Chef Pida x Duse Beatz - Lost My Mind (Official Audio)
What’s good y’all? We back covering the dopest artists you might not know about. Today we have a special gem from two 775 based creatives, Chef Pida and Duse Beatz. The July 16th release is titled “Lost My Mind” and is a good look for both parties involved. The song has been in rotation in heavy around here. The song itself is a reminder of how much progress both artists have made in their respective lanes.
Chef Pida has been doing his thing for some time and he’s now seeing the invested time starting to yield a return. The record starts off with the hook first to reel in listeners over the slumpy beat. Setting the picture for what he’s been surrounded around with lately. It’s a fast way of living but it fits Chef Pida as he’s just as crazy as the situations he finds himself in. Nothing surprises him as he’s been desensitized from the shock and awe of the unexpected happening. From the content of the first verse, it appears that he may be affiliated with the label Empire. “A n***a numbers been going crazy. Them Empire checks done fattened up. I did more numbers than Smokepurpp, we only smoking on exotic duh.”
Its blessings on blessings for Chef lately. Having been locked in and stacking up music for releases, we are starting to see the quality of his releases increase production wise. The collaboration with Duse Beatz (formerly known as Young Duse) is a full circle moment. Outside of Chef going up, the Reno based producer has seen lots of recent success. Duse Beatz has a star studded production credits list under his belt. The most impressive being Drakeo the Ruler. Being a go to producer for the Stinc Team comes with a lot of acclaim due to the momentum coming from that section. Having personally seen Duse perform back in the days of 2011-2012 for various artists alongside other local opening acts, I can imagine him and Chef Pida overlapping in social circles. Now that the two have had paths of professional growth in their fields, coming together to release something means a little more to them these days.
The way these two work, it’s nothing to them. They do this shit for a living and this just another rep in the gym. The skill acquired over time makes this record seem so effortless and natural. The delivery, execution and style sprinkled across all layers of this composition make it something special. I can expect much more from both Chef and Duse. The song is addicting and prone to replay. The second verse goes just as crazy as the first. Probably my favorite of the song comes from the last verse. Chef Pida talks that slick shit and Duse provides the bounce for the whole ride along. The beat gives an instant nostalgia for anyone who remembers a lot of influences from the early 2010 years. There’s still that distinct Duse Beatz sound, the blending of different sounds from today and the past is well done.
If there’s anything you should know is that the weather watcher is a fan of a good quotable. Any record with a good amount of those is good in my book.
