Having made a name for himself as a rapper with his solo debut in 2018, Chuck Strangers is back with the assured and solid solo follow-up A Forsaken Lover's Plea. As the name might suggest, this is Chuck's most personal work to day, turning his eye inward to reckon with his own past as he considers the future. With much of the album self-produced, there are plenty of guests at the controls too, including The Alchemist, NV, and more, and there are guests aplenty on the verses too, including fellow Pro Era collective member Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies' Erick the Architect, and Remy Banks of World's Fair. Chuck Strangers more than knows what he's doing here, this is pure class hip-hop. - Flying Out
A pivotal force in the early '10s NYC rap revival, now LA-based rapper and producer Chuck Strangers steps into the limelight on new solo LP A Forsaken Lover's Plea. The album sounds markedly lush, candid rhymes bolstered by a slew of guest producers-including The Alchemist, Animoss and Strangers himself. Chuck's own production feels current without ditching it's previous homeliness, a seamless compliment to his honest, lived-in raps. A collection of fellow New York rap torchbearers lace the album with guest verses, including Pro Era comrade Joey Bada$$ & Flatbush Zombies' Erick the Architect. Strangers' tangled romance with hip-hop is the crux of the project-the culmination of a decade's unwavering dedication to his craft, with it's lofty highs, inevitable lows, and lessons of humility and patience.
