Persian-NZ protean CHAII has been on an upwards trajectory since releasing her debut visual EP ‘Lightswitch’ last year, which features the single “WOW (Look At Me)” that you might recognise from the Apple iPhone 12 ad. Her explosive sound, which merges Western hip hop with Persian sonic nuances, has made waves worldwide; she’s soundtracked a Fendi campaign, been featured in both the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and FIFA 2021 soundtracks, and was the first NZ artist to be Spotify’s global emerging artist program, RADAR.
CHAII’s latest single sees her link up with NZ-via-Zimbabwe rap duo eleven7four and triple-platinum artist Kings, and the result could not be slicker. Rolling rhythms underscore sharp bars from Kings and eleven7four, with CHAII’s levitating choruses weaving it all together perfectly. Check it out the video for “Might Just” here:
