Q & A With Chantae

Q: What kind of musical genre do you see yourself fitting in and why?

A: I call my music trap-pop because it’s trap music but I may throw in a pop vocal behind it or the energy is a bit more pop inspired. But I love so many different styles of music.

Q: Name 3 music artists alive or dead that you'd want to smoke with?

A: Bob Marley, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.

Q: Tell us a little bit about where you are from?

A: I’m from NY...born and bred but I honestly consider myself a worldcitizen. I’ve traveled all over when I was younger and lived in a few different cities.

Q: When was the first time you got high? How old were you, what type of weed was it, how was that experience, etc?

A: First time I smoked was on 85 south in ATL. I was in my mid teens and it was Freaknik lol. All the cars were parked on the highway, music blasting, and my cousins passed me a joint. I remember burning myself and coughing a lot...I was so inexperienced in the land of weed lol.

Q: Does cannabis help your creative process?

A: Absolutely! I’m a sour diesel girl. It just puts me on a whole other level where I’m not thinking too much and I just let the vibes flow.

Q: Do you find it difficult to be open about your cannabis use in the music industry?

A: Not really because my whole brand is “Love Me Hate Me”....it’s tatted on my back. I do what I want and I’m not here to people-please. If you're rockin’ with me then you rockin’. My cannabis use doesn’t negatively affect my work.

Q: What's your favorite way to consume cannabis?

A: I love one-hitters or a nicely rolled blunt. Cigar paper PLEASE. A swisher sweet is divine lol.

Q: What's new with Chantae?

A: Well, I’m excited to have collaborated with Happy Munkey on this new project called “Elevated” which dropped on 4/20. This song is all about elevation on multiple levels. We just shot the video with director International P so, you know it’s dope!

Outside of that, I’m just staying focused and will be releasing music every month of 2021. Patiently waiting for live music to return but in the meantime, I’m just continuing my own personal and professional growth.

Q: Lastly, Any inspiring words for aspiring artists?

A: Continue pursuing your craft and don’t let people tell you what you can & can’t do. You never know who’s watching so remember, “you ain’t
