Like many rappers, Che Grand views his Gold Chains as more than flashy accessories; to the NYC-based emcee, born to Nigerian parents in Great Britain, they’re emblematic of both his heritage and his drive to become hip-hop royalty, and, as he explains on this newly-leaked LP cut (labeled as Part Deux, though there doesn’t seem to be a prequel on the tracklist), he’s not going to stop rocking them anytime soon.  PB‘s densely-layered boardwork sets the stage for a synth-soaked rap anthem and Grand brings lyrical fire to match, self-mythologizing in a laid-back, unflappably confident flow.  I’m not sure who “they” are who wish Che’d stay in his lane, but I have a feeling that, if the up-and-comer keeps turning out jams like this one, Booth readers will be more than happy to swerve along with him.  Those who like what they’re hearing can find this track, along with previous features Chateau Gold, Too Much Too Soon, and Girls Talk, on Everything’s Good Ugly (dropping tomorrow, the 18th).  Watch for Che Grand to step into the Booth for an exclusive freestyle after our series resumes in September!

PB went EPIC with that opening production. The beat rides perfectly for Che's rhyme-style and cadence. However, I'd be curious to hear an emcee with a double or triple time rhyme-style rip this. Nice message and delivery.

This is hot. Segues well after Radio. I like how some of these songs blend. =) I love the production and Che Grands flow fit well on this. I like the content of what he's talkin about. No bs spit.

Now that is some fly! sh*t to flow over. Set to the slow rolling bass-line enriched with synth swirls, Che delivers an easy-going flow and matches the mood/vibe of the beat ... 3.5

Loving the vibe on this, Ill be watching out to Che Grand. The beat is real smooth and he comes correct on it while getting his message across.
