Now, freshly removed from doing a show two hours away from her hometown and gaining a few new fans, Chelsea Pastel gives us the accompanying visuals to “D.M.T.”, with Jon Holman behind the lens and the video is just as loopy as you would expect, after hearing the song. While “D.M.T.”, in this case, has nothing to do with drugs, it’s hard to watch this video and not feel like you’re on something. From mannequin heads to people in creepy Jabbawockee masks to a guy who is totally tweaking, this video is quite the experience and compliments the song fairly well.

Watch “D.M.T.” below and keep your eyes and ears peeled as Chelsea Pastel is gearing up to release a brand new EP, sooner than later.

“Accordin’ to the net, I can’t be wrecked wit’/I’m reckless”

“Missy Elliot’s “The Rain” is one of those songs that’s so classic that no one should ever cover it, sample it or attempt to freestyle over it” – Me, once upon a time.
I stood by the above statement from the first time I heard that song, as a kid, until now and I had absolutely no plans on retracting it. However, Cleveland emcee and producer Chelsea Pastel might have made me eat my words. 

After recently signing to Foredise Records, it’s clear that Chelsea planned on getting right to work, promising us new music. Listen as she tackles Missy and Timbaland’s legendary record, with “Pastelliot”, putting a spin on it that only she can.
