Chubby Fly Releases New Single 'Big Deal'
In a time where life feels more uncertain than ever before, an artist’s success can uniquely be determined by self-belief. With that in mind, Chubby Fly’s new single ‘Big Deal’ is the rap entrepreneur’s grandest statement yet: a boastful anthem picking up where his recent release ‘Find Us’ left off.
“I feel I’m overlooked as an artist, and on ‘Find Us’ I expressed that,” Chubby says. “It was the perfect precursor to ‘Big Deal’, which is hard-hitting and empowering, with a nice touch of braggadocio.”
‘Big Deal’ is the buzz track on the new deluxe version of Chubby’s 2019 debut EP All Praise To The Most Fly, which is set for release on June 12. The rapper enlisted Australian rap sensation Hooks for the song’s sizzling guest feature, bridging the gap in Trans-Tasman rap.
“I recently had a chance meeting with Hooks’ Father/Manager when he dropped by my Barbershop, Late Nights the Barbershop,” Chubby says. “After playing him my music, he said Hooks would be a good fit for ‘Big Deal’ and they quickly sent the verse over to me.”
“Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to meet Chubby yet, but when this COVID-19 thing is over, I’m flying to New Zealand. He owes me a drink!” Hooks says.
In light of the unprecedented setbacks faced by Artists due to the current global pandemic, Chubby Fly is staying at the forefront by collaborating with like-minded acts and staying true to his lyrics.
“Pretending they don’t, I know that they see / I made it this far with only belief / And only the hustlers know it ain’t cheap / Paying the price, you know it ain’t free.”
In addition to its seven original tracks, the deluxe version of All Praise To The Most Fly EP features two new songs and three remixes.
