A cinematic concept album forged entirely in the dark shadows of the Cold Camp. Carved and sculpted over the ice-clad, boom-bap production of The Dirty Sample. The project plays out like a movie, where each song holds its own distinct merit within a greater overarching theme. Essentially, a horror film in audio format. The record is a testament to hard work, perseverance and Canadian rap craftsmanship. It creates a complete universe where primal fear and northern cold seamlessly become one.
Written and performed by Chaka Boy
Produced by The Dirty Sample
About Chaka Boy
Chaka Boy (born Brady Hughes, formerly known as D-vice) is a Calgary-based underground rapper, co-founder of the hip-hop collective Cold Camp, and owner of Otherworldly Comics. He first gained coast-to-coast recognition in the Canadian underground scene as a founding member of Dirty Crew during his early years in Vancouver, BC, appearing as a guest on countless independent projects between 2003-2015. He was also heavily integrated with the Port Authority crew, a notable collective that showcased top-tier Canadian & American underground lyricists. After rebranding, he leaned heavily into gritty boom-bap, collaborating extensively with Calgary producer The Dirty Sample, releasing two Cold Camp albums: We Hate Summer (Mo Gravy Records) and Winter Dreamz (Hand’Solo Records), the latter on the Earshot college radio charts for over four months. Today, Chaka Boy seamlessly bridges Canadian hip-hop culture with creative entrepreneurship on a quest for greatness.
