Che Revels in the Rockstar Life on 'REST IN BASS'

Summary

• Che has unveiled his latest studio endeavor, REST IN BASS
• Marking the Atlanta rapper’s sophomore studio album, the LP spans 18 songs and features fellow underground talents OsamaSon, xaviersobased, and Chuckyy

As today’s age of underground rappers continues to find (and champion) its collective footing in the grand scheme of contemporary hip-hop, Che has cemented himself as one of the leading torchbearers of the new guard. With his sophomore album REST IN BASS out now, the 18-year-old Atlanta rapper has, in total, racked up two studio albums, three extended plays, a mixtape, and, of course, a handful of high-octane and even higher-decibel bass-banging singles; REST IN BASS is a proper reckoning of the rising star’s sky-high capabilities and the possibilities that lie at the crux of his full potential as a pioneering voice in the underground space.

An anthemic ode to Che’s current rockstar life, REST IN BASS arrives after months of speculation surrounding its release. After all, Che’s on no one’s time but his own. Ultimately defined by its blown-out beats and braggadocious lyrics, REST IN BASS is the epitome of rage-rap in the post-SoundCloud era. It’s equal parts hedonistic and chaotic, with hidden lines of introspection that are quickly buried by repetitive bars of Che reminding us who he is: “I feel it in my chest, I’m the best,” “I’m like Macho Man Randy Savage,” and “I’m a hellraiser” included.

While primarily a solo effort, Che does enlist the likes of fellow underground icons xaviersobased, Chuckyy, and, as the album’s most anticipated feature, OsamaSon on standout track “HELLRAISER.”
