CHIKA Steps Into Her Power On SAMSON: THE ALBUM
“You ever try to make your art out of pain?”
After a meteoric rise to the top that included several million streams, placement on Barack Obama’s summer playlist, and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, self-christened truth-teller CHIKA returns with her official debut, SAMSON: THE ALUBM.
Deeply personal, introspective and philosophical, the project explores the concept of a person stepping into their power over opulent, borderline theatrical production. Real champion-like you know.
"SAMSON is an album for people who know their worth and value despite the standards that they’re used to," CHIKA said of her hotly anticipated debut.
Using Samson, the biblical warrior, as her avatar — while still keeping a distinctly autobiographical tone, the 26-year-old Alabama-born singer-songwriter and rapper gets in her bag, talking her talk, while telling her truth - something that eludes most artists.
Aside from serving the real, SAMSON: THE ALBUM feature appearances by Snoop Dogg, Wale, Freddie Gibbs, and even Stevie Wonder on harmonica (“GET HERE”).
