Out Now! Chaka Boy’s “What’s the Difference?”

The first single form Chaka Boy’s upcoming album, A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska, is out now…

The first single from Chaka Boy’s A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska is a journey through the frozen wilderness, where the ordinary gets left behind and the strange takes over. Unexplained lights? Non-human entities? The psyche navigates isolated snowscapes with heavy bars and introverted grit. Animal instinct. Survival. All while encapsulating the frustration of being an outsider in a mundane world. The Dirty Sample’s production echoes like a deep dive into sonic isolation on a newly-discovered frequency.

Written and performed by Chaka Boy
Produced by The Dirty Sample

Birdapres, Nolto, Thesis Sahib & Touch – “Change”

The third and final single from Bassments of Badmen 4 is “Change” by Birdapres, Nolto, Thesis Sahib & Touch. The song is catchy and uplifting.

The third and final single from Bassments of Badmen 4 is a posse cut that is a declaration of individuality and acceptance of who you are. Pasquale delivers a chill instrumental that layers xylophone sounds and guitar riffs over stuttering boom bap drums for a clean, minimal backdrop on which Birdapres, Nolto, Thesis Sahib, and Touch demonstrate their individuality in both lyrics and delivery. But the highlight of “Change” is the mid-song chorus that combines the sing-song harmonies of Nolto and Thesis for a catchy hook that breaks the message down to the simple advice of “You will convince me I’m not perfect, I refuse to change”. The perfect song for when you need that little pick me up.
