DM GENERATION PRESENTS:

CHUCK STRANGERS • www.instagram.com/chuckstrangers

New York rapper and producer Chuck Strangers brings his introspective, jazz-inflected boom-bap to Exchange Bristol, fresh off the release of A Forsaken Lover’s Plea — his most comprehensive solo work since 2018’s Consumers Park. The album showcases a matured, more layered sound shaped by five years of self-reflection, process, and collaboration. With features from Joey Bada$$, Erick the Architect, and production credits from The Alchemist and Animoss, the record blends 90s East Coast grit with emotionally rich, forward-looking storytelling — a testament to Chuck’s evolving relationship with hip-hop and his commitment to growth.

Chuck first made his mark as an in-house producer with Pro Era before carving out his own path as a solo artist. From his MPC2000 beginnings at 13 to a seasoned sound rooted in discipline and patience, his music continues to echo a deep respect for the culture while breaking new ground. A Forsaken Lover’s Plea doesn’t dwell on nostalgia — it reckons with it, offering raw lyricism and lush, honest production that speak to both personal transformation and the shifting shape of New York rap.

BRIAN NASTY • www.instagram.com/nastybrian

Brian Nasty is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose creativity spans music, visual art, and subculture. In November 2024, he released the first part of his ambitious two-part mixtape Anywhere, But Here With You via Big Dada, featuring collaborations with Felix of Paris Texas and Wiki, with production from Joe Armon-Jones, Jerry Paper, and Paul White. The second installment arrives November 2025, preceded by singles “Two” and “Belly Of The Beast” and forthcoming tracks with Eyedress and Sofie Royer, continuing his boundary-blurring exploration of sound, story, and style.
