CHUCK II (pronounced Chuck Deuce, per a 2017 piece on Pigeons and Planes) was born in the DMV and moved to the Bay Area. Technically, this counts as a West Coast feature and a local write-up because of his roots. Hooray for artists growing and finding their successes at home and abroad. Today, we’re talking his newest release “TRUTH.”

A track powered by a piano loop, CHUCK talks about his soul, his wants for his world, and the dangers of humanity’s quest for possible self-destruction (and the money). The song feels like what’d happen if you mixed Big K.R.I.T., circa 4eva is a Mighty Long Time, with a Schoolboy Q (if Q was from the Bay). There’s a certain smoothness to his flow that is warm and inviting while still providing listeners with a come to Jesus moment. Check out the track below and remember to support dope music in all its forms–and find your own truth in this world.
