"...too G to take a knee, still I gave you all of me."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 LPA 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 its previous homeliness, a seamless compliment to his honest, lived-in raps.A Forsaken Lover's Plea is laced with guest verses from a collection of fellow New York rap torchbearers, from Pro Era comrade Joey Bada$$ & Flatbush Zombies' Erick the Architect to Queens' own Remy Banks.Strangers' tangled romance with hip-hop is the crux of the project--the culmination of a decade's unwavering dedication to his craft, with its lofty highs, inevitable lows, and rough lessons of humility, patience, and process.It's Chuck's most comprehensive solo project sinceConsumers Park, his 2018 debut, and followsThe Boys & Girls EP, released in May 2023.A Forsaken Lover's Pleais available on heavyweight green vinyl, silver tape and CD.Mixed by Trevor WrightMastered by ZerohArt direction & design by CommissionPhotography by Jack McKain
