Chef Red - Floating

Chef Red (born as Laurens Gerssen, 1992) is a rather artist exceptional from Amsterdam. His love for all things soul, funk and jazz inspired him to start creating his own music and sound. His tenacious attitude and years of practice has allowed him to reach a certain stage in his craft, and perhaps the best way to describe a Chef Red sound is the combination of a warm melody or bass, complimented by a tight drum. Not forgetting his constant references to the 70's & 80's, and you get a good idea of where he's coming from.

He's back with the second release on DTW, and this time, Chef choose to explore different bpms, and 'Floating' is a clear representation of that. Borrowing from the deeper trap sounds, a grittier side of him comes alive - a side we hear immense potential in. 
Chef is also working on an Artist Spotlight release for us which will be dropping in the next few weeks or so -  do keep a lookout for that.

lyrics:
(hook)
I just need a baddie that stay down for the ride 
Girl You got me fucked up this a different kinda high (high)
I been, hopin, wishin, imma feel it everytime 
Then when I finally have it 
It's a different kinda vibe 
different kinda vibe (x8)
(verse 1)
Different kinda vibe 
In the night 
You come - alive 
I might spend the night 
Baby I ain't tryna drive 
Said you ain't tryna sleep 
Stay up til the sunrise 
I don't need no advice 
I'm just lost on a ride (yeah)
Buyin what I want 
Spending what I need 
Lookin out the window 
Seein different cities under me
You won't believe 
The places that I been 
places Imma go
Always on the road 
Til wheels stop spinning 
Still whipin
I been hopin, wishin
You would fill that voice in me
Hoping you 
Would open me 
Then overnight 
We Overseas
(hook)
I just need a baddie that stay down for the ride 
Girl You got me fucked up this a different kinda high (high)
I been, hopin, wishin, imma feel it everytime 
Then when I finally have it 
It's a different kinda vibe 
different kinda vibe (x8)
(verse 2)
Balenciaga 
Need a need a new pair 
Yo friend askin if you share 
Different cities 
I'm new here 
I switch it up 
I need a new gear 
Girl I don't care
I'm over here 
Then over there 
Then I'm right back 
Need a night cap 
Said you bite back 
never gone stop imma stay on a roll (roll x 3)
while you taking it slow i stay on the go ( go x 3)
Never gone stop 
Imma Stay on a roll 
you takin it slow 
While I stay on the go 
Right when I bounce 
Girl you put on show 
The night ain't enough 
Girl I need you to know 
(hook)
I just need a baddie that stay down for the ride 
Girl You got me fucked up this a different kinda high (high)
I been, hopin, wishin, imma feel it everytime 
Then when I finally have it 
It's a different kinda vibe 
different kinda vibe (x8)

Different Kinda Vibe (prod. nuntheless) [VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION]

After coming off the release of 'Perestroika,' one of last year’s best collaborative LP’s alongside the legendary O.C., underground rap stalwart Apathy returns with a vengeance with the debut leak, “Alien Weaponry,” which serves as the debut leak off his long awaited sixth solo LP, 'The Widow’s Son.'

The CT native is straight-up coming for the head of anyone who’s ever doubted him on the Nottz produced banger. Throughout the track, we’re treated to one bravado-laden gem after another, including lines like: “You outgunned/ Outshined/ Must be out your mind/ Raps is putrid/ Ap is stupid/ Slap the fluid out your spine.” 

The snarling banger also boasts crazy pop-culture references that seamlessly fit into the overarching theme of “If you thought Ap was going to hang it up soon, you’ve clearly lost your damn mind.” So whether he’s referencing Stranger Things, Opio (of Souls of Mischief), or Freddy Krueger, you damn-well better be taking him seriously. 

After all, Ap is clever enough to include a slick Organized Konfusion reference on this track while having a member of the legendary duo (Pharoahe Monch) appear on his upcoming masterpiece. 'The Widow’s Son' is also set to feature Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Buckwild, M.O.P., Celph Titled, and more.

Head over to your preferred digital outlet to give the track a spin, and mark your calendars for the March 2nd release of 'The Widow’s Son,' which will be available in all formats, and through all digital retailers and streaming platforms, courtesy of Dirty Version.
