Chin Injeti - Mask on My Face (DJ Khalil Remix)
Artist: Chin Injeti
Featuring: K'NAAN
Producer: DJ Khalii
Album: D'Tach
Label: Sparks Music
People who claim in seriousness to be one hundred percent real, one hundred percent of the time are either lying or just not watching themselves very closely – in truth, we all rock a variety of masks in our dealings with others. On this remix of his latest single, Booth newcomer and New Royales member Chin Injeti delves into the ways in which romantic relationships make us conscious of our many-sidedness, lamenting, “You always see me with a Mask on My Face.” Heavy as the track’s subject matter may be, fellow New Royale DJ Khalil‘s dreamy, head-nodding production makes for a refreshingly laid-back listening experience. Booth favorite K’NAAN ties it all together with what may well be his strangest verse to date, kicking things off with the oddly profound (and profoundly odd) lines, “My women and I get drafted by emotions, to fight in blame-filled, guilty oceans / I put a mask on, she could be settled, its color is a complacent yellow.” If this left-of-center slice of pop goodness leaves you wanting more, check out Chin’s forthcoming debut solo LP, D’Tach, set to drop April 6.

Chin's got a nice, clear voice perfect over the Khalil beat. The rap part ruined the mood but i'm really feelin the hook.

Smoothness, pretty hot. Still has a hip hop feel, even aside from the rap. I can get with this one, good headphone music for sure. Chins vocals were great.

I like this better than Original. Newly introduced kick-snare pattern adds to the power behind the track and makes it far more memorable to me.

I have to agree with @The 149th. This is one of those tracks that I respect, and I'm not trying to be critical of, I just didn't personally connect with it. Still, I'm down for more from Chin, I bet he's got some music I'll be feeling in his catalog.

Not my favorite K'NAAN contribution, but Khalil's production was more than enough to turn me on to Chin's music. I am looking forward to the new album.
