Chuck Strangers

1 upcoming festival

Pro Era producer-turned-rapper — smoky, soulful East Coast beats under unhurried, writerly bars, in the lineage that runs from Dilla to Earl.

Chuck Strangers is a rapper and producer from Brooklyn, associated with the Pro Era collective that formed around Joey Bada$$ in the early 2010s. He contributed production to the group's early mixtapes and to Joey Bada$$'s 1999, working in a sample-based style rooted in dusty loops and unhurried drums. He later stepped forward as a rapper himself, releasing solo albums including Consumers Park, where his conversational delivery and self-produced beats give the material a loose, homemade feel.
