His debut single, "It's Chico Time", is enjoying its second week in the top spot.

"I've been trying for fifteen years, been knocking on doors, and nothing's ever happened. Then suddenly this!" said Chico, whose real name is Yousseph Slimani.

Check out this guy's name. Guess he's the real Slim Shady.
