The long-awaited album, Chief, from frequent Quelle Chris collaborator Cavalier is slated to drop on September 9th. To keep us in check til then, Cav has brought forth the single “Watch and Learn”  This spirited spitter is seemingly from another rap galaxy as he intricately details the life of a kid living through a drug house. Produced by BMB Spacekid, the track is spacey and soulful at the same time. Ruby Flores, the video’s director, puts you at eye level of the 9-year-old youngster that has to endure his tainted surroundings. Strong visions and even stronger message.
