The third single off their forthcoming joint album Root Sellers hits with a calm confidence—rhymes land sharp, beats breathe, and the rhythm invites you to lean in, not look away. Chadio floats over The Gumshoe Strut’s dusty loops with the kind of control that only comes from years in the trenches. This isn’t trying to impress—it just is. With well-placed cuts from Chaps rounding it all out, “Flow State” feels like a locked-in cipher that never needed a crowd to be valid.

Chadio’s journey traces back to Vancouver’s airwaves where he held freestyle champion status from ‘98 to 2000. Since then, he’s evolved into an artist with depth—personal, clever, and unafraid to shift gears mid-bar. His relocation to Kamloops hasn’t dulled the edge; if anything, it sharpened it. He’s as known for his intricate rhymes as for his beat tapes under the alias Pasquale. The Gumshoe Strut, hailing from Winnipeg, brings a veteran’s poise to the boards. Over two decades deep in the game, his beats pulse with grit and warmth, serving as the perfect foil for Chadio’s bars. Together, they’re not chasing trends—they’re pulling from their own deep wells and crafting something steady, lived-in, and layered.
