Seattle’s own Chepps is breaking the mold with his latest single, “What’s New,” a hazy smoker’s anthem that showcases the rapper’s soothing baritone voice and chill charisma. This laid-back number, from his three-track EP Distant Relative (Distance is Relative), is a tribute to the power of taking a step back from life’s daily grind, indulging in the occasional smoke break or two, and sharing good times with friends. The beat is a dope fusion of new-age vibes and throwback sounds, giving off that ’70s player’s theme feel while still keeping things undeniably fresh and new.
At times sounding like he’s channeling the spirit of MC Breed, Chepps threads a narrative that serves as a reminder to take it easy, appreciate the journey, and focus on the present moment. This is a track that will have you sitting back and nodding your head to the beat, whether you’re smoking or not. Broadly speaking, “What’s New” captivates listeners from all backgrounds with its laid-back beat and “let the b.s. slide” message. And serves as a universal reminder to embrace life’s simple pleasures, resonating with music fans everywhere.
