After collaborating with Talib Kweli, Das Racist, and NIKO IS, the Bronx-bred Chazmere presents his self-titled effort out June 10. For a taste of the album now, check out single “No B-Sides” on HipHopDX.

Chazmere is uncompromising with “No B-Sides”, not ready to release just anything, not letting himself have weaker songs just for the sake of having a b-side. The album sounds lean and new, the hip hop of today, but doesn’t discount older jazzy backbeats or even the slightest addition to the production. Though it’s a hip hop album with consideration, it doesn’t become overbearing or upsetting, instead using backline to keep the listener on to the lyrical content.
