Chuck Strangers

Hip Hop fans take note Chuck Strangers is coming to BIRD on Tuesday 5th November. Chuck is a Brooklyn born rapper and producer, recently released his new album “A Forsaken Lover's Plea” via Lex Records. The album marks a major milestone in his musical odyssey, chronicling his relationship with hip hop and personal growth as an artist.

Strangers’ musical journey began as a member of the hip-hop collective Pro Era, which was co-founded by his childhood friend, the late rapper Capital Steez. As a producer, he’s made beats for several Pro Era members, including Joey Bada$$, and collaborated with notable artists such as Mick Jenkins and Smoke DZA. His production style, heavily influenced by the classic boom-bap sound of the 90s, perfectly complements his introspective and nostalgic rapping.

The concept behind “A Forsaken Lover’s Plea,” which serves as a metaphor for his relationship with hip-hop, captures the joys and pitfalls of life as a musician and chronicles his experience of falling in love with the art form. Strangers explained that the album’s title track, which features a Richard Pryor sample, sets the tone for the project, inviting listeners to join him on a journey of self-reflection and rediscovery.
