Chuckyy: “Bumblebee” Observe Overview | Pitchfork

In Philly, in D.C., and in Chicago proper now, all of the rappers are in competitors to see who can greatest seize the doomsday vibes of the E-book of Revelation. The winner may be Lil Durk protégé Chuckyy, a brand new Chicago drill lightning rod with a voice that feels like he’s rapping with nostril plugs. On “Bumblebee,” a single from his current EP Tweak Until the Finish, his matted, hurried supply makes it appear to be he’s in a life-or-death time crunch. Mix that with a biblical-sounding spin on a 42 Dugg-core Michigan beat and it’s nearly such as you’re standing within the eye of a hurricane. And although Chuckyy has out-of-town influences, “Bumblebee” could be very a lot within the custom of Chicago drill, the place bone-chilling temper items are nothing new. His trick is a scurrying, anxiety-inducing circulate that feels as if he’s inside a recording sales space that can fill to the ceiling with water (just like the lab in Deep Blue Sea) if he doesn’t end his verse in underneath two minutes.
