A pivotal force in the early ’10s NYC rap revival, now LA-based rapper and producer Chuck Strangers steps into the limelight on new solo LP ‘A Forsaken Lover’s Plea’—out March 15th, 2024 on Lex Records.
A collection of fellow NY natives lace the album with guest verses, from Pro Era comrade Joey Bada$$ and Flatbush Zombies’ Erick the Architect to Queens’ own Remy Banks. Production credits include Californian beat veteran The Alchemist and the masterful Strangers himself.
Following May’s ‘The Boys & Girls’ EP, ‘A Forsaken Lovers Plea’ captures a wider spectrum of Strangers’ journey as an artist, alluding to his relationship with hip-hop through imagery of a tragic love affair.
Chuck bares his soul on the eponymous first single, with a hypnotic Graymatter beat providing the canvas for his reflective bars.
Timeless artwork by Commission Studio & Jack McKain is brought to life in a nostalgic 16mm music video by Jackie Radinsky.
Pre-order the album now on heavyweight green vinyl, silver tape and CD.
