HA Chu

karzeen Some rap is a muscular feat, the stuff of young people confidently asserting a world view.

HA Chu shows that there's room for other voices in the medium; providing a series of elusive portraits where real and fake seem not to matter. Plainly inspired by Jazz and Rap greats, this album remains utterly unique. Favorite track: Script (Prod. Coup Diablo).

My girl dressed like a girl, Cowboy hats boots and Spanish pearls I see on both sides like Chapelle, See on both sides like Chapelle The daily planet writes me up well Hint, Clark Kent slipped and fell I be the new son of Jor-El Clean your nose with my new lapel Flying twice as high with no butterflies in the sky OD’d and an alibi Rainbows can’t read and Lavare can’t see Sue me I’m a trekkie So dated and rehearsed And fashionably late Ill funk like rotten milk and past the expiration date It’ll make your granny’s cow lactate Thus old rugs levitate You’ll wonder why I got apple pie prune juice and carrot cakes Silly wabbit trix are for kids and I only watch R-rated vids On VHS blue neon grids Did you shoot Bambi? Yes, you did. Don’t worry I won’t tell a soul, underground like Alice in a rabbit hole Please there’s no need to text us, eavesdrop on you like Alexa (Come in closer) Thought it was Wonderland Data sent to Amazon shamans Bossa Nova, you a boss huh? Now you’re deep in the woods on Ayahuasca (Come in closer) Burn me out the forest when you’re more harrier than Chuck Norris Try to control my fate? I'll have a talk with your mum after I’m done with the carrot cake I’m gonna beat them in the coliseum A cat will be the witness of my outstanding fitness Shuffling on em like Ali Then he'll try to shuffle like me, what a sight to see (Come in closer) Because I don’t fight I eat chips and watch a lotta kung fu flicks Way of the dragon be my profile pic Fell off the wagon by Daniel’s crane style kick (Come in closer) Guts on the beat, we go slumming in Paris throwing daggers at feet We put the crowd into a sweat lodge dried saliva with a tinge of Fromage Collage claymation and paper mache Duchamp this scene like Claude Monet PO Box number collect cache Prefer vin rouge to pink rose I’m topless so you ain’t top of nothing Spotless in a junkyard eatin’ muffins A little yeasty put it back in the oven BBQ play trumpet like Kermit Ruffins

about

The reluctantly mysterious Pan Amsterdam’s new album, HA Chu offers listeners immediate access into the creative process and transcontinental artistic community that’s encouraged his Def Pressé albums, thus far.

On the strength of Pan Amsterdam’s critically acclaimed 2018 debut album, The Pocket Watch, he toured the U.K. with DJ/ producer Mr. Shn and the U.S. with Open Mike Eagle until Iggy Pop tapped Leron Thomas (New York-based composer, producer, multi-media artist and trumpeter/ mastermind behind his rap persona, Pan Amsterdam) to pen and produce most of his new album, Free.

While touring with Iggy Pop as lead trumpeter and bandleader, Leron (Pan Amsterdam) further collaborated with vocalists, musicians and producers he met on tour.

This album features collabs with Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods), Jimi Goodwin (Doves) with some other surprises along the way. HA Chu is the sonic retrospective of Pan Am's international touring experience.

about

Pan Amsterdam New York, New York

When Pan Amsterdam washed up on the coast, he was wearing an oversized black velvet jacket with a cigarette burn, black jeans and two different coloured church socks. Further along the coast we found a trumpet case WITH a trumpet inside of it, in the case's side zipper there was a mouthpiece, valve oil for the horn, and a drive with tape on. Written on the tape were the words, "Elevator Music". ... more
