No longer limited by major label constraints Russ has indulged more into his “boom bap side” lately, releasing his CHOMP EP in 2020. He revisits that mood again, returning with a sequel that’s even more beastly than the first.
Now a full-fledged and fully fleshed out project, CHOMP 2 is a 14-song drop loaded with guests: Jay Electronica, Papoose, Ransom, Westside Gunn, Styles P, Big K.R.I.T., Snoop Dogg, Joey Bada$$, Wale, Big Sean, Conway the Machine, Ghostface Killah, Cyhi the Prynce, and Lloyd Banks. Meanwhile, production is handled by DJ Premier, Hit-Boy, Alchemist, Hi-Tek, BINK!, Jake One, Statik Selektah, 9th Wonder, Mr. Porter, Harry Fraud, and Russ himself. Yeah, that’s pretty hard to argue against.
