Critically acclaimed Washington, D.C. rapper Chaz French returns with his first single of 2020 – ”Me” feat. Cam Wallace. Released today via HighRes Global/Motown Records, the track is a timely anthem for self-awareness. Chaz talks about life’s highs and lows, surviving difficult times and how separation and isolation can help you find your true self. Get it HERE. Watch the visualizer HERE.
Chaz French says, “We’re all going through a tough moment right now. I feel like it’s super important, during these times of isolation and doubt, to have a foundation of ultimate self-love and belief. Even though it may seem that our world is crashing down around us, have faith that you can pull through. God’s got us!”
Lines like, “Never been scared of asking for help, but normally I’m in the mirror with that,” clearly suggest that Chaz has faced inner battles and he’s looking to the mirror to address them. The production borrows from the familiar Trick Daddy hit “I’m A Thug.” Chaz’s infectious cadence provides the perfect bounce. while Cam Wallace’s smooth cameo on the memorable hook lends contrast to the turmoil Chaz speaks of in the verses. It’s an inspiring combination that calls for listeners to push through, even in the face of loss and adversity. A-Major and $K produced the song.
