Chaka Boy’s “North Division” out now!

The third single from Chaka Boy’s A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska is out now…

The third single from Chaka Boy’s A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska is a defiant rejection of the labels and boxes the industry tries to put us in, emphasizing an “artist-first” mentality where music is treated like a religion. Pledge allegiance. This is the way. Chaka Boy’s rhymes reflect loyalty, unity, protecting the inner circle, and relentlessly honing the craft of songwriting while The Dirty Sample’s production glides like a familiar theme to a winter-worn western. It’s that still moment, just before the quick-draw shootout. The snow starts to gently fall. Then suddenly, BANG! It’s Team Cold Camp, North Division. 

Written and performed by Chaka Boy
Produced by The Dirty Sample
