirt ***
"Because it's a massive part of my life and keeps me balanced -- and
helps maintain gravity!"
***2. \$$$ Shorts***
"So I can do the Money Dance in them!"
***3. Lisa Frank creepers***
"Because they're fucking Lisa Frank creepers."
***4. Jeremy Scott winged glasses***
"So cute!"
***5. Pikachu nails***
"How is this even! These are so amazing."
***6. Misfits denim jacket***
"Adds that essential bit..."
***7. Sailor Moon necklace***
"...and this completes it!"
