Lu Chin Chen is back with a follow up to his acclaimed 2024 “Dangerous Solution” album, with a fresh new 8 song EP, “Height”.
The album features production reminiscent of Golden Era boombap with 8 seasoned beatsmiths. Front Gamble, Sultan Mir, Conflikt of Hellzwind, Zam One, P-Ro and Tali Rodriguez of the Knuckle Dragguz collective, Skinny Bonez Tha Godfatha & Fuzzy Ed.
The only album feature is Dystrakted, a veteran turntablist hailing from Thunder Bay, Ontario who appears on 3 songs off of the album, cutting up hooks, bridges and outros with precision as usual. Lu Chin Chen handles all of the rhymes and vocals on this one and doesn’t disappoint.
The first single, “Cheque It Out” features production by Zam One with the chorus and bridge cuts by Dystrakted. Lu hits you with some slick bars that blend humor in, similar to Beatnuts, Alkaholiks etc., over some cracking drums by Zam.
There is also an animated video for ‘Call the Ambulance’, produced by Fuzzy Ed, featuring Dystrakted, coming in late July, animated by Kaleb Bumboclap who did Lu’s video for 23 Guinnesses from Lu’s Weight Ep from 2023, also produced by Fuzzy Ed and featuring Dystrakted’s prime time cuts.
Overall great body of work and a well put together blend of beats. The sound quality is top notch thanks to Mark Downie who handles all of Lu’s mixing & mastering on all of his albums since 2004.
“Height” will be streaming on all platforms on 7/7/2026 with CDs and downloads available for purchase at luchinchen.bandcamp.com as well.
