Chet Chet – Slim & Thick
Chet Chet continues to ride wave of success with new single ‘Slim & Thick,’ followed by two new EPs
A wave of new music from fast-rising Midwest artist Chet Chet is set to hit the industry over the next few weeks, starting with his latest hit single “Slim & Thick,” featuring Boosie Badazz. Currently available across all streaming platforms, this Club joint is already making waves across the U.S. and sets the stage perfectly for the bevvy of new singles Chet Chet has planned for the next couple of months.
On Oct. 30, he released his new EP “pSH!T” and plans to follow that up on Nov. 11 with another EP called “29.” These new releases further display an artist at the top of his game. Following the success of his EP “Little Tony Vol. 2” released earlier this year, Chet Chet said he’s riding a wave that he knows will propel him onto a global stage once people immerse themselves in his unique sound and style.
“This first song, ‘Slim & Thick,’ was produced by a guy from Baton Rouge. It has that kind of feel to it – that kind of Three-Six Mafia kind of feel,” Chet Chet said. “With Boosie featured on there, it really adds that little something extra. He’s funny and there’s nobody else like him, and he added exactly what I needed to that track. For the EP ‘pSH!T,’ I wanted to go for an old-school vibe. I watched Super Fly and The Mac and all those movies to get that kind of a feel, and then I wrote six songs that just have a vibe with it. I think people are gonna love the production and will really feel my Southern roots.”
All of these new releases show the world just how much Chet Chet is in a league of his own when it comes to the music industry. Born Chester Gerard Jackson, he grew up as the only child raised by a single mother in Chicago. Chet watched his mother struggle with drug addiction but said that despite her struggles, he always viewed her as his queen. Growing up in one of the more violent neighborhoods of Chicago, Chet Chet saw everything – from violence to drug use – and even spent some time in prison. But every time something seemed hard, he would turn to music. He’s worked hard over the years to develop his own unique sound and style and now with his vision, Chet Chet is primed to blow.
“I wouldn’t compare my style to anybody,” he said. “I make sure that I stand out and sound like myself. My favorite rappers play a big part in how I break a song down. Most rappers in Chicago tend to fall into the categories of Bop, Hip Hop or Drill, but I’m versatile and more focused on melody and wordplay while still being influenced by the streets. I prefer to cater to more of the player side of the city. We gotta remember that Chicago is the home of gangsters and pimps. I got silk in my blood and it comes through my music. I like to tell stories and just speak my life, and through that I feel like I cater to both my Chicago and Southern roots in my sound.”
To date, Chet Chet has released a total of eight projects, including: “Sex Money, Drugs”, “Every Damn Day”, “Catch Me If You Can”, “Lacoste Love”, “Lacostalot“, “Cuffs To Cufflinks”, “Lacostalot 2″ & his latest project “Lil Tony Vol.1” which includes the well received singles “Aspirin” and “She Love me (Feat. Baha Banks).

(Audio) J Lyles – Here I am @iamjlyles
J Lyles makes his return to the world of HipHop, and in a big way, with his new single titled “Here I am”. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from the talented artist but we can officially say those days are over with this new single as Lyles continues to prep a new album that is slated to release this year. Being lyrically relatable has never been a problem for the New Jersey native, and that continues to be true with “Here I am”. Life sometimes takes a toll on us as humans, we all go through ups and downs mentally and physically but those who stay true to themselves while staying afloat through the rough times are the ones that seem to come out the smoke when those bad days disappear. In his own words Lyles describes the song by saying “I discuss various points of my life and the effects of incarceration, family trauma and struggles to get through college and life after college. This song is a testament of wins and losses, pain, and perseverance that led to this version of myself. “Here I Am”.” J Lyles is that exact person that comes out of the smoke battle scarred and tired but wiser and battle tested. He’s always ready to give it his all when those tough times roll back around with rhymes like “Made it to 27 I must be here for a reason/applying pressure smothering all you turkeys that’s under seasoned/they telling me to keep going/my music the voice of reason.” Staying ten toes down with the current version of himself is what the artist is striving for now a days, staying away from those who may not prove to be worthy of being within his circle. “I’m a legend to the game/but I never wanted fame/cause everybody knows your name and unfamiliar with your pain” spits Lyles at the beginning of the second verse, further cementing his true to self rhymes being provided by the man behind the mic. With his debut album titled The Execution still being perfected behind closed doors, J Lyles opens up one door to give new and older listeners a sample of what is to come until the timing is right for The Execution.

(Album) D’Shaun – CRWN @RylDShaun
Backed by only one single, “S’mores & Rumchata”, D’Shaun comes crash landing at #4 onto the iTunes top 40 HipHop album chart and right back into your music libraries with CRWN. The highly anticipated project lived up to expectations on the first day of its release as it also entered yet another chart on iTunes. CRWN peaked at #88 on the top 100 albums in all genres chart, sitting comfortably and confidently above Elton John’s Diamonds. This incredible accomplishment doesn’t happen without D’Shaun and the RYLTY crew’s hard work and dedication to creating an album packed with 12 playable and enjoyable records that each bring a different sound and vibe when stimulating your brain.
D’Shaun continues to put Converse, Texas, on the map as he showcases not only his talent but the talents found within his circle. From Austria to Detroit to Houston, he credits the artists around him for helping provide the “spacey yet quintessential HipHop but with a new school sort of feel” sound that he believes his latest body of work entails. This album not only incorporates HipHop but it also throws some dashes of rap, pop and R&B, adding some more seasoning to the recipe we already knew D’Shaun brought to the table. He’s dabbled in those genres before but with CRWN he brings them altogether in a cohesive manner, letting each live and grow with one another as they flow beautifully the more and more you run the project back. For him, CRWN is set to “change the whole landscape, the city and the state, the lives of each of these young men in RYLTY”. Those changes begin with track number one titled “Nonstop” which is fitting for the vibes that you continuously find yourself emerged in. Between track one and twelve you’ll find up tempo hits meant for the radio in “Chalice”, “Notice”, “S’mores & Rumchata” and “Alright”. You’ll also hear the artist slowing things down a bit with “4U”, “LoveSICK”, “Virgo Season Interlude” and “My Way”. Pure raps are expressed within the previously mentioned “Nonstop” along with “Gentlemen’s Club”, “Sprite Zero” and “Waver”. If there was a sound that D’Shaun didn’t think was fun or didn’t fit the wave he was gearing towards then it simply didn’t make the cut, the artist says that CRWN “is more fun and shows what wearing the crown is like” when comparing the project to its predecessor KNG.
Four years separate both albums and in between those four years we’ve heard how highly D’Shaun has spoken about the trio of albums he had been planning on releasing with all being companions to one another. With two down and one to go the one man band artist has been growing and maturing within his sound and will only continue to do so. He showcases that behind each verse, chorus, ad-lib, snare, kick or high hat he decides to incorporate into this world where creativity never ends. We can call this world “RYL” and here we’ll find the king at his throne wearing a crown meant for only him, exuding royalty the only way he knows how.
