Chucky Royale Drops Off “Chawp Chawp”
Jamaica-born artist Chucky Royale is giving us a gift on his birthday with the release of his latest single “Chawp Chawp.”
This melodic track comes during a time of year where visits and parties with friends and family are at their height and when listeners press play, they will be instantly transported into what it’s like to celebrate Chucky Royale-style which is the song’s intent.
“The inspiration to this project is my Jamaican party culture. A fun night out with me and my people,” Chucky said. “Growing up in Jamaica, partying and celebration is a way of life, It’s our culture. So this song is showing how we party and get down.”
Royale said that the term “Chawp Chawp” translates into “hurry.”
“I’m telling my people to hurry up so the party doesn’t miss us,” he says in a recent interview. “And then we proceed to have a phenomenal night.”
While “Chawp Chawp” has that island-like vibe and feel, it’s also fused with hip-hop to create sounds inspired by Chucky’s experience living in both Jamaica and the United States.
“I would describe it as New Age Dancehall music geared to incorporating Rap/Hip Hop culture,” he said when asked about his unique sound. “Half of my music will make you want to get up and dance, the next half will have you thinking and holding some meditations on life.”
When asked what he hoped listeners take away when listening to his newest work, Royale said “Work hard so we can all really enjoy life together because we only get one life to live.” With the holiday season in full swing, this is certainly something to keep in mind as we connect and spend time with loved ones.
Stream “Chawp Chawp” here and be sure to tap in with Chucky Royale in the near future because this is an artist you’ll definitely want to keep on your radar.

Jadakiss & Juelz Santana On That “Party N Bullsh*t”
In preparation for his forthcoming album Better Late Than Never, New York’s own Juelz Santana enlists Jadakiss for the R2DaEz & Duke Dollas-produced anthem “Party N Bullshit.” Accompanied by a new music video directed by Andre “DreVinci” Jones as well, the latest drop from the Harlem MC serves as first official single on his new body of work and finds him trading bars with his Verzuz adversary while paying homage to Notorious B.I.G.’s 1993 classic cut “Party and Bullshit.”
When asked about what it was like creating the song with the LOX frontman in a press statement, Santana reveals:
“Collaborating with Jadakiss was natural. We both bring different vibes to the table, and this record reflects that synergy. The vibe in the studio was crazy that day. We were both vibing off each other’s energy, bouncing ideas back and forth. Kiss brought that classic, raw lyricism, and I added my own flavor with the flow. It was all about capturing that essence of having a good time while still keeping it authentic.”
As one of the founding members of the legendary Hip-Hop group Diplomats, Juelz Santana has been in the spotlight since 2002. He was featured on major hit records by Cam’ron such as “Oh Boy” and “Hey Ma” and he was on Chris Brown’s hit “Run It.” His meteor was rising so fast that he was signed to Def Jam and had a much rumored joint project with Lil Wayne in the works. Label politics and jail time derailed him for a time making him one of the industry’s greatest what ifs. Now, back with new material and a mindset to match it clear he dosen;t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

Mai Lee Takes The Spotlight With “Von” Live Performance
Vietnamese R&B/Pop vocalist Mai Lee enlists guitarist Connor Low as well as background singers Shanelle Scott, Dabriel Moore, and Brittny Holloway for a live performance of “Von (Love Me Like The First Time)” taken off her ‘FRIENDZ’ LP. Filmed at STL’s iconic Mai Lee Restaurant in Brentwood, during her Lunar New Year (Unplugged) concert, the intimate in-person experience compliments the Bradd Young & Vega Heartbreak produced track perfectly.
A medley of the people and places she represents, Mai Lee transcends the boundaries of music and fashion. Growing up in Missouri, the seasoned singer has always had music on her mind and in her heart. Attending performing arts schools during her youth, she uses those experiences to create a unique genre blending sound. Known for her intoxicating and soulful vocals, Mai Lee has shared the stage with artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, 2 Chainz, Fetty Wap, Estelle, and Busta Rhymes, performing in front of an audience of 20K+ people.
While you may hear some familiar influences in her sound, Mai Lee notes her parents as her biggest inspirations for her music career. Fleeing from Vietnam in 1978 during the Vietnam War, Lee’s parents migrated through multiple refugee camps over the years before calling St. Louis their home. They opened up the first Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant, Mai Lee Restaurant, a local staple in the city. The restaurant was built from absolutely nothing and ended up becoming the blueprint. Watching them work hard towards their dreams gave her the hustle and grit to pursue her dreams.
Press play on the live performance visual for “Von,” stream the official audio on your DSP of choice, and expect the re-release of Mai’s ‘FRIENDZ‘ to arrive later this year via Venice Music!
