Chase is Georgia mc who is giving you another reason not to stereotype that down south hip-hop. Several hot tracks demand airplay on the new Dead Poets full-length. Chase proves not to be a one-sided mc, he’s got the whole arsenal: metaphors, punchlines, storytelling, intelligence, aggression, rhythm, and a clear, articulate voice.

“Visitor” is a social commentary from an alien’s eye view – a good song concept, executed consistently throughout the song without falling out of the role. This Redd Menace produced track compliments the lyricism well. This song and several others on the Dead Poets LP have that crucial balance between instrumentation and vocals. In “Regrets”, Chase speaks from the grave, as a victim of mistaken identity. This tragic story is a powerful and solemn expression of death’s irrational and unpredictable nature. I’m glad to see that Chase doesn’t avoid the difficult topics, and he doesn’t just repeat the same played-out cliches, either. I find this album impressive mainly because of the interesting ideas and thoughts that went into the lyricism. But even if you’re not the type of listener to examine the words closely, you’ll still be satisfied by the fluid, even-metered flow and bangin beats on tracks like “Tenacious” and “Kaotic Cipha”. This album is full of witty one-liners as well as developed concepts, thoughtful insight as well as passionate expression. Chase has proven his ability to create music from more than one angle, and if he can continue to do that, then the possibilities are unlimited.
