Dance music’s Dirty Dutch ringleader is known to dig beyond his signature bleeps and explore the realms of hip-hop when delivering live sets. But this week, Chuckie has taken another leap into hip-hop incorporation, teaming up with some of the genre’s stars for his latest single. Calling upon Lupe Fiasco and Too $hort, Chuckie’s latest release embodies his personal preferences and production style, as “Makin’ Papers” leans towards the hip-hop spectrum while leaving traces of his customary antics. Refreshing on all aural facets, Chuckie shines the brightest with Lupe and Too $hort by his side and “Makin’ Papers” delivers more than a pleasurable listen, but insight into the mind of Clyde Sergio Narain. Out July 23rd on Big Beat Records.
