Last month, we introduced you to a severely underrated R&B singer from Chicago, C. Rich. I’m not one for R&B, but his Certified Organic had me reaching out for the closest girl to share my soul’s deepest secrets. In all seriousness, self-written songs like “Blue Dream” help the singer join the likes of Chris LeSage and Lili K. as some of my favorite natural singers in Chicago right now.
Meanwhile, Treated Crew producer Na$im Williams has been building his name up in the Chicago hip hop scene with production for the likes of Chandler London, ProbCause, Vic Spencer, fellow Treated Crew members Gzus Piece and Mic Terror, and more, collected on his summer mixtape, Na$im World Order: Black & White. Not one to simply rest on his laurels, the producer has made his first step into the R&B world.
“Bad/Heart” represents a softer side to Na$im’s typical production matched perfectly with C. Rich’s subdued vocals. As if the story of a broken relationship wouldn’t already give you chills, the haunting echoed voices in the background will give you goosebumps, perfect for a chilly November day. You can buy C. Rich’s Certified Organic on iTunes here, as well as downloading Na$im’s most recent drop, The Symbiote, here. Of course, be sure to check out “Bad/Heart” below.
