Today (July 14), Chaz French, rising D.C. based artist and newest signee of ThreeSixEight/Motown/Capitol Records releases his highly anticipated debut album True ColorsTrue Colors is Chaz’s testimony revealed via his music highlighting his personal experiences, successes, struggles, and relationships.  The project, transparent and relatable, tells a story that is true to Chaz but also many young black men and fathers in America.

Speaking on the album Chaz French states, “This album means everything to me from start to finish.  I put my heart and soul into every song.  I just wanted to show people that anything is possible no matter what you are going through.  No matter the situation, there is always a way out!  These songs are really my true colors.  I wanted people to know exactly who I am and what I stand for – this album is my mood ring.  I’m just happy I get to share what I love with who I love.

Songs like “Amerikkka” and “Young World” (featuring a soliloquy from political activist Tony Lewis Jr.) feature political undertones cut with fiery bars, while tracks like “Start It Up,” and “So Are We” (featuring fellow DC rapper Innanet James and Phil Ade) offer how Chaz and his peers continue to reconcile their upbringing and, at times, unfair environment.

Not always so serious, Chaz switches to his cheekier disposition with songs like “Uncle Luke” and the softer, dreamier track “Situations,” balancing out the project. The album features a slew of Chaz’s rapper and artist friends including Cassey Veggies, Curren$y, BJ The Chicago Kid and more.  Check out the tracklisting and project below.
