Obia le Chef returns with a new extract in collaboration with Cotola “Chiengrat”
With a sharp, incisive wit, Obia casually addresses the ungrateful, putting them on the spot with Cotola's methodical, haunting arrangements.
After the release of his third album "Death will wait" last March, Obia le Chef returns with a new extract in collaboration with Cotola. Titled "Doggrat", this song is carried by a soft and soulful instrumental, while the artist expresses his truth with an icy detachment.
With a sharp and incisive mind, Obia addresses the ungrateful with nonchalance, putting them against the wall with the methodical and obsessive arrangements of Cotola.
Mixed and mastered by Cotola, "Chiengrat" is now available on all digital platforms thanks to the distribution of Soltec Records/Symphonic. The song has been added to the editorial playlists of Spotify : Rap Queb, Northern Bars and the French-speaking news as well as on New Franco by Apple Music
