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.

Chaka Boy’s “The Beast Within” out now!

Out today is Chaka Boy’s new single, “The Beast Within”, from his upcoming album, A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska, dropping on Oct 30 – just just in time for Halloween!

A proverbial howl that sets the tone for the entire album, Chaka Boy’s upcoming A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska, “The Beast Within” is born from the duality of man and the transformation of energy. The second single touches on the internal struggle of balancing opposing forces and allowing animal instinct to completely take over. Good vs evil. Positive vs negative. Thus, “The Beast Within”. Chaka Boy’s lyrics are about navigating the fog, keeping your guard up, and letting the raw truth surface. Project producer The Dirty Sample creates an atmospheric mood that acts as a blueprint for the rest of the project, marking the exact moment when something hidden finally wakes up. Run for your lives!
