ME ENCANTA
LIVE, LOVE, DIE
Early in the morning during one of the Pachangon afterparties, the gang was playing a bunch of old school reggaeton and Panamanian dancehall beats and people were freestyling, a full squad of latin rappers from NDG and St Michel. Representing the sound of Montreal's latin rap scene filtered through the lens of old school dembow, Chellz is a raw, emotional and hypnotizing performer who is always pushing the boundaries, more than 20 years since he got his start. After it's all said and done, just feel the breeze and enjoy the music, we are all going back to the same place!
