Detroit riser Chasey The Illest<\/strong> has shared his new EP \u2018Cirrus Clouds\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The rapper is blessed with an incredible imagination, someone who grew up completely infatuated by hip-hop culture. Hailing from Detroit, Chasey The Illest shares some of the city\u2019s staunch originality, blending street level finesse with revelatory word play.<\/p>\n
Utilising a sharp ear for production, Chasey The Illest slots perfectly into each carefully selected beat, using the electronics as bedrock for his lyrical excursions.<\/p>\n
You can hear aspects of J. Cole or JID in his work, with breakout EP \u2018Afraid Of Heights\u2019 establishing a unique, original voice.<\/p>\n
Out now, follow-up \u2018Cirrus Clouds\u2019 steps outside definitions, with Chasey The Illest ripping up the rulebook. Rap music of real pan-genre appeal, the release feels like a real marker for this potent Michigan riser.<\/p>\n
Chasey says of the EP \u2013<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019Cirrus Clouds\u2019 is a short collection of what I would call my journey to making it \u2018big\u2019. Moments of my life, trying to get to the top, wherever that is. Its original purpose was supposed to be a follow-up to my previous EP \u2018Afraid Of Heights\u2019, but now I think \u2018Cirrus Clouds\u2019 just has its own thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
Tune in now.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
