Music Essentials: Vinny Cha$e

Like many new-age rappers who proudly flaunt their affinity for high-fashion in their releases, Vinny Cha$e‘s presence stretches further than just the music he produces. Founder of record label and fashion imprint Cheers Club, the creative Harlemnite’s raspy New York chic cannot only be seen in his lyrics and get-up but also the music videos he’s directed for Lil Wayne, Cam’ron and Chris Brown. While The Plaza mixtape debuted Cha$e’s foray into the music industry, his clean yet edgy delivery has spilled onto a slew of hotly-tipped singles, further providing enticing content for his jam-packed shows. We asked Cha$e for his Music Essentials and, as we anticipated, he provided a number of tech-savvy items any music entrepreneur would include, alongside a few on-stage necessities, and last but not least, a Nintendo SuperBoy — a very rare article in juxtaposition to the Louis Vuitton Duffle he also holds close.
