'Lockdown Tape' is an underground, alternative lofi hip hop EP inspired by the experiences of going through the 2020-21 lockdowns and consists of 5 tracks. Like a lot of people who picked old hobbies back up again during this time, Chentda got back into making music and set out to create a piece of work that would act as a memento of the time. With most of the music being done in the end of 2021, it was then polished up and completed in 2022.

This is most definitely a contemplative type of hip hop project, best enjoyed during the late hours with a nice cup of tea/coffee or glass of wine. Enjoy!
