We've always found that one of the most reliable ways to find good new artists is through other good new artists. This recommendation comes directly from 6LACK. He sent over a link to Chadster's song "Lose Control" featuring MarcyStone and told us: "[I've] known them since ‘09 and was in a group together way before everything happened for me."
Chadster is originally from New York, but he moved to Georgia in 2004 and a few years later during school, he started linking up with other local artists, including 6LACK and MarcyStone. By 2014 he was taking music seriously and was performing local shows in Atlanta. "You gotta engage and interact on and off social media," Chadster says. "I had to make my presence felt and known."
Chadster's song "Lose Control" is R&B with a subtle hip-hop edge, but it keeps things restrained and understated even with one of the catchiest hooks we've heard in a minute. These choices are subtle but intentional: "I love the new sounds of R&B and hip-hop and how it mixes," Chadster says on how he feels about the state of music right now. "The new evolution of rhythm and patterns with new flows... I think it's time to see the new wave of artist."
