Chucks

Terrace Martin

<p><a href="/profile/TerraceMartin" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Terrace Martin</a> just tapped Channel Tres for a funky and lush new single, &#8220;Chucks.&#8221; The two Los Angeles natives walk in pretty <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/307003-terrace-martin-highlights-the-sounds-of-crenshaw-on-village-days-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">different musical lanes</a>, but their link-up sparks fireworks. Moreover, Tres&#8217; understated and almost sensual vocals pair with his deep house-inspired production. Also, there&#8217;s the undercurrent of soul and funk that runs throughout a lot of his work in the bassline and trumpets. However, Martin pops in the track with wailing saxophone and riffs effortlessly over the peppy jam. Even if you haven&#8217;t heard of these artists before, this track is a must on your weekly feel-good jams.</p>

<p>Furthermore, the acclaimed saxophonist is nominated for a Grammy this year for Best Progressive R&amp;B Album for <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/365390-terrace-martin-shares-drones-ft-kendrick-lamar-snoop-dogg-ty-dolla-sign-cordae-d-smoke-hit-boy-and-m-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DRONES</a></em>. Also, he&#8217;s got a few upcoming shows as part of his Dinner Party <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/293060-terrace-martin-9th-wonder-kamasi-washington-and-robert-glasper-bring-dessert-to-the-dinner-party-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">supergroup</a> with Kamasi Washington, <a href="/profile/9thwonder" class="text-word" target="_blank" >9th Wonder</a>, and Robert Glasper. They include a Terminal 5 set in New York and even a spot at Coachella this year. On the other hand, Channel Tres steadily released singles, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/402379-mura-masa-channel-tres-and-shygirl-drop-a-dance-banger-in-hollaback-bitch-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">featured on projects</a>, and even dropped a couple of his own. If you&#8217;ve listened to either in any capacity, you know the curious potential of a track like this. While we&#8217;re not used to hearing Martin over electronic production, Channel Tres makes him feel right at home. </p>
