To say International recording artist Chantaé Vetrice has begun the year with a bang would be an understatement! No Days Off, is the motto and Chantae has her foot firmly placed on the throttle, with the release of her new single, ‘R.I.P.’. The track’s title is a familiar synonym in society widely used upon all platforms as a mode of expression for condolences. The problem is, in music, especially in hip-hop culture, the synonym has become quite familiar and all too frequent.
Inspired by the recent senseless death of Migos band member Takeoff, Chantaé Vetrice felt compelled to create the track, ‘R.I.P.’ along with her producer, Lazerwolf as not only a tribute, but to raise awareness to the epidemic. R.I.P. begins with a soft violin and flute serenade followed by Chantaé Vetrice exclaiming; “The most dangerous job in America,”… the beat drops and the fun starts. Chantae goes in, and believe me, she leaves no stone unturned as the barrage of actions that result in violence is often a result of disrespect. Chantaé Vetrice Drops the Low on Internet gangsters, Clubhouse pretenders and even those spreading gossip.
With eyes wide open, Chantaé Vetrice is an artist with a wide range of style and flavor; however, as an advocate for expression, the pain of injustice and senseless crime in the industry had reached a boiling point. R.I.P. Awareness is necessary! Chantaé Vetrice is necessary! And with hope, Chantae’s new release, R.I.P. will serve as a wake-up call to make amends and walk in love with our adversaries.
R.I.P. is set to impact airwaves this Friday, with the visuals soon to follow. As you can imagine, to illustrate such a vision, Chantaé Vetrice turned to the creative minds at the REBL House Agency out of Montreal, Canada who’s been responsible for the likes of L’oreal – Paris, Novartis and Hello Fresh award winning campaigns.

Chantae’ Since your last appearance in 2022 to the ProMediaBank platform, what project(s) have you been working on?
I’ve been gearing up for my upcoming single “R.I.P.” that’s dropping Friday, January 20th! Shooting the music video for that and also had a performance right before the holiday.
We’ve noticed, unlike many independent artists, your steelo is outside of the norm, what makes you unique (style, music, approach)?
I would say it’s a combination of all 3. I have been creating music that blends genres because I have a deep love and appreciation for different styles. At the end of the day, I do what feels right for me while staying in the pocket of what’s hot.
In the past few months, the vibe in the industry has taken a more futuristic turn with artists blending different genres to come up with an original record, what are your thoughts?
I’m excited about this because this has been my approach, musically, for quite some time. We are watching the sounds in Hip Hop change in real-time and I’m here for it! Every genre evolves and its time for us to go to the next level…wherever that may be. Also, it gives us more creative freedom when we aren’t placed in a box.
Tell us about the upcoming single, R.I.P? The direction, producer?
R.I.P. was inspired by how I feel when it comes to rappers constantly dying in our industry. When Takeoff was killed, it really hit me hard and I immediately came up with the song. I think people will be able to resonate with it.
Lazerwolf is my producer and we work on a lot of projects together so it was only right that we work on this one together.
What are the plans for “R.I.P.” (visuals, support, tour)?
I shot the video for “R.I.P.” with a Canadian-based, creative agency called REBL House. They really brought the emotion to life. I can’t wait to share it with the world.
Can we expect a tour from Chantae’? What’s Next?
Right now, my focus is hitting the stage! Definitely stay tuned for show dates in your city!
