Northeaster Emcee Chew Checks In With His Impressive New EP, ‘Emerald Eyes’

Over the last few years, the cards have shifted a bit and the rules that governed the game are a bit different now. We’ve seen a new crop of artists coming out of different places, showcasing the work that was put in by them over quarantine instead of just playing video games and binge drinking on a Tuesday. Coming from Lynn, Massachusetts, rising rapper Chew falls firmly in the latter category, as he’s showcased a new focus coming out on the other side of the pandemic. Looking to take that a step further, he drops off his engaging new EP, Emerald Eyes.

Emerald Eyes encapsulates a moment of time and energy and invites the listener to shift their perspective to a broader scale. Through the exploration and nurturing of many sounds that stem from the vast influences of Chew, he was able to create a time stamp of a very transformational point in his life. Chew is interested in knowledge, growth and relation and through his analysis of personal experiences wants listeners to understand they are never alone in any thought or feeling, however vague or detailed it may seem. Throughout the album Chew discovers that there is something to learn in every idea and with that comes something new it can turn into. Showcasing an empathetic pen that is more relatable than most, Emerald Eyes reminds us that there are lenses through which we view life, and we have the choice to see the reality we want. But we realize we cannot get there without first enduring the microscope being placed over ourself.
