When you think about it realistically, the Red pill, Blue pill conversation is really Prilosec versus xanax. Either you don’t get heartburn from life or you can’t remember anything and decide to steal lawn furniture from unsuspecting homeowners. Whichever way, you look at it there is suffering of some sort. But still the choices we have made stem from our truths and personal experiences, so I can’t blame you for taking the Xan.
I’m glad bitchboy Tate is gone, but his presence still lives on in the form of Nelk chodes, Chode Rogan, and a bunch of other alpha creeps. These conversations about what a real man is or should be horrendously exhausting and I never understood why they began in the first place. Being a real man is protecting your friends and family and providing for them in the meantime. Being a support system instead of controlling lives just because you got some gnads in the trousers. I think all men have hurt others and treated women like shit at times, and myself is included in that conversation. But I just try to get better as a person and treat people how they want to be treated. Shout out to Prilosec.
Joei Razook Featuring Brevin Kim – Every Ounce
Razook and the Kim duo are a powerful team only waiting for more notoriety to be shined on them. Not only does Joei have an unconventional style to his music, but he’s also able to pen some truly great songs. “Every Ounce” was directed by Annie Noelker and edited by Nick The Kid making this the best music video you haven’t seen yet.
Mykel Online – Ecstasy
Mykel is a rock star because of his modernized approach to instrumentation and lyrics alike. “Ecstasy” is just another notch in the belt, but it builds some stellar momentum coming off the latest Memorex release with Maki. Mykel cannot be boxed in by any label, he just makes what he feels and it always comes out great. “Ecstasy” is just that, lush feelings and real creativity.
Kid Zen – ZAZA
Kid Zen makes some noise with his cut aptly titled “ZAZA”. This boy is from Perth, but his sound has made it across numerous bodies of water onto our pages. The mood is care-free, but the confidence is never dwindling. Zen‘s vocals meshed with the lush instrumentation create for a spaced-out environment unlike any other. With production from PrettyBoyNoah, this duo really made us take some time to appreciate a modernized wave. Do yourself a favor and peep all the gas below.
Murky. – Pretty Pills
Murky. makes his Chiefers debut with a magnificent cut called “Pretty Pills” and this one will be stuck in your head all day. A definite laid-back feel to this one, but you cannot deny how catchy the melodies are. Murky‘s gentle voice is so different but shouldn’t be taken lightly from a technical standpoint. To be able to control your vocals in that manner is always impressive, but to also keep our attention with such a pristine style is astounding. Murky. is another rising name to know, and get familiar with.
Cee – “ImUp”
Vancouver’s Cee makes her first appearance on our pages with her new cut called “ImUp!”. This gentle soundscape of sound allows Cee to showcase her precise and vivid vocal prowess. Great artists know how to utilize their voice atop the instrumentation that makes the most sense, and this cut is a great example of that. Cee melds with the intoxicating percussion allowing her vocals to only be accented in a stellar manner. Cee deserves your time, peep it above.
Tim Buds – Bats
Good music is good music and you shouldn’t ever forget that. Tim Buds‘ song “Bats” reminds me of some retro-infused classic rock with a new modern twang on it. You can hear the pain and passion inside Buds’ vocals accompanied by the steady tempo of guitar and percussion. Buds’ voice impresses and entices the ear simply because He stays within his register, as opposed to forcing his tone. Overall this one is worth taking the time to peep, so get hip to the gas above.
YB – Wings Of An Angel
Arkansas doesn’t have a ton of names in the conversation of music, but their very own YB wants to change that. Unleashing the Deluxe variation of Wings Of An Angel, we are gifted 13 songs that all shine bright. “Age 8 Freestyle” is an honest look into what his childhood felt like, then flowing right into an electric cut titled “age 15 freestyle” in which you can hear real aggression develop within YB.
The voice memos on here make for a very personal experience to share with YB‘s listeners. His family is proud of the progress he’s making and the music is backed up with precise skill. This project is a culmination of experience and real introspection looking within the mind of YB. “Lebron Flow” is yet another stellar glimpse into this man’s skill set. If you aren’t familiar it’s about time to change that.
Austin Kenyon – Carousel
Austin is one of those rising names in the game that has a great deal of potential. His newest effort called “Carousel” doesn’t have much of a ceiling, in fact, we could see this be the beginning of a solid run for this kid. The percussive manner melds incredibly well with Austin’s vocals and the energy the song gives off is infectious. There is a vast variety of pop-leaning artists who try to make a name for themself in this game. The only issue is they all sound the same. This isn’t a problem for Austin, instead, he stands out from the pack with his talents.
Zorila – Addison
This is Zorila‘s first time on our pages and it’s for their four-song EP Addison. Yes, a traditionally more rock-leaning approach than Chiefers is known for but the music is solid and really makes you feel the passion put in. “Sticks And Stones” stand out as a personal favorite of ours, but each cut stands alone with vivacious energy and passion. A unique effort that deserves some more shine, peep it above.
Dany H – Downward Into The Dark
First let’s start by saying this was an incredibly moving piece of art and it’s horrendously sad that it sparked from that tragedy. Dany Horovitz shines a light on the constant abuse that so many children endured in Canada and delivers his moving effort called “Downward Into The Dark”. Songs like these are needed to paint the reality for the people who don’t have a voice. The elements are incredibly ominous, but Dany really did this the right way. Definitely a sound we don’t usually push on Chiefers, but this moved us, peep it all above.
