“Mari-i-i-a, Chaundon just met a girl named Maria…” Sorry, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to drop a little West Side Story on y’all. And the narrative that unfolds over the course of up-and-coming producer KVBeats’ first feature does bear a few similarities to the classic musical, minus the finger-snapping gangsters and tragic ending. Leaked this past summer but currently being promoted as a single, Maria finds the Copenhagen, Denmark-based beatsmith cooking up a mellow, sampled backdrop (with a dope Latin-guitar breakdown on the back) as the NYC native recounts his blossoming romance with a beautiful “Puerto Rican princess” from the Lower East Side. After a chance encounter on the street, they bond over consecutive nights of deep conversation, Telemundo and Spanish cussing; by the end of the record, their relationship is going so well that the Bronx emcee’s seriously considering going shopping for a ring. Digging this laid-back chronicle of summer love? More dope beats and Booth-approved guests await on KVBeats’ The Résumé LP, out now in stores and online.

This is a Maria that you definitely want to get to know much better. KVBeats, your table is ready sir. More work should flow your way after this taste of your new album makes the rounds.
PS. Props to Chaundon, who always gives his feature work (and this is technically feature work) 110% - which is much more than most artists. How many contributions have we heard Weezy mail in?

Im really feeling this from KVBeats. He did very nice on his verses in this. And the feature of Chaundon is a great fit for this record. Chaundon really made this record that much better. With out Chaundon, this song would be rated this high for me. Also, the production from himself is very nice. I love the gitarre part. A banger for me.
