On The Block: Chanel West Coast

Recently, her name has been coming up in various outlets as the next “it” girl. But, who is she exactly?  After doing a little research, this fresh face is Lil Wayne’s newest protégé and she’s now a member of YMCMB.

Chanel West Coast.  Her latest project, which released in early July, justifies the buzz she’s been receiving by the public. “Now You Know” is a mixtape with many well-known features and heavy influences of the hip-hop, pop, and R&B culture. As the self-proclaimed number one fan of the late Tupac Shakur, Chanel definitely has engulfed herself into the world of rap and is about to claim her spot.  Not as just another white female rapper, but as emcee and singer with a style of her own that has the ability to surpass some of the others in her lane.

Although the mixtape is graced by only one producer, Rich Skillz, Robin Thicke, French Montana, Honey Cocaine, Snoop Dogg, and a few others lent their talents to the newcomer. If you haven’t checked it out, it is worth the listen. She gives you 18 dope tracks that can easily be played down South and any other environment where hip-hop are appreciated.
