Chant+ by PeaceRussie Out Today

Today, Grimalkin released Chant+, a reimagining by musician and producer PeaceRussie (he/him) of So Nice Yesterday's second project Chant.

With Chant+, PeaceRussie explores different musical expressions, while paying homage to the duo.

"I have known both Berko and Thom for more than an decade now, and have admired their willingness to blend genres and display their influences and vulnerabilities. This EP is another example of 'giving flowers' to artist(s)l I respect and hold in high regard." -PeaceRussie

PeaceRussie (he/him) is a multi-faceted, genre-shattering artist whose production stretches across various eras and sounds. With over a decade of experience and creation under his belt, Russie has been an integral part of the growth and attention Baltimore is getting right now.
 

PeaceRussie’s friend and fellow artist Son Brave described him as “Protean” which means “Readily assuming different forms or characters; extremely variable” this extends into Russie’s art as well.

Born in Baltimore, PeaceRussie spent his early years moving from house to house and would eventually settle with his grandparents. As he grew older, the young upstart was exposed to the whole gamut of music, R&B, Soul, Gospel, Hip-Hop, etc. Combine this with PeaceRussie’s affinity for the house, techno, trance infused ‘Baltimore Club’ we can see the origins of the versatile producer start to show.

It is impossible to stuff PeaceRussie into a specific lane, the “protean” comparison is on point as he’s proven over his 10 plus year tenure he can create for any situation.

“I make music that’s akin to my mood or ‘color', they explain, “I want the listeners to feel like the music they hear compliments them personally.”

No matter where one listens to PeaceRussie, one can find that they have a genuine love and passion for the music and more importantly, to bring people together with their art. 

Per PeaceRussie, digital proceeds support Grimalkin Records' current fundraisers.
