Bananabeat Records’ featured artist, Chris Young the Rapper releases his latest project, Value Pack 2: Cream & Sugar. Renowned producer, radio personality, and recording artist Clinton Sparks is hosting the release, which drops on April 20th alongside Chris Young’s performance at Bananajam at The Roxy Theater in LA. DJ Benzi has also joined the team to create a fluid mixtape of Young’s new jams.
The second installment of the Value Pack Project is a slick blend of a variety of genres. Young’s distinctive styling ties everything together, effortlessly transitioning from the laid-back SoCal vibes of “Postin’ West Coastin’†into the dynamic, electronically driven, “Fancy Things.â€
“This isn’t my year, this is my decade,†exclaims Young. After having worked with hip-hop heavyweights Del The Funky Homosapien, MC Wax, and DJ Skee, who presented Young’s 1991 EP, Value Pack 2 gives fans a glimpse of Young’s unique ability to smoothly assemble a range of material all on one record.
“While the cream is just pure classic hip-hop, leaving right off the 1991 time machine and leading us to the sugar, the sugar is electronica, the sugar is dubstep with samples of ‘The Little Mermaid’ and we even mixed a song from my debut album into the concoction,†said Young.
“Chris has come a long way since the ‘Mood Swing EP.’ I’m really excited about how much he has been able to accomplish in such a short time and Value Pack 2 is another great demonstration of his limitless potential as an artist,†said Cisco Adler, founder of Bananabeat Records.
