GRAMMY® Award-nominated rapper, singer, producer, and artist Jidenna has unleashed his anxiously awaited full-length debut album, The Chief.
Over the course of 14 tracks, Jidenna blurs the lines between genres, cultures, and creeds as he integrates styles into an immersive, intelligent, and inimitable tribalized hip-hop hybrid. Boasting fan favorites such as the simmering new single Bambi, the raucous Long Live The Chief, and swaggering Little Bit More, the album illuminates the extent of his musical arsenal. Press remains good to him as New York Times wrote, “From the beginning, Jidenna is defying categorization at every turn; his musical range is impressive and thoughtful.” The Chief also boasts guest features from Wondaland visionary Janelle Monáe, St. Beauty, and Nana Kwabena on the anthem Safari.
Last week, this multi-talented maverick dropped the cinematic video for The Let Out” [feat. Quavo]. The track sees Jidenna carry honest and hypnotic bars over an airy soundscape from Nana Kwabena a longtime collaborator and the Ghanian producer behind his double-platinum Classic Man [feat. Roman GianArthur].
