When two lyrical heavyweights from opposite sides of the Atlantic meet in the studio, you don’t just get a song—you get a statement. Neapolitan rapper and producer Oyoshe returns with a bold, soul-stirring new single titled “CHANCE,” teaming up with New Jersey’s Crimeapple for a gritty, emotionally charged track that bridges street survival with global resonance.
After years apart since their fiery collaboration on “Musica Sacra” with Rome Streetz of Griselda Records, Oyoshe and KML reunite, diving deep into the hard truths of their respective realities. Produced by Doc Ketamer, with sharp cuts from DJ Snifta, CHANCE echoes the raw, lo-fi textures of New York’s underground hip-hop scene—drawing heavy influence from Griselda’s signature soundscape. But there’s nothing derivative here; this is lived experience, filtered through razor-edged bars and a beat that feels like walking through alleyways lit by the dim glow of resolve.
With Crimeapple—known for his work with DJ Muggs, Apollo Brown, and Conway The Machine—delivering surgical verses rooted in his Colombian-American background, CHANCE becomes more than just a song. It’s a narrative of survival, of carving paths through systems designed to keep people trapped. Oyoshe, never one to shy from socio-political undertones, uses the track to speak on what it means to rise out of the “Barrio”—to take that one chance and make it matter.
Recorded at Hal5 Studio in Amsterdam and polished by Drew Trax, the single also comes with a compelling visual directed by Matteo Marchese of Black Diamond Agency. The video captures Oyoshe and Crimeapple meeting in KML studios, two artists from distant geographies sharing a common language: resilience.
