Chicago has been a booming local scene, spitting out multiple upcoming stars for the last couple of years (King Louie Chance The Rapper, Lil Durk, Vic Mensa). Many artists have been delivering some great songs for the listeners to enjoy, but they've haven't done it alone. Beside the managers, graphic design artist, and who ever else is on their team, Chicago has some pretty great producers behind its current burst of great sounds.
Even then the producers don't always go it alone, as we've heard many different production/artist collective emerge. From THEMpoeple, to Nez & Rio, and up comers CHI-VII, many producer have combined talents to create the best possible music. A new duo, Jah Ras, consisting of Billy IRiE and Nhyla Molineux, are the latest to join forces and make it on CCHH, with something for our ears.
For their introductory project Jah Ras presents a 13 track free project for the ears to feast upon, called "Free Food". Over the course of this instrumental project you'll get to hear great hip hop beats like "Have", some smoother sounds with a mellow vibe like "Mellow Out". Stream the project below.
